CLASS 2A
Edina 2, Andover 1
Edina edged defending champion Andover 2-1 for the Class 2A championship Saturday at the Xcel Energy Center.
The No. 2 ranked Hornets (22-0) did it with defense and goaltending, diffusing an Andover team that had averaged 8.8 goals per game and one that never scored less than four in a game this season.
No. 1 ranked Andover (22-1) had been the only team to defeat Edina the past two seasons, including last season's championship game. But the Hornets, playing in their fifth consecutive championship game, won their fourth state title in that run.
Andover outshot Edina 16-2 in the first period but Hornets goaltender Uma Corniea kept the Huskies from scoring. The sophomore stopped 30 of Andover's 31 shots overall. Corniea previously won two Class 1A state titles with Breck.
