The Warriors then scored two more goals in the third period and another three in the third period to set the score. Junior forward Jayson Shaugabay had a goal and two assists.  

Monticello (13-15-1) moves to the consolation side of the Class A bracket and will play at 3M Arena at Mariucci on Thursday.
