Coon Rapids 18, Osseo/Park Center 3
The Cardinals rebounded from a season-opener loss to No. 4 ranked Stillwater by overwhelming Osseo/Park Center in the Northwest Suburban Conference opener for both schools played at Osseo High School.

Coon Rapids coach Jeff DeJoy categorized the win as through as they established a 7-2 lead at the half before outscoring the Orioles 11-1 in the second half. “We got three goals in the first two, 2:30 of the second half to extend our lead,” he said as the scoring was nearly as diverse as the score with almost a dozen scorers. “Quite a few people stepped up and everybody got involved tonight.”

Coon Rapids put 35 shots on the Orioles goalie. “We took a lot of good things from the loss and built on it in this one,” he said. “It definitely showed.”
