HERMANTOWN - Six of the greatest days in the history of the Proctor's program ended in wildly unexpected fashion, as the Rails stunned previously unbeaten Hermantown 4-3 on Tuesday at the St. Luke's Sports and Event Center, halting a decades-long winless streak against the No. 1-ranked (Class 1A) Hawks that had stretched to 40 games.

Drew Yost one-timed a pass from fellow freshman Jax Hardy with 4.4 second left for the winning goal, then was tackled by his teammates and buried under a mass of celebrating bodies.

Proctor last beat Hermantown on Jan. 5, 1999. The Rails 40-game winless streak to their Duluth-area neighbors includes 15 shutout losses.

Proctor (8-6-1) opened the scoring and never trailed. Hermantown (11-1-2) answered each time the Rails scored until Yost's goal on a shot that sailed just to the right of Hawks standout goaltender Bryce Francisco.

Breckin Ross and Hardy also scored for Proctor. Hardy finished with two assists for a three-point night. He leads the Rails with 24 points and is fourth statewide in scoring among freshmen.

Proctor went 3-0 to win its holiday tournament, beating Rochester Lourdes 3-2 in the championship game on Dec. 3. The Rails traveled to the top of the state and tied unbeaten International Falls 1-1 in overtime on Jan. 3.

Mick Martalock, Paxon Madill and Beau Christy scored for Hermantown, which outshot Proctor 37-19. Proctor goaltender William Pocrnich made 34 saves.
