The Lumberjacks lost to Section (and Lake Superior Conference) rival Proctor/Hermantown/Marshall Mirage 4-2 in Hermantown, December 9, 2010. The 'Jacks got off to a great start, getting 2 goals from Kelly Carlson, the first with under 3 minutes left in the first period, then her second just 22 seconds into the second period. At 9:02 of the second period, PHM's Sam Nelson scored, cutting the lead to 2-1, then 2:40 later she scored again to tie the game at 2.

The deadlock continued until 13:02 of the third period, when Mirage's Niki Mathews scored the game winning goal. The 'Jacks had chances to score with goaltender Alyssa Acheson pulled for an extra skater, but couldn't get the puck in the net. An empty net goal for PHM, scored by Emy Albert, with 3 seconds left finished the scoring for PHM. Acheson stopped 29 of 33 shots she faced, while Anja Morris stopped 26 of 28 for the win.
