No. 3 Wayzata vs. No. 2 Benilde-St. Margaret’s
Wednesday, Feb. 11, at 6 p.m. at Parade Ice Garden
The Trojans face a well-rested Benilde-St. Margaret’s team, a rematch of a 2-1 Red Knights win Nov. 25. Benilde-St. Margaret’s is No. 9 in the Minnesota Top 25, and Wayzata is No. 13, likely making for a close one.
No. 4 Bloomington Jefferson vs. No. 1 Edina
Wednesday, Feb. 11, at 8 p.m. at Parade Ice Garden
After beating Hopkins/St. Louis Park on Saturday, the Jaguars face a big test in top-seeded Edina, No. 5 in the Minnesota Top 25. The Hornets made it all the way to the state championship game last year, losing to Hill-Murray. As they look to return, this game is the first step toward that goal.
Last week: Quarterfinals
No. 3 Wayzata 6, No. 6 Armstrong/Cooper 2
Saturday, Feb. 7, at 3 p.m. at Plymouth Ice Center
Wayzata, No. 13 in Strib Varsity’s Minnesota Top 25, missed out on a first-round bye, and the Trojans dominated the Wings to move on to the semifinals. Senior Julia Ostapeic scored three goals and tallied one assist to lead the Trojans, who also got goals from sophomore Christie Russo, senior Vanessa Swensson and junior Reagan Williams. Wings sophomore Maddie Wahl scored on the power play in the second period to make it 2-1, but a few minutes later, Ostapeic scored twice within a 30-second span. Armstrong/Cooper senior Bri LeVoir scored later in the second period, but Swensson’s goal in the final minute of the period and Williams’ third-period goal put it away.
No. 4 Bloomington Jefferson 2, No. 5 Hopkins/St. Louis Park 1
Saturday, Feb. 7, at 6 p.m. at Bloomington Ice Garden
Bloomington Jefferson won 5-4 when the teams met in the regular season, and the Jaguars capitalized on their home-ice advantage again. Junior Kaleena Walsh scored in the second period to put Jefferson up 1-0, and sophomore Megan DeVos, pulled up from junior varsity, added another goal shortly into the third quarter. Hopkins/St. Louis Park junior Ella Koethe scored with less than a minute remaining in the game, but the Jaguars were able to hold off the Royals to advance to the section semifinals.
