The Dakota Hawks adapted floor hockey team flew past the Brainerd Warriors in their 3-2 victory last Wednesday. The Hawks looked to challenge themselves in this non-conference match up against the Warriors. This year the Hawks return a handful of strong experienced athletes, making this team one of the best head coach Brett Sadek has ever seen.

As the first period came to a scoreless end, the Hawks showed strong defense against the Warriors, not allowing them to get any open looks. Their defense controlled the game with clutch saves and the offense made smart looks.

“Our defense has been great this year. Our goalies have been very good,” said Sadek.

Early in the second period captain Grayson Nicolay scored two back-to-back goals, putting the Hawks up 2-0. During the third period, Jake Heikkenen and Cody Vleck scored for the Warriors, but the Hawks answered back with another goal from Nicolay.

“Grayson has been one of the highest scoring players I have ever seen,” said Sadek.

The Hawks improved their record to 4-1 on the season. They look forward to playing to playing another competitive match against a strong Anoka team. This season is all about soaring to new heights.
