Bainbridge vs Issaquah Match-up

BI's defense is a powerhouse and will make it very hard for Issy to completly utalize their offense. On top of that what BI doesn't have on O (not saying that its weak) they definently make up for in playing as a team. Those guys are close and play very well together. I say BI by 3 goals

I think the Bainbridge offense has really under acheived this season and this game will be a real test.
The Goalie match-up (Bressler vs Stevenson) is a very important part of this game. Stevenson is a 3rd year starter and i believe this is Bressler's first year.

all and all i think Bainbridge will come out on top.
Prediction: BI 11 Issy 6

Issaquah by 3

Both of these teams have not even been challenged by any other team this season. The next 3 top teams in the state are likely Bellevue, Mercer, and Maple Valley. Issaquah outscored these three 46 to 16 with their closest game decided by 6. Bainbridge handled both Maple Valley and Mercer pretty badly, but in the end Bainbridge's incredible defense including their goalie are going to take it by 2.

I think the key difference and probably deciding factor will be faceoffs. Both are extremely quality teams who aren't going to waste any possessions and those few off the face will be huge. Besides that it really comes down to two totally different battles. Can Issaquahs great offense overcome BIs great defense and then can Issaquahs pretty good defense shut down BIs pretty good offense. Although often overlooked, the one that will really decide the game is the second one. In the end though i think it will be a one goal game going in either direction. Probably a pretty low scoring affair as well. Prediction 8-7 Issaquah.

I think Issy is much improved, but I think you are underestimating BI's DEFENCE (wins championships). Probably one of the strongest team defences on the west coast.
