The Eagles lost in a six-overtime game — the longest in Minnesota girls' hockey history — in which Taylor DeForrest held strong until East Ridge's 114th shot of the night.

Shot after shot came her way, but Apple Valley junior goaltender Taylor DeForrest kept stopping the East Ridge attack. From the second period onward Wednesday night, when her team trailed 2-0 in a Class 2A, Section 3 playoff game, no more got by her as her team rallied to tie the game in third period.


DeForrest, who already had faced a whopping 47 shots, kept it going through five overtime periods, stopping another 53 shots. Finally in the sixth overtime, on the 114th shot she faced in the nearly five-hour game, the puck went into the Eagles’ net, giving East Ridge a 3-2 victory in the longest game played in Minnesota high school girls’ hockey.


DeForrest’s performance smashed the previous record for saves in an overtime game, set in 2013 by Cassie Alexander of Lakeville North when she stopped 59 shots in a six-overtime, 4-3 loss to Minnetonka in the semifinals of the state tournament.
