The Minnesota Crunch and Thunder bay Queens tied 1-1 in the first game of the Can /Am Queens cup in Thunderbay last night. Emily Haluska tipped a wrist shot from Mirranda Nelson to tie the game in the second period. Nelson just seconds before clanged one off the pipe before returning the rebound for Haluska's goal. Goaltender Sarah Hammess Murray was outstanding in gola for the Crunch stopping the Queens front and center on several opportunities.
