Gach Gach picked up his second straight shutout in net for the Packers (2-1 overall, 1-1 Big Nine) as he stopped all five of the shots he saw.
Austin scored its lone goal late in the first half when Levi Vierkandt scored.
“Winona usually gives us some pretty good competition,” Austin head coach Jens Levisen said. “We knew they’d be a solid team and the kids came out hard. We had stints where we moved the ball well and other stints where we were on our heels.”
The Packers will play at Faribault Thursday at 7 p.m.
“We need to keep figuring out how to move forward and how to move better,” Levisen said.
