Minnehaha Academy at DeLaSalle
11 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 24
Two postseason dark horses clash in a matchup that could have seeding implications in a deep Class 1A, Section 5.
Minnehaha Academy (5-3, 1-2) defeated DeLaSalle 4-3 a year ago, and the Redbirds hope for a similar outcome behind a repeat performance from Matthew Gibbons, who tallied one goal and two assist against the victory over the Islanders.
It's a safe be DeLaSalle will focus on holding Gibbons in check. The senior leads Minnehaha Academy with three goals and three assists this season.
DeLaSalle tied No. 1-1A Orono 2-2 on Sept. 3 and a victory against a solid Redhawks team could propel the Islanders into the Class 1A Top 10.
Freshman Eric Contreras leads the team (5-1-1, 1-0) with six goals and an assist.
