- Rolando Barclay (Hopkins) – Barclay is averaging four shots on net per game and has already found the back of the net twice this year. Look for the senior forward to make a huge impact on this game, too.
- Luke VonEschen (St. Louis Park) – If you want to watch a pure scorer, VonEschen is the kid to watch. The sophomore midfielder has a sixth sense for the back of the net and will be seen all over the field Monday night.
