The Minnesota Top 25 girls hockey statewide rankings entering the section tournaments look like how they began in November: With Class 2A state champion Hill-Murray in the No. 1 spot.

The Pioneers reclaimed the No. 1 position after beating previously top-ranked Centennial/Spring Lake Park 4-3 on Saturday, Jan. 31, at Centennial Sports Arena. Centennial/Spring Lake Park and Holy Family had situated themselves atop a stacked top 25 since Holy Family beat Hill-Murray in early December.

Trailing 2-0 against Centennial/Spring Lake Park, Hill-Murray piled in four third-period goals, including two from junior forward Emily Pohl in the game’s final three minutes.

Pohl, a Wisconsin commit and U18 Women’s World Championship gold medalist, has played far more of a creative role this season, with 12 goals and 32 assists. Meanwhile, sister Anna Pohl, a freshman, has taken on the mantle of being the team’s leading goal scorer with 27 goals and 19 assists.

2. Centennial/Spring Lake Park (21-3-1) Previous: No. 1

Ahead of the loss to the Pioneers, Centennial/Spring Lake Park took down Anoka 8-0 with a hat trick from freshman forward Jozie Kelzenberg.

3. Holy Family (22-3) Previous: No. 3

The Fire ended the regular season with two solid wins over Class 1A opponents: a 5-2 victory over Proctor/Hermantown, fueled by two goals from senior forward Maddy Kimbrel (Wisconsin), and a 4-1 triumph over Gentry Academy that included a pair of goals from sophomore forward Allie DeFauw.

4. Minnetonka (18-2-5) Previous: No. 4

Sophomore forward Kennedy Hochbaum had a hat trick in an 8-0 win over Blaine and netted another goal in the Skippers’ 5-0 victory over Maple Grove.

5. Edina (18-4-3) Previous: No. 5

The Hornets recorded a 3-0 win over section foe Wayzata. They will both need to make it to the Class 2A, Section 6 championship game if they want a rematch.

6. Breck (1A, 23-1-1) Previous: No. 6

The Mustangs ended the regular season showing they had the chops to take down defending Class 1A champion Dodge County. Sophomore forward Taylor Hall scored twice off assists from sophomore forward Ashley Babbitt, and freshman goaltender Clara Milinkovich tallied 21 saves in her shutout.

7. Woodbury (24-0-1) Previous: No. 8

The Royals are the only team to finish the regular season without a loss, capped by a 4-1 victory over River Cities. Their only tie came way back in early November against Stillwater. Otherwise, perfect.

8. Warroad (1A, 19-5-1) Previous: No. 7

The Warriors picked up a 4-2 win over rival Roseau and a 10-1 victory against Rock Ridge but suffered an uncharacteristically lopsided 7-1 loss to Moorhead. The Warriors hadn’t conceded more than four goals in a game this season, and they did that only once, against Holy Family.

9. Benilde-St. Margaret’s (15-9-1) Previous: No. 9

The Red Knights couldn’t find the back of the net against Hill-Murray but powered past Blake 4-1 thanks to a hat trick from junior forward Talla Hansen (Minnesota).

The Wildcats had already locked down the No. 1 seed in the Class 1A, Section 1 tournament before their loss to Breck and a 4-0 win over Holy Angels.

13. Wayzata (17-6-1) Previous: 13

Not only did senior goaltender Kylie Jaksha put up a 27-save shutout in the Trojans’ 2-0 win over Eden Prairie, but she also was also credited with the assist on freshman forward Lexi Morris’ go-ahead goal in the second period.

Before dropping their game against Holy Family, the Mirage beat Superior (Wis.) 4-0 and Gentry Academy 3-0, with a hat trick from senior forward Mya Gunderson in the latter game. Not a bad way to hit 100 career points for Gunderson.

15. Alexandria (18-5-1) Previous: 23

17. Farmington (20-4-1) Previous: No. 16

Three third-period goals pushed the Tigers past Prior Lake 4-1, and Lexi Giller’s goal stood as the difference in a 2-0 win over Apple Valley before Farmington sealed the game with an empty netter.
