  • These two teams did not face one another last season.  This will be an exciting game to watch because anything can be expected.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

  • Rolando Barclay (Hopkins): Barclay is averaging 4 shots on net a game and has already found the back of the net twice this year. Look for senior forward to make a huge impact on this game.
  • Luke VonEschen (St. Louis Park): If you want to watch a pure scorer, VonEschen is the kid to watch. The sophomore midfielder has a 6th sense for the back of the net and will be seen all over the field Monday night.
