New Prague at Mound Westonka
7 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 5

New Prague kicks off a big week of games with a trip to Mound Westonka, a matchup in which the No. 1 seed for the Class 1A, Section 2 playoffs is possibly at stake.

The No. 8-1A White Hawks and No. 7-1A Trojans (9-6-1, 2-1) have a 2-0 record against section opponents this season while No. 13-1A New Ulm is 4-0. 

Mound Westonka (10-3-1, 2-0) comes into the meeting white-hot with a six-game winning streak that includes a 2-1 win over No. 6-1A Proctor/Hermantown on Dec. 18.

White Hawks junior forward Liz Schepers (17-14-31) has been a big reason for the recent run, amassing 12 goals and six assists in the past six games.

Junior goalie Emma Polusny (10-3-1, 1.62, .943) has four shutouts and six games with 30 or more saves this season.
