Hydrostat hosts CMMA tour Members get a look inside the niche business

BY NATASHA BARBER | STAFF WRITER

RICE — More than 40 members of the Central Minnesota Manufacturers Association visited a Rice business that often goes unnoticed Sept. 27.

Hydrostat Inc., a full-service cylinder testing and requalification center, hosted a tour of its facilities Thursday morning. The company, which was founded and licensed in 1999, has been expanding and transitioning to a larger space over the last year.

Hydrostat, located at 320 S. Division Street in Rice, was born when owner, Stacy Schraut, saw a need for the industry while working as a safety director for a company in St. Cloud.

Schraut began his business with three employees and 6,000-square-feet of leased building space.

In its nearly 20 years of operation, Hydrostat has grown to occupy 43,000 square-feet and employ about 40 staff members. The business provides service to a variety of industries, repairing and refurbishing cylinders and tanks used to house propane, acetylene, oxygen, carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen and other PHOTO BY NATASHA BARBER gases. Hydrostat has one goal in mind: to ensure the cylinders are safe for use. Stacy Schraut, owner of Hydrostat Inc. in Rice, speaks to members of the Central Minnesota Manufacturers Assocaition Hydrostat page 3 Sept. 27 in Rice. Hydrostat was founded in 1999.

The court participated in “Pin the Heart on the Tin Man” and then began telling pun-filled, light-hearted jokes in a stand-off, laugh-off.

Following the friendly competitions, the shoeboxes were opened, unveiling the title winners, and participants and audience members were off to see what the rest of the night would bring.

City to transition to new logo

BY NATASHA BARBER | STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS — The city of Sauk Rapids is gaining a new look.

After about a year’s worth of consultation, a new city logo was unveiled at the Sauk Rapids City Council meeting Sept. 24. The design was presented by Marla Elness Design.

Marla Elness, a Sauk Rapids native, worked with the sales tax committee and administration to develop more than 15 options for the city, with the committee settling on a choice from two. The arched logo was the recommendation made to the council.

Yellow, orange and red are highlighted in three cascading water droplets above the city’s name. The logo features colors and scallops from the city’s iconic water tower as well as elements of the river.

“Even though the water tower was not originally the main focus, this logo happened to pick up those elements while showing the water movement of the river rapids and a gradiation of warm colors that seperates us from the blue tones in the logos of neighboring cities,” Elness said. “The type font selected is clean, sharp and simple for all areas of readability.”

“We cover the whole gamut of cylinders and tanks,” said Schraut, of the business which is regulated by the United States Department of Transportation. “… Our main purpose for the industry is to make sure these cylinders are safe for the companies that are filling them.”

Schraut said there are three ways to test cylinders.

The simplest is a visual inspection completed every five years on low pressure tanks such as the 20-pound propane tanks found on household grills.

Paint is removed from the tanks through a shot peening process. Then, employees physically look for imperfections on the tank.

Building No. 1 is where Hydrostat tests high-pressure cylinders – up to 10,000 psi – using hydrostatic testing and ultrasonic examination.

When Schraut first started testing, Hydrostat would complete 400-500 inspections a week; they now finish about 1,000 each day.

The cylinders are brought to the building where labels and paint are

reads the wall thickness of the cylinder, looking for a dent or gouge. The cylinders that sit outside all year round and corrodes on the bottom, they will have a thinner cylinder wall from that corrosion.

This ultrasonic tester will pick all of that up.”

Once the cylinder has passed inspection, it is dried with pressurized air and stamped with the mandated information. Then, the piece is painted in a color scheme requested by the customer.

Cryogenic cylinders, natural gas bulk tanks and acetylene cylinders all go through inspection and restoration processes specific to their type.

In addition to testing, Hydrostatic can complete tasks such as painting, and valve repair or replacement. They also buy tanks direct from manufacturers to have on hand to supply to businesses who need them.

The hour-long tour offered a quick look into what goes on at Hydrostat’s headquarters. It was PHOTOS BY NATASHA BARBER a business most attendees Painted high-pressure cylinders are stored in Hydrostat, Inc.’s building in Rice Sept. 27. had never toured.

“That cylinder actually goes down into the ground into a steel jacket and then it is pressurized,” Schraut said of hydrostatic testing. “A computer system reads how much that metal expands and contracts.”

Each piece is tested beyond its capacity as a precautionary measure.

“Most of the cylinders

are tested for five thirds of what they are filled to,” Schraut said. “So, a 2,000psi cylinder, we actually test it to 3,360 psi. … We are going beyond the limits of what it will ever be filled to.”

The most recent technology in the cylinder testing facility is ultrasonic examination. Cylinders are submerged horizontally in water.

“The machine spins it around and it shoots ultrasonic waves into the cylinder,” Schraut said. “It

The project is named Sauk Rapids Riverfront Parks Master Planning and Implementation and will focus on key outcomes: redeveloping Southside and Lions Sunset parks to engage the river, establish programming and ideas for the parks, provide a gathering space for events in Southside Park, provide an interactive water feature in Lions Sunset Park, provide concepts for a community building, additional restrooms, lighting and public parking; and enhance the parks to better serve the community and downtown.

Confluence has worked with cities throughout Minnesota and the Midwest United States, including working with the city St. Cloud’s Riverwalk.

According to the request for action, the firm will see the development through from master plan, to design, construction documentation, bidding and formal construction. The document said if the council is in general support of the draft documents, city staff with schedule an open house for the public and present to local service organizations before bringing the plans back to the council for final approval of the formal design.

The next city council meeting will take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9 due to the observance of Columbus Day Oct. 8.

In other council news: - Approved the preliminary levy of $3,980, 600, a $174,700 over last year.

City finance director Jack Kahlhamer said the city is decreasing its debt but continues to reallocate those funds to

capital improvement and equipment plans in order to be able to complete future tasks without issuing large sums of debt. However, Kahlhamer said much of the tax increases over the last few years are directly tied to the city ramping up its police department officers and other city staff.

“We’ve had some general levy increases for capital improvements, but the bulk of it probably over the last 3-4 years is we’ve added four (police) officers, an assistant building official … and a public works assistant,” Kahlhamer said. “That’s probably the bulk of the increases over the last two years.”

Kahlhamer reiterated that the city’s tax rate is competitive – the second lowest in the area, and said he is happy with the city’s amount of debt.

- Approved replacing the carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide detection system at public works, as well as have the ducts cleaned and sealed. Public works has ongoing issue with soot from the machine shop filtering into the office area, possibly due to a plugged air intake.

- Approved a donation from Branding Iron, of Sauk Rapids, of 120 gallons of Jet Power II grease liquefier to be used by public works.

- Approved the gift of a little free library to the Sauk Rapids Police Department. The library will be placed at Oakwood Village Park on the 1700 block of Second Avenue North. Public works will install and the police department will maintain and monitor the library.

- Approved a site plan and variance at 1155 10th Ave. N.E., Sauk Rapids for an apartment building to be constructed by Torborg Builders.

Preschool hosts special guest

BY Anna (Saldana) Hinkemeyer STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS – A man arrived in Sauk Rapids Sept. 25. He made a stop at Little House Preschool. There, Michael Burton told his story of the imaginary donkey accompanying him.

Burton, an Australian storyteller, author and performer, came to Little House as a part of his American tour of his story “The Very Old Donkey”.

Burton published the book in 1995, but spends time traveling to tell the story to groups of children around the world.

The story originates from performances given to schools in Scandinavia and Germany to kids who knew little to no English.

SAUK RAPIDS — Eighteen Sauk Rapids graduates from the class of 1953 gathered at Jimmy’s Pour House to celebrate their 65th class reunion Sept. 15.

Dennis Foss gave the tribute to the 24 who have died out of 59 graduates. The program included Joan Erstad Pickard announcing the

Absentee, early voting begins for 2018 general election ST. PAUL— Voting for the 2018 general election began Sept. 21.

The vote-from-home and early voting period for all federal, state, judicial and county offices runs from Sept. 21 until Nov. 5. In-person Election Day voting will take place throughout Minnesota Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Anyone can go to http://mnvotes.org to check their eligibility, register to vote, locate their county or city election office and request an absentee ballot.

This year’s primary election saw near-record voter participation, with 925,554 Minnesotans casting ballots, the most since at least 1950. In

addition to leading the nation in voter turnout, Minnesota has the longest early voting period of any state in the country.

“Minnesotans enjoy the longest early voting period – 46 days – of any state in the nation,” said Steve Simon, Minnesota Secretary of State.

“We saw record numbers of early voting and total voter participation during the primary. It’s clear to me Minnesotans of all political leanings are fired up to vote in 2018 and keep Minnesota No. 1 in the nation in voter participation.”

For nine elections in a row, Minnesota was No. 1 in the country in voter turnout. In 2014, Min-

nesota fell to No. 6. But, in 2016, Minnesotans responded to the challenge and returned to the firstplace ranking in the county for voter participation.

Voters can also request an absentee ballot by downloading the 2018 Minnesota Absentee Ballot Application and returning it to their county election office by email, mail or fax. Absentee ballot application forms are available in English, Spanish, Hmong, Somali, Vietnamese, Russian, Chinese, Lao, Oromo, Khmer and Amharic.

Voters can request an absentee ballot even if they are not registered to vote; a voter registration application will be pro-

vided with their ballot.

Minnesotans voting absentee by mail must make sure their ballot is returned on or before the Nov. 6 general election.

Ballots returned after Nov. 6 will not be counted.

The last day to vote absentee in-person is Monday, Nov. 5.

Minnesotans can use the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website to view a sample ballot and find links to candidates’ websites.

Beginning Sept. 21, upon requesting an absentee ballot, voters may check the status of their ballot.

Newspapers still top choice for local news!

People prefer newspapers for their local news over TV and internet, according to a survey conducted for the National Newspaper Association.

For community news, local newspapers beat the internet by 3-1.

The reason people stick with their local paper is because they want to know about what is going on in their community.

Where to find detailed garden information In this column, I can choose a subject and give you general information about that subject, but if you want specific details about a plant, problem or insect, detailed information may be found in the old standbys – liBY LINDA G. brary books, personal reference TENNESON books or gardening friends.

Green and Most of us with internet access Growing in will go online and do a search.

Benton County The best sources are those that give research-based information. Web sites that end in “.edu” are from universities that have done extensive research before publishing their information. The University of Minnesota-Extension or similar sites from other states will contain accurate information, particularly our neighbors in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Iowa which have similar growing conditions. Other web sites may also have good information; however, it is best to check non-education web sites against a research-based web site. If you get the same information, the web site is probably reliable.

Useful web sites include: - U of MN Extension Yard and Garden “What’s wrong with my plant?” http://www.extension.umn. edu/garden/diagnose/plant.

- U of MN Extension Yard and Garden “Is this plant a weed?” http://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/diagnose/weed.

My favorite books include “The Time Life Encyclopedia of Gardening” series which was written in the 1970s with various editors. They are available only as used or possibly library books but are full of useful information. Any of the books on annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs and more for Minnesota and Wisconsin by Don Engebretson and Don Williamson. And “Pollinators of Native Plants” and “Bees, an Identification and Native Plant Forage Guide” by Heather Holm.

CROSSWORD

Letters to the editor

Letters to the editor Put Southside Park developments to a vote Marie Keiser, Sauk Rapids Since moving to Sauk Rapids the summer before last, I have enjoyed walking to Southside Park more times than I can count. Its relaxing atmosphere, attractive landscape and view of the river are always a pleasant break from the man-made things we see all the time.

I look forward to bringing my daughter there to go sledding in the winter when she is a bit older, and I hope she will also enjoy exploring nature in the form of ducks, bugs, geese and frogs.

While I would be very happy, as I am sure most residents of the area would be, to see a renovated bathroom building at the park, I am somewhat concerned by the tentative park developments. As these changes will be costly and will affect all the citizens of Sauk Rapids, I propose to the city council that a referendum should be held, asking either the surrounding precincts or the city as a whole.

Send Joe to state senate Gerry Feld, Sauk Rapids Minnesota Senate District 13 deserves an honest, strong, hard-working, dedicated leader, willing to go the extra mile. That is why I am endorsing Stearns County Commissioner Joe Perske for the job.

As district 13 grows, we need a senator who understands the problems and has worked with them from the ground level. As mayor of Sartell, Joe worked with members of the community to solve problems and prepare the city for future growth. He recognized the St. Cloud metro area was rapidly growing, and it was necessary for Sartell to be prepared to meet future challenges.

As a Stearns County Commissioner, Joe had to work with issues regarding both rural and urban affairs.

While dealing with these issues and people, Joe never forgot the basic principles he was taught as a child. Always treat others as you would like to be treated.

Joe has kept those principles alive as he worked with the youth of his community. As an athletic coach, Joe not only taught his players sportsmanship, but he became a guiding hand in the lives of his players. He was never too busy to talk with his players about life and being good citizens.

Of course, being married for 39 years, Joe understands the challenges of raising a family on a budget that sometimes does not leave much for luxuries. As a husband and father, Joe deals with the same issues every family in Senate District 13 faces on a daily basis.

By electing Joe Perske to the Minnesota State Senate, we will have a man in St. Paul that has already worked hard in city and county government to solve problems and face tough issues head on.

As an independent conservative, I believe Joe is the only true conservative in this race. His life style and work ethic has proven this time and again. Please join me in sending Joe to the senate. He is a good man, with an honest forthright outlook on life that can make a huge difference in the state capital where he will work hard for Senate District 13.

Perske for senate Geri Swanson, Sauk Rapids As a resident of Minnesota District 13 and voter, I am casting my vote for Joe Perske to be the next senator for district 13.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Joe, his wife, Jan, and their family for over 20 years. Joe’s greatest assets are his strong character and work ethic. Joe has lived in central Minnesota for most of his life and there is no candidate as passionate about doing what is best for this area as Joe. Joe was a teacher for 37 years and knows what education needs to create the most fiscally responsible schools with the best results.

One of Joe’s focus areas will be health care costs.

Joe’s daughter is a cancer survivor, and he knows the crippling financial pressure medical bills can create. He What We Can Do For You will work with insurance companies to keep costs down.

Joe is one of the most common-sense people I have known in my life. He will have the best interest of his constituents in the front of his mind with all issues. He is not backed by big company money and has no allegiance to big business. He is free to do what is right and take on the issues that need to be addressed. Joe is what this state really needs to promote business growth and balance the budget while sustaining programs that are needed. St. Paul needs this common-sense guy in the senate.

Vote Joe Perske for Minnesota Senate in November.

Volunteering combats seasonal affective disorder

Sara Heurung, area supervisor for the Foster Grandparent Program With the cooler weather and shorter days this past week, I find myself getting ready for another great Minnesota winter.

When we think about Minnesota winters, some talk of the bitter cold and shorter days, while others talk about the beauty of the falling snow and hoar frost. What many do not talk about is Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a form of depression that cycles with the seasons, and although it can happen with any season, it is most common during the winter months because of the shorter days and the lack of time spent outdoors.

Those who are clinically diagnosed with SAD may be prescribed antidepressants or advised to partake in light therapy. But, what else can people do to combat the symptoms of SAD? Volunteer.

Studies have found those who volunteer report shorter periods of sadness and depression than those who do not. When one volunteers they are guaranteed to get out of the house and meet other people.

Volunteering can boost self-esteem and expand connections in a community, which has been linked to longer life expectancy and better health. Volunteering has been known to give one a sense of purpose and makes one feel good about themselves.

Benton County 4-H exhibits best at the 2018 Minnesota State Fair FOLEY — Minnesota 4-Hers from 87 counties arrived with over 2,800 animals at the 2018 Minnesota State Fair for the 4-H livestock encampment which took place Aug. 22-26.

During the second half of the fair, 4-Hers from 87 counties brought over 2,300 exhibits, delivered about 175 demonstrations and participated in dozens of group learning experiences and performances.

Benton County 4-H participants have been preparing for this event all summer long. 4-H youth are encouraged to select project areas that reflect their personal interests which leads to participation in self-directed and volunteer-led learning opportunities. In addition to growing in knowledge and skills in specific project areas, 4-H youth have opportunities to develop skills such as communicating, problem solving, collaboration and decision making.

Education is integral in the learn by doing philosophy of 4-H. As part of the educational component, Minnesota 4-H requires every youth participating in the livestock encampment to take part in a livestock interview.

Along with interviews, all 4-H youth participating in livestock programming are required to complete Livestock Quality Assurance and Ethics Training. Through this certification, youth are educated on bio-security, educating the public on the role of livestock and caring for their animal’s welfare.

Returning again was the peer mentor program, Speaking Up for Agriculture.

This program assists youth in understanding the role of livestock not only as a project,

but as products consumers purchase and use. As 4-H exhibitors share animals with the general public, they use the opportunity to educate consumers about the stages of livestock productions.

At the state fair, 4-Hers meet experts to have their livestock or general projects evaluated, discuss what they have learned and identify future learning opportunities.

Individual exhibits are placed as white, red, blue, purple and champions. These 4-H members have all worked hard to show exceptional exhibits at the fair.

Many 4-H participants also have the opportunity to finance their education as recipients of scholarships.

This year the dairy project continued with the 10th annual

dairy showcase and awarded special recognition and scholarship to 25 participants based on their dairy industry knowledge, 4-H dairy project involvement, along with state fair dairy show results.

The annual purple ribbon auction sponsored by the Minnesota Livestock Breeders Association presented 41 scholarships to youth with well-rounded leadership, community service and livestock involvement through their 4-H career.

CDC released the National Immunization Survey data as part of its kick-off of the #FightFlu campaign, a partnership with the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases and others to protect more Americans from influenza this year.

According to CDC estimates from the NIS, approximately 62 percent of Minnesota children between the ages of 6 months and 17 years received vaccinations during the 2017-

18 influenza season. That rate was similar to but up slightly from estimates for the previous two years, which were just over 60 percent. The overall national rate of coverage was 57.9 percent, a decrease of 1.1 percentage points from the previous season. The survey showed vaccination coverage varied by state and age group.

“Protecting slightly more Minnesota children from influenza last year is good news, especially given the lack of a no-shot, nasal spray option, but we still have too many children left unprotected from this potentially serious disease,” said Jan Malcolm, Minnesota Commissioner of Health. “The flu vaccine protects those who receive it as well as those in the community who cannot be vaccinated due to medical conditions.”

Five children died from influenza or related complications during last year’s flu season, and more than 6,400 Minnesotans of all ages were hospitalized for influenza. CDC says 74 percent of the 172 pediatric deaths nationwide in 201718 involved unvaccinated

children. Most of them did not have any underlying health conditions. Health officials noted these numbers underscore how severe influenza can be and that vaccination is the best tool we have to fight influenza.

“Since children can’t make the decision to get vaccinated themselves, it’s up to parents and health care providers to make it happen,” said Kris Ehresmann, MDH Infectious Disease Division Director.

“Parents should ask their health care provider about influenza vaccine and providers should check the vaccination status of patients at every visit and strongly recommend vaccination.”

MDH is partnering with pediatricians to get more children vaccinated against influenza this year.

“The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends all children ages 6 months and older receive the flu vaccine each year, ideally by the end of October,” said Dr. Lori DeFrance, president of the Minnesota Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Parents should be aware the flu can cause serious complications – even

in healthy children. The flu vaccine is the best way to protect them from outbreaks in schools, daycares and communities.”

The survey’s data for Minnesota show differences in coverage between age groups. The rate for children 6 months through 4 years (75 percent) is significantly higher than the rate for children 5 through 12 years (65 percent). Coverage falls even more for adolescents 13-17 years (50 percent). That suggests influenza vaccination may be related to convenience or how often children of different ages visit their health care provider. It is more difficult to get school-aged children in to see a provider during the school year.

Ehresmann said there are greater opportunities for influenza vaccination today, so there are fewer excuses for not vaccinating children, especially school-aged children and adolescents.

“Many clinics will be offering walk-in hours for influenza vaccine over the next few months, so check with your home clinic,” Ehresmann said. “Also, most pharmacies and convenience clinics offer walk-in

The Lumberjacks scored three times and attempted 13 shots on goal in the first period.

The Granite City Lumberjacks and St. Louis Junior Blues played two highly competitive games Sept. 22 and 23 at the Sports Arena East in Sauk Rapids. The teams split the wins, with an exciting performance coming from the Lumberjacks as they tied Saturday’s game with only seven seconds left of play and capitalized on the momentum in overtime, winning 6-5.

While the Lumberjacks claimed Saturday’s game, St. Louis was arguably outperforming the Lumberjacks in terms of offensive aggression and consistency.

However, the Junior Blues failed to capitalize on offensive opportunities, often getting stopped by the Lumberjacks before they could get a shot off.

The Storm extended the lead in the start of the second quarter when Tretter received for another 24-yard pass. But, SRR could not hold.

The Warriors added two touchdowns and a twopoint conversion in the second quarter, with two more touchdowns in the

third.

Girls fall despite early lead

The Sauk Rapids-Rice High School girls soccer team traveled to Brainerd to take on the Warriors Sept. 25.

Maia Hasbrouck found the Warrior net early in the game, bringing SRR to a 1-0 lead. However, the lead did not last. The Warriors tied the game at the 21:38-minute mark, and the Storm fell in a 5-1 loss.

The Storm were behind 3-1 going into the half.

“We played a much tougher game than the score lets on,” said Kris Fremo, head coach. “We put a lot of solid pressure on the Brainerd net and took 13 shots to Brainerd’s 16. However, Brainerd converted on their opportunities to create the final score.”

Maggie Fernholz was in the net for Sauk Rapids-Rice, netting eight saves on the night.

Storm bounce back; spike Spartans

BY MARK KLAPHAKE STAFF WRITER

The Storm volleyball team sure hates the taste of a loss.

For the third team this season, the Sauk Rapids-Rice squad rebounded from a loss with a nice win. They did that again Tuesday night when they went to Rocori and took home a 19-25, 25-12, 28-26, 25-15 win over the Spartans.

The Storm have not lost consecutive matches all season, and the win over Rocori was following a four-set loss to Willmar Sept. 20. They are 9-3 overall and 5-2 in

the Central Lakes Conference.

“I am very pleased and excited with our record,” said Karen Beckmann, head coach.

“There is a lot of talent on this team. We are working together to master our strengths and weaknesses so we are ready when it matters. The girls are working hard from start to finish.”

Tuesday night did not start good for the Storm. They struggled getting a good offensive flow early on and quickly trailed 14-7. They rebounded to cut the deficit to three, 22-19, after Morgan Maselter went down the line with a kill, but the Spartans scored the final three points of the game.

“We started with a little hesitation in our play,” Beckmann said. “There was a pivotal point in the first set where we started to get our rhythm and the passes started to get to the setter which allowed us to utilize our offensive strengths. Our front row was able to connect and finish towards the end of the first set, and it continued into the

The momentum did continue into game two.

Bailey Roscoe had a kill off a block early on to put the Storm ahead 4-3. They would not trail again. They scored six straight points off Roscoe’s serve and strong net play from Soleil Newland, who had three kills in the spurt, that put the Storm ahead 17-8. SRR was not challenged the

“The third set was very important as it showed the girls they can win and overcome adversity,” Beckmann said. “They never quit and continued to support and encourage each other until the end of the set.”

The loss seemed to dampen the Rocori spirit as SRR was able to win game four by 10 points to seal the valuable conference victory.

“It is very important to secure that win and show the girls we can beat anyone when they work together,” Beck-

mann said. “That win allows us to stay toward the top of the conference and fills the girls with confidence.”

When the Storm were on and getting good passes from the back row and sets from Staci Meyer the duo up front of Maselter and Newland could notbe stopped.

They finished with 17 kills each.

“The whole team was able to work collectively to provide ample opportunity for those two to finish at the net,” Beckmann said. “Getting that first pass to the setter allows us to run more options off our front row hitters. During this match, both Morgan and Soleil did an excellent

job of staying focused and finishing when needed. Soleil and Morgan were very effective on the blocking side as well with four and two blocks, respectively.

Another strength on this night was the Storm’s serving. They only missed six serves on the night and countered that with seven aces.

Maselter was 17-17 serving, and Alyssa Blais was 16-17 and led the team with three aces.

“Our serving is one of our strengths,” Beckmann said. “We are able to utilize the control and power the girls have and work our opponents’ serve receive. Coach Voss did a nice job of mixing up our spots and keeping the other team on their toes. The girls were able to capitalize on those serves, which helped give us more free balls to our side, allowing us to run an effective play offensively.”

Maselter led the team with 11 kills and Darci Peterson had a season high five blocks in the game. Defensively, the Storm got a great effort from many girls.

Roscoe, Emry Godwin, Cora Weirens, Maselter, Newland, Meyer, Halie Kipka and Alyssa Blais all had at least four digs.
