Stillwater have been homebodies their last two matches, but they are heading out on Friday. They and Rosemount go head to head at 7:00 PM in their first playoff match of the year. Rosemount will be strutting in after a victory while Stillwater will be stumbling in from a loss.
We expected Stillwater to have trouble with the significantly higher-ranked Woodbury last Wednesday, and they did. Stillwater found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 7-33 punch to the gut against Woodbury. Stillwater were in a tough position by the half, with the score sitting at 0-20.
Meanwhile, Rosemount brought a five-game winning streak into their matchup against Shakopee last Wednesday; they left with a six-game streak. Rosemount skirted past Shakopee 17-14. The margin of victory was a little narrower than expected seeing as Rosemount are ranked 72 places ahead of Shakopee in the state rankings.
Stillwater's defeat took them down to 2-6 while Rosemount's win pulled them up to 6-2. We'll see if Stillwater can steal Rosemount's luck or if Rosemount records another win instead.
