KEY MATCHUPS
Jan. 22 vs. Winona — Last season, the Winhawks and Falcons played to a tightly-contested 53-50 game, which Winona was able to win, before it also won the rematch later in the season 52-36. In the 2018-19 season, Faribault won both games of the season series by a combined 14 points, so generally these two teams tend to stay pretty close to one another. This season, the Winhawks will feature an eye-popping 12 seniors. These two teams will also play March 5 in Winona.
Jan. 30 vs. Northfield — The first time these two teams met last season, the Raiders were able to edge the Falcons 55-49, despite 17 points from Evy Vettrus. Two seasons ago, when the Raiders advanced to the Section 1AAA title game, the Falcons again produced a close game in a 53-51 overtime defeat. Northfield returns every player from last season, as it was without a senior, and these two teams will also meet Feb. 16 in Northfield.
Feb. 5 vs. Rochester Century — Against a Rochester Century team that provided fits against some of the better squads in the Big 9 Conference, Faribault provided plenty of resistance. That included a 55-47 win for the Panthers in Faribault, during which Vettrus drained four 3-pointers to score 18 points. Then, in the rematch in Rochester, the Falcons surged to a 74-70 victory with the help of 14 points from Maryn Hart and 12 from Isabel Herda. These two teams will also play in the regular-season finale March 11 in Rochester.
