MONROE - Sauk Prairie's Max Stawinoga scored three goals in the first period as the Eagles exploded for six and rolled to a 9-4 win over the Monroe Avalanche boys hockey team Tuesday.
"We started off the game playing slow, and it put us in a pretty deep hole," Monroe coach Josh Smith said. "Our major issue comes down to mentally being prepared to play a full game and be ready at the start of the game. Until then we will continue to have a hard go of it."
Monroe drops to 0-10, 0-4 Badger South.
Monroe junior Tyler Johnson scored three goals.
Johnson scored his first goal on an assist by Jared Cline to cut the Eagles' lead to 4-1 at the 7-minute, 22-second mark in the first period.
Johnson scored a power-play goal at 7:18 in the second period to cut the Eagles' lead to 7-2.
Monroe's Cade Martin tacked on a goal at the end of the second period.
Johnson scored his third goal late in the third period on an assist from Martin.
The Eagles outshot the Avalanche 40-19. Monroe goalie Dan Guilliams had 15 saves.
