The first was a 4-2 win Saturday night. The Stars got goals from Treycen Wuttunee and Zane Normand in the first period. Tisdale came back to tie the game in period three, but Rhett Briltz gave the Stars the lead and then Normand’s second of the game into an empty net sealed the win.
Sunday afternoon the Stars beat the Trojans again 6-4. Briltz opened the scoring and the Stars got goals from Jakin Lawrence, Wuttunee, Normand, Kobie Anderson and Dawson Gerbing en route to the win.
