Lakeville South at Minnetonka
1 p.m., Saturday, April 15

Lakeville South graduated eight seniors from last year’s team that finished with a 14-5 record and claimed the state consolation championship. 

Midfielder Abby Schaefer, a 2016 third-team all-state selection, tallied 38 goals and three assists last season for the Cougars and is their top returning scorer. Ellie Lauderdale (17-4-21) will be tapped to provide leadership on defense in front of sophomore goalkeeper Amanda Ziemkowski, who will be in her second year as a starter.

Minnetonka’s standout runner, Savannah Bhojwani, will lead the Skippers in her final high school campaign along with fellow seniors Anna Mott and Anna DiFrancesco. Minnetonka returns 14 players from last year’s team that went 10-6. 

Saturday will be the first time these teams have played in over a decade.
