LAST MEETING: St. Louis Park defeated Columbia Heights, 5-0, on Sept. 7, 2011.

ON THE LINE

Columbia Heights will face their first real test of the season with St. Louis Park. The Orioles hope last year will replay itself in this year’s match-up.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

  • Samuel Brimacomb (St. Louis Park) – Brimacomb is a defender who can also score.  Look for him to give the opposing team fits on Tuesday night.
  • Alex Born (Columbia Heights) – This sophomore goaltender will have the task of slowing down the Orioles potent offense.

ORIOLES WIN IF...

They can take care of the ball and control the tempo of the game. 

HYLANDERS WIN IF...

They can keep up with St. Louis Park’s speedy midfielders and forwards.  Columbia Heights has had issues in the past couple of years with conditioning—and the Orioles know it.
