MINN BOYS: MSHSL Playoffs: Eden Prairie Wins Section 6 Championship

Junior middie Benner Schleider scored a goal and dished four assists to lead Eden Prairie to a come-from-behind, 11-10 victory over Minnetonka in the Minnesota State High School League Section 6 championship game Friday night.

Senior attackman Dan Jones added four points on three goals and one assist, juniors Alex Gilbert and P.J. Jepson scored a pair of goals, and senior middie Jack Hewitt and sophomore attackman Matt Murphy finished with a goal and an assist to help Eden Prairie win its second straight section title.

Senior goalie Scott Swanson saved 14 shots, and freshman middie Mitch Hugdahl scored what stood up to be the game-winning goal for Eden Prairie (11-3), which advanced to Wednesday's state semifinals. Eden Prairie will face a yet-to-be-determined opponent. A state seeding meeting will be held Saturday to select the seeds for the state tournament.

Minnetonka dominated the game for much of the first half before Eden Prairie recovered. Minnetonka led 5-3 at the end of the first quarter before scoring three straight to start the second to push ahead, 8-3.

But Eden Prairie came back with an 8-1 run over two-and-a-half quarters. Eden Prairie closed within 8-5 by halftime and moved ahead 10-9 at the end of the third quarter. Hugdahl's fourth-quarter goal put Eden Prairie ahead, 11-9.

"I'm really proud of the guys," Eden Prairie Coach Ryan Ward said. "We're a young team, but we never gave up. We started winning the small battles. I'm really happy we stuck with it, and it shows how much heart we have."

In a losing effort, senior middie Will Denton and sophomore attackman Ned Wolff each scored three goals for Minnetonka, which finished the season 11-3.

"It was a hard-fought game," Minnetonka Coach Travis Wells said. "We had the intensity in the second quarter that we needed, and we needed to sustain it the whole game."
