Sturgeon Bay soccer hasn't really been tested in the playoffs so far but that figures to change on Thursday. The 2-seed Clippers will take on 6-seed Lourdes Academy/Valley Christian at home. The Knights upset 3-seed Winnebago Lutheran 1-0 on Saturday to earn a trip to Clark Field in Sturgeon Bay. Howards Grove and Omro, Sturgeon Bay's two playoff opponents, were outscored by the Clippers by a combined 14-0 in the regionals. Not only will Sturgeon Bay be playing a tough opponent but the weather could be a major factor as the field could be wet from snow and the temperature will be in the 30s.
The Clippers are led by Packerland Conference Player of the Year Adison Benzinger and 8 All-Conference players. Whoever wins this game will play the winner of Oostburg and Kohler in the sectional final on Saturday in Kohler. You can hear the broadcast of the game on 103.3 The Clipper and DoorKewauneeHighSchoolSports.com beginning at 6:30 PM with the pregame show.
