Blake at Mounds View
1 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 31

Blake didn’t have much trouble in its showdown with rival Breck on Dec. 12, recording a 4-0 victory over the No. 2-1A Mustangs.

The No. 1-2A Bears (12-1-1, 2-0) will get a test of a different kind when they meet No. 15-2A Mounds View.

Carly Bullock (24-10-34) continues to have a sensational year for Blake, while Sylvie Wallin (5-15-20) and CC Wallin (6-9-15) lead the defense, which has not allowed a goal in the past six games.

The Bears have only allowed 12 total goals this season behind goalie Olivia Bizal, who has piled up seven shutouts and a 9-0-0 record to go with a 0.22 goals-against average and .985 save percentage.

The Mustangs (6-3-2, 5-2-1) have challenged several top 10-ranked teams this season, with a 3-2 overtime loss to No. 3-2A Wayzata and a 1-1 tie with No. 9-2A Cretin-Derham Hall.

Sydney Brodt (12-9-21) had a three-game scoring streak halted against the Raiders, but Rachel Anderson (8-8-16) has emerged to help shoulder the load after scoring just five goals last year.

Mounds View goalie Teagan Johnson has a 1.62 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage with two shutouts.
