Hudson finishes the season in the MBSLA undefeated and ranked #1. Their only blemish on the season came to Verona, WI in a tournament played in Madison, WI. They finish their season with a 9-4 win over Shakopee. Duluth remains at #2 after picking up two wins this week against two Top 10 opponents, MontiQuios 11-7 and in OT against Northfield 8-7. Duluth added Northfield after Hudson pulled out of their scheduled Saturday game and it almost cost them a perfect regular season. Northfield played well at home and this end of the season overtime test may help prepare Duluth for the rigors of the playoffs to come. St. Louis Park remains at #3 after beating Shakopee. St. Paul moves up to #4 while Shattuck-St. Mary's drops to #5. We just feel that St. Paul's strength of schedule warranted this move up (their only losses came to #1 Hudson and #3 St. Louis Park). MontiQuois moves up to #6 based primarily on their better record. Having seen them play, this is still a good team. Northfield is at #7 but I see MontiQuois and Northfield as similar teams and probably are about even. Four of Northfield's five losses have come against 4 of the top 5 ranked teams in the state. This is a good team. The first round match up between St. Paul and Northfield should be the best first round match up in the MBSLA. Grand Rapids comes in at #8. This is another team that is similar to MontiQuois and Northfield. We put them in just below Northfield based on the strength of victories against common opponents. Northfield's games against common opponents are just a little stronger. To round out the Top 10 we move Fargo up to #9 and drop Shakopee to #10. We almost replaced Shakopee with St. Cloud North at #10, but didn't see enough compelling reasons to do so. As such, let's call St. Cloud North #10b.
