Duluth Denfeld spotted Hibbing-Chisholm a pair of early goals but Joe Eklund's hat trick led a big Duluth Denfeld surge to a 7-2 victory in the third game of a Lake Superior Conference Day quadrupleheader at Corey Veech Field at Centricity Stadium in Hermantown on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2021.

Jacob Jensrud scored twice in the first 17 minutes for Hibbing-Chisholm, but the Hunters scored the last seven goals unanswered, three from Eklund (who also had an assist) and one apiece from Gus Haugen, Parker Chastey, Caleb Kilroy and Calvin Kinziger. Conrad Lazzarro made three saves for Denfeld.
