Red Wing at New Prague
7:15 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 17

Red Wing returns one of the state's top players in junior forward Taylor Heise. The Minnesota commit finished with 47 goals and 84 points last season.

The No. 11-1A Wingers have Heise but are searching for additional players to step up and fill holes in the roster following the loss of second-leading scorer Abby Hardyman and several other key pieces. One possible candidate is sophomore defender Emily Hart (2-12-14), who could take a step forward this season.

New Prague (1-0) brings back its own high-flying forward in junior Catie Skaja (40-41-81), and the No. 9-1A Trojans have already scored a win over a quality opponent, knocking off No. 5-1A Proctor/Hermantown 4-1 on Nov. 12.
