Stillwater hasn't lost in Suburban East Conference play since 2014, but that could change when the Ponies play at Park of Cottage Grove on Wednesday.
Stillwater has been firing on all cylinders since a heartbreaking 8-7 loss to Prior Lake on April 21, winning its last four games by a combined score of 64-12.
Ranked No. 3 in the latest coaches' poll, the Ponies seem primed to make a run at a sixth consecutive state tournament appearance behind an offense led by senior midfielder Carly Fedorowski (22-3-25).
The Wolfpack (5-2, 3-1) ended last season with a 15-2 loss to Stillwater in the Section 4 finals, but Park possesses an improved defense this year, one that has allowed double-digit goals only twice this season, and it could be just what the Wolfpack need stymie the Ponies' dynamic attack
Featuring contrasting styles of play and the weight of extending a long winning streak, this matchup is our pick for the Top Game of the Week.
