Josie Kramer tallied one goal and an assist for the Brainerd Warriors in their 2-1 season-opening win against the Rogers Royals Thursday at Adamson Field.
Ellie Harting recorded the assist on Kramer's goal and Ally Smith scored the other Warrior goal on the dish from Kramer.
Brainerd goalkeeper Molly Rudolph collected seven saves to earn the win.
"It was two new teams and it showed," said Brainerd coach Grant Gmeinder. "It got a little frantic and messy at times but we're thankful the girls made enough plays to get a very important win."
