The Lumberjacks continued their week long run of area 7AA opponents, with a 4-2 victory over the Proctor/Hermantown/Marshall Mirage at the CARC, January 24, 2011. The 'Jacks got down 1-0 just 20 seconds into the game, when the Mirage's Reilly Fawcett beat Lumberjack goaltender Katie Beckman. The 'Jacks tied the game just 3 minutes later when Kara Cresap tipped a Kaitlyn Miller shot past Mirage goaltender Anja Morris.

Cloquet took a 2-1 lead in the period, on a Caityn Lilly breakaway goal over Morris' glove side shoulder. The second period was scoreless, mostly thanks to the 'Jacks Beckman holding strong during a flurry of action in her zone.

The third period went scoreless the first 9:46, until Carley Esse carried the puck deep into the zone and buried a wrist shot under the cross bar for a 3-1 Cloquet lead. PHM's Justina Lindberg cut the lead to 1 goal at 12:49, but Lilly scored again, burying a rebound of an Emily Gustafson into an open net before Morris could recover.
