Mitchell overcame an early deficit to hand the Aberdeen Cougars their first girls' hockey loss of the season Saturday afternoon. The Marlins erased a two-goal deficit and finished strong in a 6-3 victory at the Odde Ice Center. "I thought we had a good effort, but we made mistakes and didn't pick each other up," said Cougars coach Rob Weinmeister. "We outshot them, but didn't create good scoring opportunities on our shots." The Cougars jumped on back-to-back goals from Kailyn Poppen and Olivia Sandvig less than a minute apart in the opening period. However, the Marlins got one of those back on a goal by Brynlee Sabers just 15 seconds later. From there, Mitchell took control with a pair of goals in the second period, and three more in the third. "Unfortunately, I think we beat ourselves today and probably not quite the level of teamwork we expect from ourselves," Weinmeister said. "We weren't working together like we should or providing puck support front and backside.
