Hutchinson vs. Orono
7 p.m., Friday, Dec. 9

Senior defender Ellie Larson (4-5-9) and senior forward Addie Roling (6-2-8) lead Hutchinson into Friday's matchup with Wright County Conference and Class 1A, Section 2 rival Orono.

The Tigers (4-1) begin league play this week, with a game against Litchfield/Dassel-Cokato on Tuesday, and they'll be facing a Spartans squad looking to rebound after back-to-back losses to No. 12-2A Chaska/Chanhassen and No. 7-1A New Prague last week.

Orono (2-3, 0-1) may have answer for Hutchinson's scoring duo in senior goaltender Madeline Carlson, who has a .935 save percentage while logging all of the minutes this season.

The teams split the series last season, with Orono taking the first meeting 2-1 and the Tigers winning the second 2-1.
