Brookings scored four goals in the first six minutes of the second period as Noah Ronning, assisted by Kane Kurtenbach and Carter Merritt, started the onslaught. Kobe Ischen notched an unassisted short-handed goal before Noah Drew scored an unassisted power-play goal.
Kurtenbach then sandwiched two goals around another Drew unassisted tally as Merritt assisted on both of Kurtenbach’s goals as the Rangers upped their advantage to 9-1 through two.
Brookings scored its final six goals over the last half of the third period as Bouchard opened the scoring with an unassisted goal before Ischen found the back of the net off an assist from McCarty.
