Mankato West at Chaska
7 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 30

Mankato West meets Chaska in a nonconference tuneup for the league stretch ahead.

Senior Jacob Makela tallied five goals and an assist in the Scarlets' 8-1 season-opening victory over Holy Family Catholic last Thursday. Makela is the program’s career leading scorer in his fifth year of varsity soccer, reaching that milestone halfway through his sophomore season.

Makela leads a 13-man senior class that hopes to aid West in reaching the state tournament for the first time since 2014.

Chaska suffered a 4-2 loss in its season opener to Hopkins but bounced back with a 6-1 win over Holy Family Catholic on Saturday.

The Hawks graduated 11 seniors, including Mr. Soccer finalist Jose Cholico. All-state selection Tommy Picka leads Chaska this season and looks to lead the Hawks to another victory over the Scarlets, who lost last year's regular-season game 5-4.
