After Kylie Soens makes it 2-1 for Brainerd, keeper Chloe Patrick denies the Elks entry. Finally, with Brainerd 3-1 in PKs, Lilly DeRosier calls game, and the ladies stormed the field.

Brainerd advances on PKs 4-1, ending Elk River’s season. The Warriors move on to the semifinals for a faceoff with Buffalo on Saturday.
