Stillwater at Prior Lake
7 p.m., Thursday, April 16

Stillwater looks primed to make a fifth consecutive trip to the state tournament after opening the season with a 16-2 victory over Edina. The Ponies feature high-scoring senior forward Carter Sanderson, who had a team-leading 53 goals last year. Stillwater balances its offensive attack with two productive midfielders in senior Remi Larson (27-5-32) and junior Carly Fedorowski (19-6-25). 

There’s no shortage of scoring power in Prior Lake’s lineup. The Lakers have their own trio of talented offensive players, led by junior forwards Aleah Fjelstad (40-14-54) and Ashley Norberg (46-20-66). Sophomore midfielder Sarah Pierson (32-6-38) can break open a game if the Ponies key on Fjelsatd and Norberg.
