Hiland picked up a 2-0 win over Bishop Rosecrans in a Div. V district semifinal on Oct. 21.

Christian Mullet led the Hawks with a goal and an assist. Luke Bodiker scored once, and Bodie Gertz had an assist.

“Credit to Rosecrans,” Hiland coach Scott Bodiker said. “They came into the game with a good game plan designed to frustrate us. We are dealing with some injuries and were missing a few guys, which meant that we had some player combinations on the field together that haven't played an awful lot together. The weather became very challenging in the second half as well. Although those things combined to make it a frustrating night, but in the tournament, you just win and move on, and we are happy to do that.”
