Prior Lake at Apple Valley
7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 17

Apple Valley has streaked to a 7-0 record, losing just two sets in that span. An experienced roster could be the recipe for the Eagles' success, as no underclassmen mark the lineup card.

Apple Valley does a lot of damage in the third set, where it has outscored opponents 92-51 this season. That ability to close out matches could be a factor in an important South Suburban Conference game with Prior Lake. 

Prior Lake (7-1) can’t afford to overlook any opponent, especially in conference play. The No. 3-3A Lakers’ also have experience on their side as the core of their lineup helped sweep the Eagles in straight sets last year.
