Andover vs. Forest Lake

7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 13

Andover travels to Forest Lake on Thursday for a matchup of Class 2A, Section 7 heavyweights, with the winner scoring a confidence-boosting knockout that could be important should these teams meet in a postseason rematch.

Averaging five goals per game, Forest Lake features an offense that's challenging for blueliners and goalies to stop. Rachel Golnitz, a sophomore and Colgate University commit, leads the No. 5-2A Rangers (7-0, 5-0) with 10 goals this season.

Andover enters this week with some extra motivation after recording its first loss of the season with a 2-1 defetat to Minnetonka on Dec. 6.

Jamie Nelson, a Minnesota State Mankato commit, leads No. 1-2A Andover (8-1, 4-0) with 19 points.
