Knox posted three shutouts for the week as the Prairie Fire’s extended their winning streak to five games. Benelli led a back line that allowed only 11 shots, three on goal, across the three games. The sophomore scored the game-winner with two minutes remaining in the second overtime against Central when his long shot snuck over the goalkeeper and into the upper right corner.
