Fosston at Ada-Borup
7:15 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 30

Ada-Borup has been a traditional power in the Pine to Prairie Conference under longtime coach Ruth Hayden and this fall is no different. The Cougars are 6-0 in the conference and have lost once in their last 16 matches. Hayden is now eight victories shy of the 700 plateau for her career, a mark reached by only four other coaches (Hibbing’s Gail Nucech, Stewartville’s John Dzubay, Milan Mader of Lakeville North, and Walt Weaver, who coached at both Apple Valley and Lakeville North).

Fosston is just one match behind in the conference race. The Greyhounds haven’t been to the state tournament since 2004, when they won their third title in four years. Fosston played Ada-Borup in the Cougars’ home tournament Sept. 6, falling 2-0 in the semifinals.
