Prior Lake at Shakopee
7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 15

Prior Lake rebounded from losses to No. 19-3A Bloomington Jefferson and No. 2-1A Tracy-Milroy-Balaton in the Southwest Minnesota Challenge to defeat Marshall in the tournament's seventh-place match.

Can the No. 3-3A Lakers (7-3) maintain the momentum in this South Suburban Conference matchup? 

Junior middle blocker Kayla Bair leads the team with 62 kills while senior setter Ellie Veldman has 141 assists this season, and both need to be part of the answer.

Prior Lake swept Shakopee in their league contest last season.

The No. 6-3A Sabers (3-1) lost just two sets in their first three matches this year, and their lone loss was to No. 1-3A Eagan on Sept. 10 in Shakopee's home tournament. The Sabers have been effective in opening sets, outscoring opponents 91-67 in the first and 100-71 in the second.
