going to try and score and she is in s coming around and set a goal touchdown record. [Applause] Hello everyone and welcome to Spring Lake Park High School for CTN's coverage
of the section 7 girls lacrosse tournament. In the first round, the SLPCR squad seated number eight welcomed the Duth Marshall Hill Toppers. Joe Young, Howie Shapiro up above the action and Howie a solid season for the team in
its first year as a co-op. Yeah, it really has been and the fact that they got a home playoff game I know they're all excited about. So that that's great to see and and an opportunity to uh to play against the number one seed. Whoever wins this one will play Chicago Lake. So so this this game is you know is going to be fun. I think two evenly
matched squads and uh the winner gets uh gets a monumental task at the end. Duth Marshall finishes with a slightly better record albeit against slightly softer competition. They did play the Blaine Bengals early in the season. Lost that
game 18 to1. They are coming off a couple of losses to finish their regular season at five and five. The Spring Lake Park squad finished with a win over AIO Park Center by an 11-10 score to finish their season at
4-9. And they're hoping they can keep that season alive at least one more time on the field on Thursday as you mentioned against number one Chicago Lakes. And with the first faceoff, we are just about underway. And uh the winner moves
on. The winner season is over. Duth Marshall took a long road trip to get here. They're hoping it'll be a happy ride home. Yeah, they they come in a little banged up, Joe. Coach Ran told me that, you know, they've got a had a couple of girls that were question marks
coming into this one, but uh they're they're going to be able to throw as many healthy girls out there and see if they can advance. Spring Lake Park able to get the opening possession and working with it. Down low is Alli
Edwards passes up top and a stick infraction will reset as Lori tried to cut through the defense. She will get the free position. We'll take it right at the keeper ran
and just lost the handle as she went to shoot behind momentarily secured by the Hill Toppers but then fumbled up and recovered by Edwards. SLPCR back on the attack. Wigan plays it back behind. Good
passing out front. The shot o over the top for Payton Scandrit, but gray jerseys are bound behind the net. So they maintain possession. Edwards looking has time. Not feeling a
lot of pressure. Spring Lake Park will work it back to the near side. And I know the key for the Hill Toppers will be trying to defend that that middle part of the field and they know that Rapids has some scores on their I'm sorry SLPCR has some scores on their squad. Edwards sees
the seas part goes in a shot turned away by Anna Ron and she will get possession to get her team. Oh, they say it is. Oh, it said it was a goal.
Oh, they're going to they're going to give the uh the home team the goal. You know, interesting story about Anna Ran, Joe. Anna is her her her favorite sport is baseball. She played for the boys baseball team. Let's take another look at this. Oh, it did bounce in behind her. Yep.
So, that's they give that one to Edwards. That's her 23rd goal of the season. Anyway, so her favorite sport is baseball. She was she was the catcher on the boys baseball team and uh her parents who co- coached this team told her, "We need we need you in goal this
year." And she came out and played lacrosse. She's got a lacrosse background as well. In fact, she's going to stout next year to play lacrosse. Just a heads up play for Ally Edwards again that the seas just really parted and left her a big hole. She took
it and apparently did bounce it past Ran. Looked as if Ran had I thought she stopped it up and and caught it before it went in, but feels a long way away. Howie, yes, the older we get, the longer it is. SLPCR
right back on the attack. An offensive infraction. You can't just run over defenders in the middle. Nope. So they will leave it off and the Hill Toppers an opportunity to try and possess. Ran gets it ahead for
Eloone. And now near side, Nina Thorson will move it along. Chardelli in the middle. A shot and a goal. And just like that, the Hill Toppers answer. Siri
Chardelli. taking it on her own shoulders to tie this one up. Little less than a minute. Yeah, Jelly does a nice job of splitting the defense and then scoring the goal. That is goal number 12 on the season for her.
Hill Toppers really not any possession time in the offensive end. That was their first charge downfield and Chardelli saw her opening found it even the score off the face off though. Elo Ron
controls defense collapses but the whistle blows. Rowan another opportunity trying to bang her way through a couple of different bodies. Whistle sounds again. This pass played ahead. Working straight through the
middle was Sarah Stabber. And now we'll retreat to the top. Look for an angle. Run right at the net. Scores. Not sure what they called there. Did they wave that off? They did.
Infraction. Yeah. offside maybe you're oh quick turnover Hill Toppers right back on the attack of Burroughs tried to leave it off for
Stabber it was fumbled Chardelli trying to scoop and does Chardelli attacking right down the middle finds her way in and that save made to look easy and then a turnover again but last couple of throws
downfield for SLPCR have turn been turnovers giving the Hill Toppers opportunity. That was the one that clearly got behind Raw Maker, but something was a miss. Chardelli, the free open position, will come in, bounce
it home, and she's got her second. Hill Toppers in front by a two-1 lead. Yeah, nice job by the the Hill Toppers to react to the opening goal by SLPCR with a couple of their own now take this lead here on the road.
We're starting to get a few more fans here today. It's a rainy Tuesday evening. Drizzly drizzly. Let's not get too too dramatic here. Well, I didn't say it was pouring. It's a torrential downpour here.
It's a little damp. It is damp. It is umbrella weather. However, loose ball scooped up by Nina Thorson. Played ahead and Stalbert her pass taken away. SLPCR back the other
way. Maida long run down the near sideline trying to stay away from Thorson. Find a way around her. Will retreat behind the net. Wigan and Mida play catch on the near side
back behind for Edwards. She's the goal scorer. She'll work her way up top out front. Shot and a goal. A pair for Edwards. A pair for Chardelli in between. And we are tied at
two. Yeah, you know, again, we talked about the the fact these are fairly even teams, evenly matched teams, so it's I'm not surprised they've traded a couple of goals here early on, but just a nice nice job here just to weave through the defense. He gets a nice look at the net.
Not much Anna Ron could do about it. just about midway through the first period. Well, and and his younger sister, Ella, who also plays on this team, just a sophomore. She's the second leading scoreer. And I' I've heard that they have a younger sister who's going to be
the best of the three. Toba so bad. I apologize to the Ron ahead of time. Oh, I just couldn't resist. Well, I thought according to the scoring on the hub, Elone actually leading the team on the hub, but it looked like they
they may not be complete. Might be by points. Yeah. Okay. So, she's she is the way they did it. They just did it by goals. Yeah, she has 18 points. Second in goals. Second in goals. Correct. Thorson weaving her way inside. It's
dislodged from her cross, but illegally so. [Applause] SLPCR trying to move up field. It's nearly picked from the pocket of Erica Maida from behind. She's able to stay with it. Scoop it up. And now a little
breathing room in the corner. Katie Wigan down low to Scandre. And behind is Edwards. Edward's going to keep doing this as long as they keep giving her the room. Her pass though to Wigan was intercepted. Back the other way goes
Sarah Stabber. Long pass for Chardelli is disrupted. Scooped up for by Emily Boris. She's got room. She's just going to run right at the defense. She's bumped off of it and a bubble violation.
So a free position on a great spot. Boris will take it right at the net. Shoot low and score. And SLPCR back in front by a 3-2 score. Just under five minutes to go
with the first period. That's uh Emily Bourne's first goal of the season. Good time to come in the second play. Gives your team the 3-2 lead. And again, just a great position. It's tough to miss from in that spot. 3-2 lead
for the Panthers in a do or die game. Starting the section seven tournament at home. The number eight seed hosting the number nine. Number nine. Number nine. Number nine. Off the
faceoff, it's Eloone getting to it and she'll go on the attack. Can't find her way through the defense. We'll give it back up to Thorson. Thorson back down low turning and shooting. In close was a Burroughs, but a big stop by
Rowmaker. Yeah, Rowmaker able to get a piece of it. Long pass ahead. Scooped up on the hop by Wigan. Wigan long run down the middle. Look left side for Edwards. That was taken away. Strong stick play by Mia
Musel. [Applause] SLPCR able to get the steal right back. And then a little bit of a body check, but the play continues. Another stick infraction.
Panthers continue to bring the pressure. Would like to see a two or even three goal lead if possible. Yes, they would certainly like to open it up. Free position from a tough angle and Taking it behind is Grace Schmidt.
Schmidt the leading scorer for Spring Lake Park by far in terms of goals. 33 goals on the season. One of the senior captains. I know she's going to play next year. I don't remember where, but I did talk to her
preseason and she's had a solid year leading this again first year co-op. Yeah. 38 points on the season. [Music] And when they've had possession in the
attacking end, SLPCR really hasn't had a ton of pressure on the ball. So, they've had time to look. Still, the the the pass didn't click and Marshall quickly on the attack. Jardelli runs right into Clarit
Shimabukoru and I I don't see how that's the defender's fault. How's that a penalty on the defense? Standing your position. The Chardelli is going to get the charge. Chardelli is going to get the free position.
Great opportunity to complete her hat-tick. Fanned on the shot. Able to scoop it right back up. Get it to Sarah Stabber and cross for Thorson in the middle. Rowan. Hill toppers will work the top of
the box. We haven't seen him again with a with a lot of possession time. Thorson weaving through. Didn't get much on the shot. Able to recover it herself. She has speed. Pass out front. Ran goes low. Big stop for Row Maker.
She's got speed too in the middle. Thorson does [Applause] Spring Lake Park with numbers on the attack. Shot handled by the keeper Anna Rone. Quick outlet to Eloone. I think they
practiced that a few times between sisters. Dober trying to find some room. Attacking right through the middle and ball knocked free but bubble violation and we'll have a
free position for Stalber. Just fighting in in between a couple of defenders. That's where the contact was. Stabber races in, shoots over the shoulder of Roma Maker and evens the
score with just 33 seconds to go in this first period. Sarah, that's goal number 17 for Stabber. She's the now tied for the amount of with the
leading points on this team. her team leading 17th goal. Yep. There you see the according to the hub. The drizzle. The dampness. The dampness though. Little chilly. It's a little chilly. The moisture in our air. Yes. Well, we're
going to we're in store for some nice weather here in the next few days. to be peachy. Peachy hit it. It is pass a little too tall. Recovered by Schmidt. Schmidt gets around a bump. pass into the middle, but the shot by
Mettis was over the top out the end line and good positioning. That was good defense there because she had a really nice shot in close. Edwards not able to find her way inside this time. It's taken away by
McGiffford. And that'll take us to the end of the first period. It was an eventful one. We've gone back and forth. We end tied at three apiece. You're watching girls lacrosse section 7 playoffs on CTN.

School. Duth Marshall head coach Jennifer Ran. Yeah, nice conversation with her this afternoon. Her team coming down despite having the better record, making the long road trip, trying to make it worth it and
prove the that the Cedars got it wrong. Sam Hasbrook, head coach for the SLPCR squad as well. As you saw there, she's trying to be able to get her team to advance to Thursday against Shaka Lake.
Both SLPCR lacrosse teams able to qualify for a home playoff game to get things started. Both the number eight seed taking on a number nine. But in some ways better to to have that than to start as the number seven seed against a
number three per se or number two. Now you get a chance to get a win before you have to take on one of the big dogs. Long run for Olivia Lori. Looked for Edwards and immediately drew the double team as she cut through
the [Music] middle. Wigan behind the net. Work it up top. The pass into the middle trying to get it. Tidis was disrupted. Stubborn.
Stubborn. You can see. I mean, she's big, strong girl. Yep. She's got the the the size advantage. She does. But she waits for two players to come and surround her. She has nowhere to go. There's not really anything she can do, but you know, it's slightly different sport. You're not
able to bang bodies quite the way you can in the uh boys lacrosse game. Free position for Lori. No room to get inside. Gives it up to Mittis. Mittis can't find her way through. Able to recover after she
dropped it. Mori spins away from pressure. Musel surprised her a little bit there. She turned around. You know, we saw a lot of that in that first quarter. A lot of possession down in the
uh Hill Topper end. You don't give up a lot of goals if you're holding the ball in your offensive end a lot. Correct. Nina Thorset. Long pass ahead. Didn't click. Will roll in on Row Maker.
and she just quickly fires it the other way. Wigan there to accept, gets past Stubber, runs into a couple of other defenders and then runs over a defender and again you can't quite bang bodies the way you can in the boys game. You
like to Katie Wigan a also a senior captain. I got her cross up a little bit high as well from the Rapids side of things and I believe she said she is also playing next year.
Love to see that. Hill Toppers able to gain possession. Pass to the interior was taken away beautifully though and SLPCR on the run again. Too tall for Wigan. Bounces
through though to Edwards. Edwards runs right at the defense. went to set up behind and the whistle sounds. So, she'll get a free position. Shot high. The save was made by Ran, but Edwards able to collect her own rebound.
Gets around Thorson. Kylie Der looking for room. Can't find it. Will back out. We'll try again. Shoots around Chardelli, but a good save by Ran. And now she has an opportunity to try and clear. Yeah. And she didn't get much on
that shot either. Just bounced it right to Rowan. Kylie Edwards gives it off to Schmidt behind the net. Now Ally Edwards has to recollect.
Schmidt up top. Surveying looking for a passing lane into the middle. Finds it. The shot misses wide for Der. That's a PCR all over the back line. They'll maintain possession. was that
uh again she's you're not happy. She's not happy about the uh the shot selection there. She knew she had a better opportunity. Lori will set up on the left side. Lot of room. Passes into the
middle. The catch and shot by Mittis. misses and out the end line. But yeah, she got I think she got Edwards was back there. She got a little too anxious. She was right there. She just put a little too much on it. Take another look. Good a good find in the middle, but just a little bit too much. I think she got a
little contact too on a on a cross to her hand as well. Lori charges through the middle, scoops up the 50/50 ball, then lost it on her way back to the net. This one's recollected by Sarah Stabber who turns it around for the Hill Toppers. Near
midfield, Adah Burroughs able to gain possession and turn on the Jets. She's got three defenders in front of her. Cuts back to her left, fires high and well over the top and way out, but the whistle sounded. So, the Hill Toppers will get a
free position. So far, no, no one has been able to score here in quarter number two, but a great opportunity for Burroughs right away fires it, misses wide, but good positioning by Elarone.
Make sure the Hill Toppers maintain possession. Time out. 522 to go in the second quarter. Not a lot of bench depth for the Hill Toppers.
Think they may only have one. Well, when you come down in two Honda Civics. Well, well, yeah. Well, you know, you just cram everybody in and stop at the Hardies on the way through. Well, I hope for their sake they got to stop at Toby's or they get to stop at
Toby's on the way home because that should be a stop. Anytime you're between the Twin Cities and Duth, yes, it's almost exactly halfway in some of the So good. Best cinnamon and caramel rolls
you will find. Yes. Joe's doing a a free ad for Tobies. Come on down. Now, if Toby's Now, if Toby's could just send me some free food, uh, caramel rolls. I I prefer them with nuts. Making myself hungry. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm
one uh Sand's nuts. I'm not a big guy. I don't like the nuts on the caramel rolls. Peacon pie. Not a fan of peacon pie. Cinnamon rolls are just as good. Oh, they're so good. They're very, very tasty. You got to stop. Okay, back to lacrosse.
Call We have to call Uber Eats him delivered to the booth. Uh instead of doing the boys lacrosse game, Joe and Howie have left along with the girls lacrosse team so that they could stop at Toby's on the way back to they got on the bus and they're fi find
their own way back. Just get me to the toies. So 3-3. We had a game go back and forth. SLPCR started the scoring. Less than a minute later, Duth Marshals evened it. They would then take the 2-1 lead only to see Spring Lake Park Rapids score the
next two and lead 3-2. And then a goal with 33 seconds left in that first period for Duth Marshall got us even at three. Both teams have had decent looks here in the second, but no one has been able to cash in. The Hill Toppers will
start out of the timeout with that possession. Good effort, good spin. Second chance gets the goal for Emma Johnson. And that was all individual effort coming from behind the net. Yeah, Emma Johnson did a really nice job of uh getting the rebound after her initial
shot and she's able to stay with it and then put it past to give the Hill Toppers the lead. Can you get a nice move to the inside? There's the rebound. She's able to get it back and throw it in the back of the net. Raw Maker with a solid stop on the initial effort,
but the rebound unfortunately rolled right back to Johnson and she was able to cash in. It's goal number four for Johnson on the season. SOPCR awarded the ball after a Infraction on the draw setting up
behind. It's Grace Schmidt. Pass up top is broken up and here goes Thorson. Talked about her before in the speed she's shown. End to end right on the attack.
Ripped it off the post. Recovered by Chardelli. Chardelli, two goals in that first period and she is denied as she tries to find the middle.
[Music] Shimab Bukakoru downfield moves it right side. Pass into the middle. Quick shot for Wigan was over the top. Spring Lake Park in position there. The ref's kind of looking back and forth
though. We have a yellow card. We do. That could be a Katy Wigot. I believe it is on the follow through. Good pressure coming from Payton Scandrit. Forces it free from Ran. Still
loose. Goes off the back of the net. Now collected by Emma Johnson. Hands it off to Ran. And Sandra will continue to pressure now. Long pass gets it up to Eva
Drevnik. And here comes Thorson again. Speed right through the defense. This time she slips it past the keeper, gets her first of the game and puts her team up five to three with 319 to go in the half. Yeah, again that speed just allowed her get get through and around
the defense and just a nice shot as she's able to collect her 14th goal of the season. First time either team has been able to get a separator goal. see if they can continue the momentum or if Spring Lake Park can find a way to
stop it and get this one back to even before the break. [Music] Or able to jump on the loose ball off the draw then get the whistle. Now with possession, he'll shy away
from Musel. Get it near side. Scandered back to Eastston up top for Lori. Now, we saw a lot of that possession down in the Hill Topper Ed earlier, but Marshall doing a good job of of really collecting themselves and putting
a lot of pressure down in the SLPCR end, hence a twogoal lead. Li into the middle. Scandit was bumped off of it. Able to recollect works her way down the right
side. Short angle shot snared by Ran. immediately gets it to Thorson. Moves it along and Hill toppers quickly to the other end. Chartelli looking for room to
shoot. That one is denied by Row Maker. Yeah, Rowmaker just did a really nice job of staying with it. They had a little speed on it and she was able to get it in her cross. Scandid down the right side. Der turns. Can't get it through. Another
chance is a goal for Caitlyn Eastston. Yeah, nice job. Good spot out front for East. Caitlyn. [Music] Goal number four. That'll cut the lead to 54 with a minute
45 remaining in the half. Yeah, just good pressure in the middle. Off the turnound shot. The rebound went right to East. Going to the hole where goal scorers go. That's right.
145 to go in the half. Back to a one-point difference. Schmidt against Rowan. Schmidt able to win it clean. Thorson there to defend gets it to East.
East into the middle. Edwards couldn't quite handle it. It's swept away from her, but SOPCR able to gain control quickly. Eastston to Edwards back into the middle. She's bumped. Whistle sounds. She'll get a free position as both
Edwards and McGiffford went to the ground. There you get the push kind of like a pinball. Good spot here. Alli Edwards had two goals in the first period. First two goals of the game for
SLPCR. That shot hit a post partially deflected and then off the iron. [Applause] Ball still loose, swept at Kylie Edwards able to scoop it up, but we've got a whistle for Chardelli who's slow to get
up. Another look at it. Looks like Ran got a piece of it before it found iron. Jardelli's okay. We return to action. Kylie Edwards on the run for his Spring Lake Park. Leaves it for
Der. Tried to pass into the middle. That was broken up. Back the other way comes Ran. Long pass ahead. Chardelli catches, spins, now cuts back to the middle. Jardelli trying to find room. Flips it behind her head. The save made by Row
Maker. [Music] Bump draw the whistle. Ball awarded to SLPCR. Final 15 seconds of this first half.
Will they get one more chance on goal? Long run. Pass won't click and that will take us to the buzzer and the Duth Marshall Hill Toppers will go to the half with a 54
lead. We'll take a break and be back with the second half. You're watching girls high school lacrosse section tournament action on CTF.
[Music] Howie, do you know why fish are so bad at volleyball? Because they're afraid of
the net. Why me? Why couldn't the volleyball player cross the road? There were too many bumps. Uh, why was Cinderella kicked off the team? Because she ran away from the ball. I hate
[Music] you. Back at Spring Lake Park High School, it is the first round of the section 7 girls lacrosse tournament. Panthers qualifying for a home team or home game as the number
eight seed against number nine Duth Marshall and they started it right got on the board for the goal from Alli Edwards but then a pair from Siri Chardelli put the Hill Toppers in
front and we have gone back and forth ever since. Emily Borinis with the goal off the free position that put SLPCR back in front 3-2. Then Duth scored late in the first to tie it. Scored a couple early in the
second to take a 5-3 lead and a late goal for Caitlyn Eastston to get SLPCR back within a goal. First half's gone pretty much how I thought it would. pretty close contest quite obviously against an eight and a
nine and an opportunity now in the second second half. Your season's on the line. You want to be able to play another game even though it's against the number one seated squad, but you want your you don't want your high school season to end here
tonight. And as we talk about all the time, regardless of your regular season record, when you get to this point, every team has a chance to win a state championship. Just got to get things to go their way. Scooping it up on the run
is Grace Schmidt. Schmidt, the leading scorer for the Panthers, really been pretty quiet. I don't know that she's even attempted a shot. I don't think so. Shovel attempt by Boris was denied. Ran way out of her circle to
clear that one downfield. Kylie Edwards able to come out of the pile with the ball. Get SLP back on the attack. Long shot from Wigot. Misses wide and Rowan
on the ball. Got back there and wins the possession back for her squad. Yeah, good hustle by her to make sure that she got it. Ran long pass ahead to Eloone trying to get around Castillo. Withstands a couple of cross checks and
finally the whistle blows. Almost a turnover there. Thorson resets up top with Elone and now Sarah Stubber. That one eluded the cross of Chartelli, but you saw how much time she
had to just walk over and pick it up there. Yeah, there's no resistance. No real pressure. Extended. Long shot in. Roll maker. Easy save and lobs it out. Coming back for it is Edwards
able to scoop it, but not easy to run away from Thorson. Carson has shown her jets all afternoon so far. Defends well and then chops it away from Edwards but called for the stick infraction.
Yeah, just trying to ride her defensively. And there's where she knocked the ball out of her cross but got a little contact as well. positioning infraction. Eastston gets to a good shooting spot, shoots low, gets her second of the game,
and gets us tied at five apiece. Well, she did a heck of a job creating space for herself, getting around a defender and allowing hers herself to get off that shot. You're going to see it here. Just step around the defense and bounce it past your keeper
in Anna Ron. 55 second of the game for Caitlyn Eastston. They've been consecutive. Alli Edwards had the first two for SLPCR. Siri Chardelli had the first two for Duth Marshall.
Thorson will face off against Schmidt. Good body positioning by Castillo to protect that ball. Give Schmidt an opportunity to come in and scoop it up. And she will get Spring Lake Park set up on offense.
Scooped up by Castillo. Pass out front was deflected by a couple of Hill Topper sticks. Scooped up by Thorson. Thorson's long pass intercepted and turned around by Emily Bordis. [Music]
We bumped off the play and when the whistle sounded I I thought it was I thought it was going the other way. I totally thought it was the other way. Lower his shoulder. Get the ball. Yeah, I like it. Long run for Musul.
Gets it to Chardelli in the middle. Chardelli trying to run right through the defense. sends it down low. Turnaround shot for Burroughs. Went wide. Chardelli able to recover along the end
line. Just a look from inside but not going to be on target. [Music] Burroughs tried to spin back and shoot short side. Missed wide.
Scooped up by Romaker who clears. Burrow's unable to or Scandit rather unable to scoop it up. Rome got it. Thorson back the other way. Denied entry to
the inside. Will back up and hand it off to Saubber Jardelli. Can't find a gap. Scooped up and cleared by Boris. And SLP on the run the other way. Caitlyn Eastston down the right wing
into the middle. Wigan catches, shoots, catches the hilltop defender up high and Margaret Simone immediately to the turf. And we are going to have a break as she is attended to. We will step
away. Be back with more of this section 7 girls lacrosse action after this on CTN. There was once a time when local sports coverage wasn't what it is now. A dark age filled with handicaps and polaroids and angry crowds. Then two
noble souls stood and proclaimed aloud that they'd give the people highquality sports no matter how sports nights they became. Delivering stats and highlights was their vow and sports nights they remain. Watch them weekly on CTN now.
Back at Spring Lake Park High School. Good to see that Simone able to walk off under her own pressure, her own power. And uh take a look at that. I think the ball hits her in the in the neck. It's off a a quick shot. You see
her immediately go for the throw. Wigan catch and release quickly. Yeah, right on the collar bone. Ouch. She'll feel that one in the morning, but uh leave a mark. But she's able to walk off in that close quarters. I thought it was the
cross catching her in the face. So hopefully she's she'll be no worse for wear. Cross to the face, ball to the neck. You know, it's just can't neither one could feel good. No. No. Jeremy
Shepard there to make sure she is well attended to. Best in the business. Boys team from Hermantown Proctor has arrived ready for their 7:00 contest with the SLPCR squad. Also an
eight versus a nine. The interesting thing, 11 teams in the girls lacrosse section, 13 Yeah. in the boys. Thorson trying to scoop near midfield and does gets it ahead for Lucy Lane. And
Lane will run right into the teeth of the defense. Cough it up to a Burrows. Burrows can't fight through Apacia bodies. Ro Maker will play it near side this
time and unable to secure it was Payton Scandrit. Turned over to the Hill Toppers just over midway through the third quarter. Chardelli looking for a gap, finds it, shoots
wide. Good hustle on the backside by Burroughs. Make sure the Hill Toppers maintain possession. Pass too high for Stalbert. Waiting to collect as Eastston. She'll send it along for
Scandrit. Lost it. Scooped it back up on the run. Thorson there to cut her off. Pressure all the way into the corner. Caitlyn Eastston has the last two for SLPCR. Whistle sounds for a bubble infraction.
Erica Maida back into the contest for Spring Lake Park. Eastston will send it down low. Edwards scored both of her goals exactly this way, scooping out from behind the net. finding
a path to the net this time. Not able to convert and Rowan quickly gets back there to get possession back. Her pass nearly taken away. Broken up and now secured by Ruby Castillo. Yeah, we've seen Rowan do that a couple of times. Just making sure she got maintained
possession for her squad. Getting to that ball first. [Music] Eastston into the middle. A little too tall for Castillo. [Music] Edwards in close, but a big save by Ran
will keep this a tie contest at five all. Ran did a really nice job of just staying with it and just kind of looked that into her cross. Caitlyn Eastston not going to wait and give her all the time of the world. Puts some pressure on, forces pass that nearly sneaks out
of bounds on the far side. Would have created a turnover back to the home squad. Instead, they get it ahead to Sarah Stabber. And now Jardelli has to slow down, scoop it back up. Pressured there by Maida. able to break free
and in on the defense and now backs up and will set things up with her teammates. Yeah, we've uh we haven't had a lot of scoring here so far in this second half. Just the one goal. Yeah,
Caitlyn Eastston's to tie it. slipping through his ran, but an offensive foul called. And that will turn it back over. And in a game this tight, still a lot to be played, but and you
obviously goals can come in bunches in lacrosse, but you've got to believe that the next goal is going to be very important in a five contest. Oh, it'll be huge. And you know, both defenses are playing really well, just not allowing opportunities like you saw a little bit
more of in that first half. Good steal on the far side by Edwards. Edwards trying to find her way back to the net. Started so strong with two first period goals. Yep.
shut out since. She knows the importance that next goal would bring and she's got an opportunity on a free position. Yeah. And a good spot. Under a minute remaining now in the third period. Shoots and scores. Cut to the middle.
Finds the hole. Gets her third of the game. Puts her team back in front 65. Yeah, no lead is safe obviously in this uh in this contest so far, but nice job by the SLPCR squad to just make opportunities for themselves and you saw it there. She did a really nice job of making that
opportunity on the free possession and then going to put it past Rowan for the goal. should get a little breather here at the end of the third quarter and her team hoping they can at least get to the locker room or to the third
quarter break up by a goal. Faceoff win. for Schmidt. Even after it's knocked free, she's able to recollect. Schmidt cutting through. She shoots. Ran has
the save. Long pass. Bounces past everybody. Scooped on the run and turned around. This is Addy Row Maker. She will bring it in deep and set it up. Under 20 seconds remain. Well, they will will have at least a
one-goal lead going into the fourth. Opportunity to try and set up one last good look. 5 seconds and four. They'd end up with it in the cross behind the net. But they will get to the third quarter
break up by one. Two goals in the period for Spring Lake Park. They lead Duth Marshall 65. Fourth quarter of this section 7 first round contest. Next on CTN. Back in Spring Lake
Park, three quarters in the books, one on the clock. Spring Lake Park, Rapids trying to punch their ticket to the quarterfinal round in a matchup with the number one seed Chicago Lakes Wildcats. Hill Toppers have had an
answer every time they've fallen behind. They've also led in this contest. They've actually been the only ones to have a two-goal lead through the first three quarters. They were up 53 briefly in the second. SLPCR a big possession off the
opening draw to start the fourth. Obviously plenty of time left in this one, but uh SLPCR would like to see if they could get a twogoal advantage here in this trip down. put a little more pressure on the Hill Toppers. Well, we'll see if either team
feels a little more urgency on offense. I think you'd have to. Both have been pretty complacent and patient, waiting for things to set up or the defense to break down.
Opportunity miss wide for Ruby Castillo, but good positioning by SLPCR. Pass behind gets away from Mid. She recovers, leaves it off. Caitlyn Eastston backs away and will bring it
back up top. Eastston into the middle and unable to secure the pass was Der, but she was able to scoop it back up. Again, so far pretty good possession here for SLPCR. They're just trying to find that opportunity to get that
perfect shot off. Boris back up top into the middle. Castillo turned and there were just all kinds of bodies there. I think she got clubbed. Chardelli able to scoop and run. She's
got some room to work with. Rolls back and sets the offense. You know, both when when those team teams have a possession down in the opponent's hand, it's just working for that purpose, perfect position, just trying to find that
opening. Chardelli from a ways out fires wide. Couple of bodies along the end line. Ada Burrows closest. So, Hill Toppers will keep it. Trying to come out front was Burrows. Then tried to just sweep it toward the
net. [Music] Schmidt long run. sends it ahead. And here is Edwards. Edwards through the middle. No path to the net. Whistle sounds. And now a free position for Ally Edwards.
A good spot for Edwards here. She can get the quick jump. Thorson angles her off and Rowan able to make the save on a shot from in close. Pass doesn't click. Scooped back up by Kyrie Edwards.
Again, SLPC are allowed to set up, work their offense. Well, certainly they they want to see it pay off. Any time down here certainly helps their cause being that they are up a goal,
but getting a little cushion, a little breathing room would be huge. Absolutely. [Music] You see the chance there. Nice stop by Rowan Castillo. Right side and down low out front and
shot by Derer is over the top. Clock continues to move. Six and a half minutes remaining. The slimmest of leads for SLPCR. Clock has stopped to tie the shoe. Caitlyn Eastston off the free position, cuts to the middle, tries to
find room, is denied. stick in fraction and she'll get another opportunity on the free position. Huge stop for Ran. Big stop. She's come up with a couple of them that has kept her team in this one
as SLPCR continues to look for the separator goal. Again, just a great opportunity, but Rowan comes up as you mentioned big. Another golden opportunity for Caitlyn Eastston. lunged in and then backed out and
they'll reset the offense. Moves some pieces through the middle trying to find somebody cutting into the hole. Edwards is there. The pass out of her [Music] reach. Scooped
up by Schmidt. They could use a goal from her. trying to make people miss. Draws the whistle and she'll get free position. And this may be her opportunity right here. Leading goal scorer for SLPCR.
Schmidt to the middle. Had it knocked away. Another whistle sounds. Another free position this time from straight out. Gets in tight, slips it past the keeper. A twogoal lead. That's a big goal. I mean, 413 remaining in this one. That's
a really big goal as she's able to give her squad the two goal cushion. and she gets her 34th goal of the season. But most importantly, she puts her squad up by two. Wildats await on a Thursday
night quarterfinal round. Time out. with Marshall trailing by two with 413 remaining. Going to talk about things. Of course, SLPCR has to feel pretty good about where they are here. And granted, it's still a little over
four minutes left, but here's another look at that that goal. She's able to get it by Rowan, find the back of the net. Well, and anytime you have the long road trip in the playoffs, you know that you're the underdog.
But it makes it that much more sweet if you can have a happy ride home knowing that your season would continue and you'd have another long road trip a couple days later, right? They'd be fine with that. Last four goals in the contest scored by
the home squad from down two at five to three in the second quarter to now leading 75. five with 413 remaining in the fourth. Yeah, and they did that with patient patient offense and really good defense as well
and just spending a lot of time down in the uh in the opponent's end taking time off the clock and then making your opportunities count. talked about it a bit ago if we'd start to see a little more urgency on offense from either
team for SLPCR trying to get that insurance goal and for the Hill Toppers trying to even things back up. But now with the need for two, you'd have to imagine that Hill
Toppers offensively, if they can get possession, will be going pretty much right at the net. Huge steal by Kylie Edwards will keep them from having the opportunity to go right at the net. instead.
Edwards taking it in deep before handing it off to her sister and retreating as the uh Panthers were able to set up in the offensive end. But again, now you can take that opportunity. Not sure what happened.
Oh, we've got another shoe tying happening, but I don't think that's what what led to the whistle. Either way, it's going to be Hill Topper ball. Ella Thorsa fires it all the way
downfield. Emma Johnson can't secure, but then able to scoop it back up and get in on the offensive end. [Music] [Applause] She'll hand it off to Nina Thorson. And
now Ella Ran Stubber fakes the give. Keeps it herself. Good defensive play as Edwards keeps her at bay. Yeah, she was definitely not
fooled by that move. She's able to stay with her, not let her gain that inside. Chardelli back to Stabber up top. This time she does hand off. Thorson lost it as she went to shoot. Scooped
up and cleared out by Paige Post. got it up field and SLPCR able to set up back in the attacking end. Now you see a little more pressure.
Well, they have to pressure because at this point SLPCR could just pass it around in the offensive end and kill the rest of the clock. They have no reason to even attempt a shot if they can maintain
possession. Caitlyn Eastston behind on the far side. At the same time, they don't want to be so complacent that they turn it over away from the net and give the Hill
Toppers more opportunity than they should. [Applause] Yellow card against Thorson. Eastston keeps the pressure at bay. now gets around the corner trying to cut out
front. Now cuts back. Under 90 seconds to [Applause] go and again just allowing the ball to be moved around the perimeter and taking time off the clock.
Oh, that's that's tough. That's tough. Misses with Schmidt on the far side out of bounds and turns it over. And that's the type of complacency I was moment I was mentioning moments ago. 66 seconds remain in the fourth quarter. It's a
tough ask for the Hill Toppers to get to especially after turning it over there. It's a just a good strong defensive play is that I think that was uh as Emily Boris got in the passing lane. Hands it off to Gray Schmidt. And
now up top for Olivia Luri. Shot in and a goal. And that'll add probably the nail in the coffin. That's that's definitely the insurance goal for sure. Now it's Kylie Der in close. Great lookie from Lori.
And again, just a beautiful pass to the inside and she didn't waste any time turning and firing. You can see her go to that far side of the net. Goal number eight on the night for SLPCR. With 43 seconds to
go, SLPCR can start making travel plans for Thursday night. Off the face off, Boris had it knocked free. But illegally so they maintain possession. Edwards spinning off the pressure.
That's Rowan way way way out of her net to defend [Music] on the free position. The net minder is behind the ball carrier. Edwards did not get a shot away and did not need to.
Under 10 seconds to go down to the final five. Hill Toppers are going home and can talk about the end of their season all the way back to Duth. Yeah, you know, it was a competitive especially competitive first half and then the Hill
Toppers did a nice job of of increasing that lead to five to three. But give credit to SLPCR. They solid they played solid defense. They did what they needed to do on offense. They took a lot of time off the clock, not allowing the Hill Toppers to get anything going momentally. Moment momentum anyway,
excuse me, in that second half. Yeah, did not get a goal in the second half out scored by the home team 4 in the final half. And that will be the uh victory for SLPCR. will move them on to
the quarterfinal round against number one seated Chicago Lakes on Thursday night. Yeah, it was a fun one, Joe Yend. And the uh home team gets the win. Gets a nice job getting that that home advantage to start their section play and they get a win for their their
faithful. And just the start of our night as it is game one of a section playoff double header. The Boisey taking the field next against Hermantown Proctor in a similar 8 versus N
scenario. But that's going to do it for this edition of CTN sports. Again, the final score, it's SLPCR8 and Duth Marshall 5. Want to thank everybody out there for joining us and continuing to support everything we do here at CTN. For the entire crew,
including Howie Shapiro, I'm Joe Young saying good night. [Music] Heat. Heat.
