No. 5-3A Albany at No. 4-2A Sauk Centre
7:30 p.m., Monday, Jan. 20

One of these teams will suffer its first defeat Monday night in a great clash up I-94 northwest of St. Cloud. Albany's new coach Aaron Boyum had to replace two key starters, but the Huskies haven’t missed a beat. They’re run out to an unbeaten record with senior guars Amazih Eickhoff and Vanessa Spohn in the backcourt and freshman sensation Erin Navratil anchoring the paint. Sauk Centre is even greener after graduating all five starters from a team that made its fourth straight state tournament trip last winter. But as he seemingly does every year, coach Scott Bergman has the Mainstreeters winning with regularity.
