Prior Lake vs. Edina
8 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 29

Edina, which is ranked No. 3 in the Class 2A coaches' preseason poll, takes on No. 6-2A Prior Lake, providing an early season top-10 showdown. To add to the stakes, Prior Lake was knocked out of last year’s Class 2A, Section 2 tournament by Edina in a 2-1 loss in the semifinals. The Lakers will be looking for some early season revenge against a highly ranked foe. 

The Lakers (1-0) started the season on the right foot, defeating Bloomington Jefferson 4-1 in their opener on Saturday. Senior Daniel Wee, who finished last season second in scoring for the Lakers with five goals and three assists, returns.

The Hornets (1-0-1), however, were not perfect to start their season. They played to a 1-1 draw against Minneapolis Washburn last Thursday but rebounded with a 2-1 victory against Breck on Saturday. 

There is a silver lining for Edina, however, with the Hornets returning Matt Lindberg, a senior who led his team offensively with 11 goals and seven assists a year ago.
