DATELINE - Sophomore Gavin Garry scored the lone goal midway through the second period as No. 18-2A Minnetonka beat No. 8-2A Wayzata 1-0 on Thursday at the Plymouth Ice Center to sweep the teams' regular season series.

After a Wayzata turnover in the neutral zone, Garry broke into the Trojans' zone and fired a low shot that beat Will Ingemann on his blocker side. The goal was Garry's team-leading 11th of the season.

Just two penalties were called, one on each team, and neither goaltender was particularly busy. Ingemann finished with 16 saves for Wayzata (13-6-1).

Junior Kaiser Nelson, making his third varsity start, earned his second shutout by stopping 19 shots.

Minnetonka (12-8-1) beat Wayzata 4-1 on Jan. 8 in the teams' previous meeting.

Waseca (4-12-1) led 5-1 early in the second period only to see Fairmont (6-12-0) score the next seven goals, three of them consecutively from Anderson - and all scored as unassisted - to take an 8-5 lead heading into the third.

Waseca rallied by scoring five of the first six goals in the third period, including three from freshman Brayden Hesch-Priem.
