Mankato Loyola vs. St. Peter
7:30 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 26

Mankato Loyola will face a stern test in St. Peter after compiling a seven-game winning streak. The No. 5-1A Crusaders have blown out six of their opponents during that streak.

Lindsay Theuninck is averaging 28 ppg for Mankato Loyola (14-1, 8-0) and just put up 51 in a 82-32 win over Lake Crystal-Wellcome-Memorial on Jan. 20. She’s gotten help along the way from RaeAnn Dose, who is averaging 13.6 ppg.

St. Peter (12-2, 5-1) might be able to slow down Theuninck like it did last year. The Saints held her to 11 points in a 61-50 victory last January.

Olivia McCabe and Kelli Hanson will be key for St. Peter. McCabe had 16 points and 11 rebounds in a 57-45 win over Maple River on Jan. 17. Hanson added 15 points for the Saints.
