Blaine's state tournament experience over Eden Prairie's youth may be the difference in this one. Against Hill-Murray, Eden Prairie did not look like the confident Eagles of the regular season and Section playoffs. Xcel/state tournament/center stage nerves??

Moorhead's Logan Marks vs. Cretin-Derham Hall's Ben Walsh

Those two goalies have been a huge factor in getting their respective teams a Section championship and to the semifinal game of the state tournament. Can they do it again? It will fall more on Walsh's shoulders tonight than on Marks.
