Forest Lake finished the season with a record of 11-14-0, struggling defensively but showing offensive depth. Their inconsistency could be a concern heading into the playoffs.
Duluth Marshall ended the season with a record of 14-9-2, proving to be a solid all-around team with balanced scoring and slightly better defensive stability.
While Forest Lake has capable scorers, Duluth Marshall’s more balanced team and better defensive structure give them the edge. Forest Lake must tighten up defensively to avoid another high-scoring loss. Expect a close game, but Duluth Marshall is favored.
Final Prediction: Duluth Marshall 5, Forest Lake 3
