St. Cloud Cathedral at Delano
7:15 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 26

Two of Class 1A’s highest-scoring squads square off Thursday night in a clash between No. 6-1A St. Cloud Cathedral and No. 3-1A Delano.

The Crusaders (14-2-2, 1-0) currently boast a 5.94 goals-per-game average, and are riding a five-game winning streak. Individually, senior forward Jake Van Halbeck (23-22-45) has scored at least one goal in every game since Christmas.

The Tigers (13-2-1, 5-1) are averaging greater than six goals per game (6.25) with a power play that cashes in nearly half of the time (48 percent). 

Since the disappointing 10-1 home loss to Holy Family Catholic on Jan. 12, Delano has won three straight games by getting back to scoring, notching 17 goals in those games. 

Senior forwards Ben Meyers (27-35-62) and Brian Halonen (24-26-50) have combined for 112 points and 51 goals so far this season.
