Eagan, ranked No. 1 in the Class 3A state coaches' poll, has been nothing short of dominant this season, going undefeated through 19 matches.
The Wildcats (19-0, 8-0) have not lost a set since Sept. 24, sweeping quality opponents like No. 9-3A Lakeville North and No. 7-3A Shakopee along the way.
Regardless of Eagan's record, Lakeville South (18-2, 6-2) is no pushover. The Cougars have cruised to several victories recently, winning four consecutive matches without dropping a set.
Lakeville South features one of the state’s top offensive combos in senior outside hitter Jenny Mosser (378 kills) and junior setter Sydney Case (643 assists).
With the Wildcats' run of unparalleled success colliding with a Cougars team riding a hot streak and primed for a spoiler role, this clash of South Suburban Conference titans is our pick for the Top Game of the Week.
