Warroad visits Thief River Falls in a contest that will impact the Greater Minnesota Conference standings, the Class 1A rankings and Section 8 seeding.
Warroad is one of Class 1A's best defensive teams, allowing less than one goal per game. The No. 1-1A Warriors (11-0, 3-0) also have a powerful offense that averages more than four goals per games and has helped them outscore opponents 51-7 through 11 games. Junior forward Hannah Corneliusen boasts a team-best 17 goals in just 11 games.
With conference and section implications on the line Tuesday, the Prowlers have some motivation after losing 2-1 to section rival East Grand Forks last Thursday.
Offense will likely be key for Thief River Falls to upset Warroad, and the No. 6-1A Prowlers (10-3, 2-2) possess the firepower to keep pace with the Warriors. Thief River Falls averages more than four goals per game, led by 16 from sophomore forward Shelby Breiland.
