A Suburban East Conference tilt takes the top spot this week, as Forest Lake, ranked No. 12 in the latest Class 2A state coaches' poll, takes on East Ridge. 

In addition to having a significant effect on the league standings, this game also features two of the top scorers in the conference, pitting Forest Lake junior forward Kayla Kasel (22-11-33) against East Ridge's Grace Heiting (21-16-37). 

In addition to Kasel, the Rangers (13-5-2, 8-3) feature senior forward Madi Nolan (8-22-30), who leads the Suburban East in assists.

Freshman goaltender Josie Bothun has impressed this season for the Rangers, posting a goals-against average of 1.63 and a save percentage of .932.  

East Ridge (13-7, 8-4) has a developing scoring threat in junior forward Brehna Walz, who has recorded four assists in her last three games. Walz leads the team with 17 helpers on the season. 

With two teams with similar resumes duking it out in conference play, this is our pick for the Top Game of the Week.
