3. Hill-Murray (8-1): Rebounded from a loss to Edina with road victories against South St. Paul and Holy Family.

4. Dodge County (7-0-1): A Class 1A team loaded with returning talent and backed by senior goaltender Ida Huber has the look of a state tournament team.

5. Edina (6-2): Only Andover and Minnetonka have been able to knock off the defending Class 2A champs.

6. Holy Family (7-2): The Fire has started the season with a solid record, but the team needs to find a higher gear.
