Recap
Top-seeded Mahtomedi finds itself in a customary place: A girls soccer championship game. After all, the Zephyrs (18-2-0) are a four-time champion since 2017 and a state-best 10 times overall.
Mahtomedi looks to extend that streak following a 2-0 victory over No. 4 Benilde-St. Margaret’s in the first Class AA semifinal on Wednesday, Nov. 2 at U.S. Bank Stadium. Sophomore midfielder Aynseal Ulschmid scored in the first half and senior midfielder Anabel Hillstrom added another early in the second half. Mahtomedi’s stingy defense, which allowed the Red Knights (14-5-2) just one shot throughout, protected the lead.
The Zephyrs opened the scoring with 2:43 remaining in the first half off a corner kick. Senior midfielder Katelyn Beulke had an initial shot off a header, but the ball couldn’t be corralled by Benilde-St. Margaret’s senior goalkeeper Clara Luger. Ulschmid made contact with the ball and she was credited with the goal. Hillstrom added to the lead six minutes into the second half when she tapped a rebound under Luger.

In the second semifinal, No. 2 Holy Angels scored in the first half and defense took over from there in a 1-0 victory over No. 3 Mankato East. Senior Kathryn Van Sloun scored in the 22nd minute on a low shot from 10 yards. Junior Makayla Clow picked up the assist on the play.
Holy Angels enters the Class AA championship game on a 12-game winning streak and with hopes of adding another championship to the program’s rich history. In four previous championship game appearances, the Stars (19-2-0) won a Class A title in 2003 and was the runner-up on three other occasions.
