Metros win consolation game at MHSHL tourney

DAVENPORT, Iowa - Zach Hagaman's shot in sudden death past goalkeeper Derek Temple gave the Sioux City Metros a 4-3 shootout win over Des Moines Capitals in a consolation semifinal Saturday morning at the Midwest High School Hockey League Varsity Championships.

Action at the Quad City Sports Center saw The Metros and the Capitals each miss their first three shots in the shootout before Hagaman connected. Sioux City goalkeeper Lee Noel then blocked a shot by Tyler Scott to clinch the victory.

Sioux City (14-21-1-3) rallied from a 2-1 deficit to tie the game on a goal from Ryan Thorsland. It was the Thorsland's second goal of the MHSHL Tournament and his 16th of the season.

Sioux City took a 3-2 lead as B.J. Jackson scored his team-leading 22nd goal of the season at the 10:14 mark of the third period. Des Moines (25-10-1-2) sent the game into overtime on a goal from Kyle Collins.

Sioux City, which also got a first-period goal from Jacob Wilde, will face Mason City in a fifth-place match that will start at 9:30 this morning.
