Girls Hockey Section Pairings; Owatonna Will Travel To Lakeville North
Girls hockey playoffs begin Wednesday. Owatonna is the seventh seed and will play at Lakeville North, the defending section champion. Lakeville South is the top seed.
Section 1AA for girls hockey looks pretty strong:

- Two are conference champions (John Marshall and Lakeville South)
- Four are ranked in the top 20 (JM, LS, Lakeville North and Dodge County)
- Defending champ North has finished in the top four at state three straight years
The Huskies have won their last two games to finish above the .500 mark for the seventh consecutive season. Lakeville North has ended the season on a 12-game winning streak, including a season-ending victory over top seed Lakeville South on Saturday. Owatonna is averaging two goals per game and giving up three. North is scoring three per contest and holding opponents to one goal on average.
