After sweeping a two-game series against defending league champ Aspen Saturday at the Stephen C. West Ice Arena in Breckenridge, the Summit Lightning peewee B squad now stands at first place in the conference standings.
The Lightning had a dominating defensive performance in shutting out Aspen 3-0 and 6-0 in the two games.
Both teams played some tight defense in the early going of Game 1, but Summit's Sean Costello broke the game open with two first-period goals.
Carter Flavell added the Lightning's third and final goal in the second period, and goalie Wyatt Dickerson was flawless in earning the 3-0 shutout.
The afternoon game wasn't as close.
Summit opened up the ice to take advantage of its speed, coach Robert Chestnut said, and the strategy worked.
Summit blue-liner Emily Burch scored three goals in the Lightning's win, while teammates Brendan Greenberg, Costello and Flavell each added a goal a piece. And for the second time in the day, Dickerson recorded a shutout — his fourth of the season.
The Lightning now stand at 4-0 on the year and head into a weekend battle with the Greeley Renegades (4-2) for sole possession of first place.
Costello currently leads the league in scoring, while Carter ranks fifth. Dickerson's shutout total is also tops in the league.
