The Lincoln Stars (12-9-0-0) defeated the Tri-City Storm 4-0 at the Ice Box on Wednesday night.
The game would be scoreless until the second period. Lincoln's Layne Loomer would fire a puck five-hole on the Tri-City netminder to give the Stars the 1-0 lead two and-a-half minutes into the second. Lincoln would then fire back two more times in the period, first with Aiden Janz depositing a puck into the top of the net courtesy of a great feed by Nate Pederson (Miami University). Lincoln would add another on a short-handed breakaway on a beautiful backhander by John Hirschfeld (Vermont) to take the 3-0 lead into the second intermission.
The Stars would add the lone tally of the third on Brady Kudrna's second goal of the season to give the Stars the 4-0 lead. Will Prowse made all 31 saves in the win, earning his league-leading third shutout of the season.
Lincoln is back in action on Friday against the Des Moines Buccaneers in Iowa with puck drop at 7:05 p.m.
