Benilde-St. Margaret’s at Blake
6 p.m., Wednesday, May 7
MN Lax Hub Spotlight Game

Another matchup of unbeaten teams, this game has an added twist in that it is a rematch of last season’s Section 6 championship won 9-8 by Blake. After surviving that scare the Bears went on to win a fourth straight state championship. Blake is again ranked No. 1 in the state and off to a 6-0 start, with each of those wins coming by seven or more goals. Junior Olivia Nolan is the Bears’ scoring leader with 25 goals, just ahead of seniors Anne Slusser (21 goals) and Lydia Sutton (20). Benilde-St. Margaret’s might have the best goalie in the state in sophomore Anna DeGuilo (.655 save percentage, 3.57 goals-against average). The Red Knights most certainly feature one of the state’s top athletes in Kelly Pannek (14 goals), a first-year lacrosse player who is also an exceptional soccer and hockey player.
