Shakopee at Apple Valley
7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 14

Shakopee faced its first big test of the season on Friday night and barely passed, as the No. 2-4A Sabers held off No. 5-4A Lakeville North for a 68-62 win in South Suburban Conference play.

Things don't get any easier in what's developing into a stacked league.

Led by 20.1 ppg from senior and North Carolina commit Taylor Koenen, Shakopee (9-0, 4-0) now faces a hot Apple Valley team, with the No.10-4A Eagles (9-2, 4-1) earning their first ranking of the season last week.

Lyndsey Robson, a 6-foot-1 junior guard and UW-Green Bay commit, leads Apple Valley's offense at 15.8 ppg.
