The Hilltoppers make their way down to the south metro to face off against a few teams before returning to the snowy confines of northeastern Minnesota. Holy Angels hopes to make some noise after a strong season a year ago.  

Duluth Marshall's attack is led by forwards senior Danica Mark (1-1-2) and junior Ilsa Lindaman (1-1-2), and they are hoping sophomore Nina Thorson (1-0-1) can emerge as another scoring threat. On defense, the Hilltoppers will rely on juniors Eva Etter (0-2-2) and Avery Lian (0-1-1) to neutralize the Stars' offense. At goaltender, sophomore Ray Anderson and junior Chloe Clark have split starts this season.

Holy Angels is coming off a 6-1 win over Robbinsdale Armstrong/Cooper on Wednesday. Leading the charge at forward for the Stars are juniors Audrey Garton (Minnesota State commit, 2-1-3), Bella LaMere (1-2-3), and Emilie Anderson (1-1-2).

Sophomore Marissa Jung, who had two goals in Wednesday's win, is showing promise. On defense, sophomores Harper Poehling (0-1-1) and Berit Loichle (0-1-1) have poise beyond their years. At goaltender, sophomore Zoe Rimstad is the likely starter against the Hilltoppers.
