Stendel took it upon himself during a penalty kill, carrying the puck through the left circle and slipping it past the net minder for a 2-1 Owatonna lead at 7:52 of the second. Aaron Bangs extended his goal-scoring streak to five games with a power play marker late in the period on a great pass delivery from Taylor Bogen behind the 'Hawks net. OHS led 3-1 after two.
