After a strong start to the season, Robbinsdale Armstrong has lost two of its last three games but remains in the hunt for the Northwest Suburban Conference crown. The Falcons (6-3, 6-2) are third in the league standings behind Coon Rapids and Champlin Park, with games against both teams remaining on the schedule. 

Robbinsdale Armstrong's high-scoring senior forwards Hayley Holdahl (35 goals) and Amy Master (20) will be key as the Falcons try to swoop down on the Cardinals and Rebels. 

Coon Rapids (7-1, 7-0) has climbed to the top of conference, propelled by a wealth of experience. Seniors man several key positions for the Cardinals, including forward Heidi Hannula (21 goals, 19 assists, 40 points) and goaltender Jessica Lawrence, who boasts the state's fourth-best save percentage (.632). 

Holding off the Falcons will be important as the Cardinals attempt to secure the league title, making this our Top Game of the Week.
