Tech and Willmar met twice this season and tied both games, 2 apiece on September 3 and 2-2 on September 26. Tech head coach Dan Stoterau joined me on WJON. He says Willmar is a really good team and they play a similar style to them. Stoterau says they won't be able to tie this time, the rules don't allow it. He says the team has battled through a bunch of close games this season by keeping their head in the game. Tech has won their 2 section games this season 2-0 over Little Falls and 1-0 over Apollo. Stoterau says they are a strong defensive minded team from top to bottom.

Top offensive threats for Tech this season include Caden Castillo-Blumke, Abdirahman Abdullahi, Musamil Abdi, Mohamud Ali and Will Pearson. Stoterau says they've had great balance in their scoring this season.

Tech has won 6 straight section championships. The Tigers finished 4th at the Class AA State Tournament last season.
