It was a tough act to follow coming after a thrilling championship, but the third place game at the Minnesota State High School League girls state tournamentproved to be quite the nail biter.
After going into halftime with a comfortable five-goal lead, Bloomington Jefferson got all it could handle from Stillwater in the second half as it hung on for a 12-11 victory on Friday, June 10, at Chanhassen High School.
Earlier in the afternoon, Blake capped an unbeaten season by defeating Eden Prairie 11-9 for the Bears second straight state championship.
