Energetic RoughRiders blank Green Bay

Somebody forgot to tell the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders they were too tired to play an excellent hockey game Saturday night.

The RoughRiders, fresh off a 12-hour round trip to Sioux Falls, S.D., summoned enough energy Saturday night to blast Green Bay, 5-0, before 3,441 fans at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena.

Danny Tirone, who can't remember getting two straight shutouts in peewee hockey, posted his second straight USHL shutout in four days as the RoughRiders jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first period and dominated the game.

Carlos Fornaris collected two goals and was named the No.1 star of the game, with Tirone No.2 and Mitch Maloney No.3.

No.3 Kirkwood women tripped by No.10 Tritons

FORT DODGE - The wounded Kirkwood women's basketball team dropped an 80-74 verdict at 10th-ranked Iowa Central Saturday in an ICCAC conference basketball game.

The loss dropped the third-ranked Eagles into a tie for second place in the league standings with Iowa Central with 7-2 records. NIACC stands all alone in first place with a 9-0 mark.

Hanna Haynes, a 6-foot-2 freshman, hurt her knee in practice Friday and did not play for Kirkwood. Zoe Kelso, a 5-foot-11 freshman, hurt her knee during the game and was unable to continue. Both players will be examined Monday to determine the extent of their injuries. Two other Kirkwood players have knee injuries, digging further into the team's depth.
