White Bear Lake at Benilde-St. Margaret's
8 p.m., Friday, May 2

White Bear Lake needed overtime to slip past arch rival Mahtomedi 7-6 on Saturday in the “Battle of the Lake.” This matchup against the Red Knights isn’t a rivalry at that level, or much of a rivalry at all. But it is an intriguing game nonetheless, as it provides a gauge to the strength of a White Bear Lake team that lost several standouts from last year’s state tournament squad and doesn’t get many opportunities to roam outside the Suburban East Conference. Shane Olsen and Connar Dehnert, with five goals each, are the Bears’ early scoring leaders. The Red Knights’ Michael Lamb, a senior attackman, ranks fifth in the state in goals with 12 and second in points with 20.
