Exira EHK has won 5 in a row coming into tonight’s match — beating Woodbine, Paton Churdan, Ar-We-Va, Boyer Valley and Glidden Ralston. Reischauer says CAM will present some problems because they have size

Five players have over 100 digs led by Kendra Nelson with 154.

Zimmerline says Exira EHK is all about Jaelynn and Taryn Petersen
