Eden Prairie girls eke out close victory over Wayzata- The Eagles trailed at halftime, but stormed past the Trojans in the second half for the narrow win. Going into the final minutes of Tuesday night’s game featuring Wayzata and Eden Prairie, the momentum looked to be safely in the Trojans’ hands. Wayzata (5-2) had held onto the lead for most of the contest thanks to some dynamic attacking from captain Sikorski. The senior was up to her usual tricks in front of the goal, making this her third-straight game scoring five goals. But in the final three minutes, the Eagles (3-3) started a major run of their own. Down 9-7, senior Kylie Bamlett scored twice in less than a minute to tie the game. It was the first time the Trojans had lost the lead since the 10:24 mark of the first half. Then, Eagles junior Josie Wallace did well to open up space and find her teammate Brinley Hopper in front of goal. The senior tucked away the goal to give her team a late 10-9 lead that Wayzata couldn’t overcome. “It’s a heck of a win, I mean I love how this team has really shown some good tenacity throughout the season,” said Eden Prairie coach Brooke Jones. “Throughout the game, I think it was more just: keep shooting, the shots are going to drop eventually. “Their goalie played an amazing game, but it was really about making sure we’re executing on offense and getting after it on draws and the ground balls.” The Trojans’ goaltender, junior Delaney Gnos, indeed had an outstanding game despite the loss. Her 15 saves were more than enough to keep her team on top, before the Eagles last-ditch comeback. Gnos made a number of point-blank saves, a couple coming on free position shots. But the intensity of the Eagles attack, led by junior Avery Wallace who had four goals and an assist on the night, never stopped. “It’s really important to emphasize (to the players), how close they are to being right back in it,” Jones said. “That’s something that we really try to hammer home in practice, just keeping the energy up all the way through.”
