Northfield vs. Winona
7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 10

Winona (8-2, 6-1) and Northfield (9-2, 6-1) split last year’s regular-season series, and both sit in a three-way tie with Owatonna atop the Big 9 Conference standings this season. A victory Tuesday could mark the beginning of a run toward the conference championship for either team.

Grace Touchette hit a three-pointer as time expired to lift the No. 8-3A Raiders past Austin 57-56 on Jan. 6. Touchette has been clutch throughout her three years as a starter and is averaging 13.2 points per game this season. Her outside shooting provides a complement to Kaylyn Kidd (13.5 ppg), who prefers to score by attacking the basket.

Eden Nibbelink leads the No. 4-3A Winhawks at 15.6 ppg, while teammate and North Dakota State recruit Danneka Voegeli averages 11.4 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.
