WILLMAR — Call them the GMO line.
That’s “G” for Madison Garberding, ““O” for Bailey Olson and M” for Mya Monson. The trio make up Willmar’s first line and have been the Cardinals’ main scoring threats for two seasons now.
On Tuesday evening at Willmar Civic Center Arena, the GMO line accounted for all of Willmar’s goals in a 5-4 non-conference victory over Delano.
Garberding, a junior who is a Brown University recruit, had two goals and an assist. Olson, also a junior, also had two goals and an assist.
Monson, a senior, had a goal and two assists. Her goal proved to be the game-winner, coming 15:49 of the third period and breaking a 4-4 tie.

Delano had tied it up at 15:24 when Mary Beth Kivisto scored on the power play.
“It was a good win,” Willmar head coach Eric Setrum said. “We overcame some penalty issues and Madison and Bailey and Mya played well. Audrey (Swart) and Tana (Christensen) did a nice job (on defense).
“Bryton (Carlson) stood out in net. ”
The Tigers (0-4) led 2-0 early, but Willmar scored the next four goals. Delano got a goal from Chloe Kuechle, her second of the game, at 10:52 of the third to cut the Tigers’ deficit to 4-3. Then came Kivisto’s goal about five minutes later to tie it.
Willmar (3-0) is host to Marshall at 7:15 p.m. Thursday.
