North/Tartan vs. Grand Rapids/Greenway
3 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 28

North/Tartan has lost its last two games to Metro East Conference opponents, 6-0 to Hill-Murray and 4-1 to Hastings last week.

If North/Tartan (11-9, 3-5) wants to get back on track, the team will need big performances out of senior forward Maddie Ciolkosz (13-11-24) and sophomore forward Claire Meeder (9-11-20). Those performances will be most appreciated in the third period, where North/Tartan has outscored opponents 23-20. 

A 3-1 win over No. 4-1A Proctor/Hermantown and a 5-3 victory over Andover sets No. 19-2A Grand Rapids/Greenway up for a successful run during the game stretch of the season. 

The Lightning (15-5-2, 2-0) will continue to rely on sophomore forward and Quinnipiac commit Sadie Peart (16-23-39) and senior forward Maddy Illikainen (15-19-24) to spark the team on offense.
