A pair of balanced attacks go head-to-head as Mahtomedi takes its high-powered offense on the road to face a surprising Simley team in Metro East Conference action.

The Zephyrs (5-0, 1-0) are ranked No. 2 in the latest coaches poll, and a key to Mahtomedi's success is Matt Schwartz (11-13-24). The senior attacker is tied for the state lead in assists and has fueled an offensive led by senior attacker Connor Lawless, who is tied for the state lead in goals with 21.

​The Spartans were handed their first defeat of the season on April 29, losing 9-8 to Metro East foe Hastings. The Simley offense has not been held under seven goals this season, powered by junior attacker Carson Schwark (13-6-19), and is one reason the Spartans (4-1, 1-1) have equaled their previous record for regular-season victories just five games into the schedule.

Simley can set a new mark of five wins on Tuesday when it welcomes Mahtomedi for a matchup that is our Top Game of the Week.
