It's an all-Northwest Suburban Conference showdown between two programs that know each other well.  

Osseo/Park Center is coming off a 0-0 tie against Bemidji. They are led at forward by seniors Reanna Cruz (5 goals, 6 assists, 11 points) and Maggie Albers (5-6-11), as well as junior Grace Armstrong (6-5-11) and eighth-grader Gabby Edlund (5-7-12), carry a lot of the scoring load. 

However, the real catalyst for Osseo/Park Center runs through senior defense Hailey Eikos (17-9-26) and Tessa Strand (5-6-11), who log a lot of minutes and do what they can to dictate the pace of play.  

At goaltender, senior Claire Schmaltz (.915 save percentage, four shutouts) has been Osseo/Park Center's main option all season long.  

Elk River/Zimmerman is coming off a 4-1 victory over Hibbing/Chisholm. The Elks' attack is led by seniors Julia Wilson (5-5-10) and Andi Huselid (5-3-8), as well as sophomore Abby Hansberger (1-6-7). Scoring has been a challenge for Elk River/Zimmerman, especially on the power play, where they've only found the back of the net twice this season. 

On defense, juniors Carly Humphrey (5-2-7), as well as seniors Karen Balabon (0-2-2) and Sophie Seidel (0-1-1), do what they can to limit scoring chances. 

At goaltender, the Elks rotate between sophomore Abby Huselid (.914 save percentage) and junior Addi Brandt (.930 save percentage).
