Two-time defending state champion Mahtomedi could return to its familiar perch atop the Class 1A rankings with a victory over No. 1-1A Hill-Murray, which hasn't lost since its Aug. 22 season opener against Prior Lake.
The No. 2-1A Zephyrs (7-2-1, 3-0-0) lost back-to-back matches to White Bear Lake and Cretin-Derham Hall early in August but have not lost in six games since.
Zephyrs goalkeeper Megan Lisowy had her streak of three straight shutout victories snapped in a 2-1 win over Woodbury on Saturday.
The Pioneers (7-1-2, 3-0-0) are riding a nine-game unbeaten streak and are coming off Thursday's 2-0 defeat of No. 7-1A Blake.
Hill-Murray beat Mahtomedi 2-0 in last year’s regular-season matchup between the Metro East Conference rivals.
