Unfortunately, the Stars came home with three losses; however, they had one very eventful game against Shakopee. On Thursday, the first game for the Stars was against Champlin, which they lost 10-2 with junior Emily Moshkau and senior Marya Losinski scoring goals for the Stars. Junior Trisha Wendlandt was in goal and made 30 saves for the Stars. "This was a tough team for us. The girls tried very hard and didn't quit until the game ended; their team effort was outstanding during this game. I am very proud of the girls," commented coach Kirby St. John. Then the Stars played Shakopee on Friday, losing 2-1 in overtime with ninth grader Marie Omann scoring the single goal for River Lakes in the first period. The Stars went into the third period tied 1-1 against Shakopee, and neither team scored during the third period, forcing overtime. After an eight minute overtime, still neither team had scored. After that, both teams had a penalty-shot shootout. Shakopee scored on their sixth try to win 2-1. Senior goalie Crystal Songetay made 56 saves for the Stars in the loss. On Saturday, the Stars played St. Francis and lost 3-1. Losinski scored the only goal for the Stars in the first period, and Wendlandt made 25 saves.
