The Performance: Anoka-Ramsey claimed the Region XIII Championship, thanks in large part to sophomore striker Nils Gulbranson. The Golden Ram scored with only two minutes remaining in regulation to tie Riverland at 2-2 and force extra time. Then - with two minutes to play in the second overtime period - Gulbranson scored the OT game winner for ARCC to clinch the hardware... he also had a goal in the ARCC 7-0 win over St. Scholastica's JV team earlier in the week. |
