Shooting for a conference championship
Maddie Kolbow, pictured, and the rest of the Ranger girls hockey team blazed through three Suburban East Conference opponents last week, never trailing at any point. After fighting past East Ridge 3-1, the Rangers beat Cretin-Derham Hall 3-0 and Mounds View 5-1 to sweep past the two teams in the SEC standings and take sole possession of first place with a week to go. Madi Nolan (three), Kayla Kasel and Kolbow (two) and Breija Parent, Kenzie Rugland, Ellen Nelson and Sydney Rydel (one) were the goalscorers; goaltender Josie Bothun allowed only two goals on 80 total shots. The Rangers were 11-3 in SEC play at press time, ahead of Mounds View and Cretin (both 10-4) and White Bear Lake (10-5); the Rangers played Woodbury (0-13) on Tuesday and can confirm their conference championship with a win over Stillwater (5-8-1) on Saturday, Feb. 4.broadstreet.zone(48036);
