Bethany Lutheran Vikings (5-9-0, 3-6-0 UMAC)
The Vikings came into the season with high hopes after making the post-season last year, but have now lost seven of their last nine on their way to a 5-9-0 record.  The Vikings are led by Joe Nuah and CK Pock, both with 12 points on the season.  Ryan Bolte and Noah Heidorn have split time in goal this year.  Bolte has a 3-5-0 record with three shutouts on the season while Heidorn has a 2-4-0 with no shutouts.

Bethany Lutheran Vikings (7-5-3, 3-3-3 UMAC)
With their most recent victory over Martin Luther, the Vikings have moved into fourth place and now sit in the would-be final spot in the UMAC tournament.  Bethany is now on a five-game unbeaten streak to climb back into that fourth spot.  Leading the way for the Vikings are Joelle Pipal with 18 points and Paige Taylor with 14.  Alexa Mowery has been in goal for the Vikings every game this season.  She has four shutouts to go along with 125 saves on the season. 

Last Meeting: (CSS All-Time Record vs. Bethany Lutheran: 12-0-1)
The Saints and Vikings met back in September at Saints Field in Duluth when CSS walked away with a 2-0 victory.  The Saints were lifted by goals from Kehtel and Kristin McIntosh (Forest Lake, Minn./Forest Lake HS (Century College)) while Mahlum earned the shutout.

Martin Luther Knights (7-6-1, 3-5-1 UMAC)
With their most recent loss to Bethany Lutheran, the Knights fell out of the top four in the UMAC and that final playoff spot with just three games left on the season.  The outlook isn't good as the Knights face two of the top three teams in those games, with Bethany facing the same teams.  Leading the way for MLC on the season is Bethany Schultz who has 14 points.  The only other player in double digits is Kadie Drake with 10.  Allison Snyder has been on record in all but one game as goalkeeper for the Knights on her way to a 6-5-1 record with two shutouts.  The Knights will host Northland on Friday before hosting CSS on Saturday.
