With a trip to the Section 2AA Championship game on the line, the Le Sueur-Henderson Giants volleyball team traveled to New Prague H.S. Monday night to face off against former Minnesota River Conference rival Belle Plaine.

Football: Ponies fall short against Prior Lake

SAVAGE — Seeking a fresh start in the postseason, some familiar challenges hampered Stillwater in a 28-13 loss to Prior Lake in the first round of the Class AAAAAA football playoffs on Friday, Oct. 30 at Prior Lake High School. The fifth-seeded Ponies (2-7) were locked in another tight battle through three quarters, but unable to make enough plays down the stretch — or avoid their opponents from seizing those opportunities. “Unfortunately, this feels like a broken record,” Stillwater coach Beau LaBore said. “It feels like most of the games that we’ve played.” The Ponies outgained Prior Lake (360-340), gained more first downs (26-14), and held a nearly 14-minute advantage in time of possession while running more than twice the number of plays (82 to 40), but were held scoreless in the second half as the Lakers (5-4) pulled away for their fifth straight victory after starting the season 0-4. Prior Lake’s reward is a road trip to top-seeded Moorhead (9-0) on Friday, Nov. 6 for a spot in the state tournament. The Spuds join Champlin Park (9-0) as the only remaining teams without a loss among the state’s largest schools. Stillwater moved the ball throughout the game against a

Minnesota and St. Thomas start a new rivalry. Proximity doesn't mean they'll see each other often

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The novelty of the first men's basketball matchup in 92 years between Minnesota and St. Thomas, two schools a mere 3 miles apart along the winding Mississippi River, will give the Gophers a rare attendance boost during the first week of the season. That doesn't mean this game will become a regular occurrence. Extra ticket sales don't factor into NCAA Tournament selection criteria. “If you take the name off the jersey or that they were local, there’s no upside to us playing them,” Minnesota coach Niko Medved said. The Gophers were expecting around 10,000 fans, Medved said, for the game on Friday night. They only topped that mark last season twice, against rival Wisconsin and Nebraska, another nearby Big Ten foe. The 14,000-seat arena — now officially called The Barn by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota — will be livelier than it's been for any nonconference game in years. St. Thomas, in its sixth year as a Division I program after making an unprecedented jump directly from Division III, will undoubtedly bring its best for the biggest crowd it'll likely play in front of all season. But despite the fact the Tommies won 48 games

Crimson boys soccer loses in heartbreaker at state

As the favored seed in the state tournament quarterfinals, Maple Grove boys soccer had a tough task on its hand. Familiar foe St. Paul Central was the first-round opponent on Oct. 29. The two teams had met in the season, and the Crimson survived a 5-3 slugfest. This time, the Minutemen won and ended the Crimson's season in penalty kicks. The first half started exactly how the Crimson drew it up. In the first 10 minutes, star senior midfielder Parker Carlson managed to control a bouncing ball on the Minutemen side of the field. Carlson made a couple moves and fired a through pass between a flurry of Minutemen defenders. Fellow senior and captain Bodi Nelson took the pass and rifled a perfect left footed shot past the goalkeeper into the back of the net. The Crimson now played with the lead, but both teams would continue to find offensive opportunities. The Minutemen had a few shots or drive in close to the goal that goalkeeper Raidyn Bailey stopped. The best play of the game from Bailey came near the end of the first half. Leading 1-0, a cross came into the box and a header directed at the ground

Gophers, Tommies begin 2026-27 basketball seasons

The college basketball season begins tonight, and it doesn't look promising for Minnesota's teams. Gophers men: A Columbus Dispatch preseason media poll has Minnesota finishing 13th in the 18-team Big Ten conference. Their best player, Cade Tyson, is still awaiting a court decision on a class-action lawsuit that will determine if he's eligible to play. If he can play, ESPN says the Gophers are a " a dangerous bubble team ." Gophers women: Coming off last year's Sweet 16 appearance, Minnesota looked like it would contend for a Big Ten title this season. Preseason polls put the Gophers among the nation's top 20 teams. Yes, but: That was before they lost star guard Tori McKinney to a season-ending knee injury . St. Thomas men: This will be the Tommies' second year of eligibility for March Madness. They're picked to finish a close second in the Summit League, but if they can win the conference they would get an automatic bid. St. Thomas women: After a 16-16 finish last year, the Tommies have a new coach, Mandy Pearson, who came from University of Minnesota-Duluth. The intrigue: For the first time in the Division I era, the Gophers and Tommies will play
