MCKENZIE JOHNSON

Better known as a hockey goalie, the senior is also a five-year standout in goal for the Eagles' lacrosse team and the only remaining player from their 2009 state championship team.

Hockey might be her passion, but Johnson is just as dedicated in lacrosse.

"Nothing compares to hockey," she said. "But I love playing lacrosse. It's great to be a part of such a successful team."

Her skills were on display last week. In a sport where the best goalies stop about 60 percent of the shots they face, Johnson made 27 saves on 38 shots — a .711 save percentage — as the No. 1-ranked Eagles downed No. 4 Minnetonka 7-6 and No. 10 Cretin-Derham Hall 19-5.

Even more impressive was how Johnson stonewalled the Raiders on eight-meter free shots (the equivalent to a soccer penalty kick), stopping all six attempts she faced.

"[That's] an unmatched statistic," Eden Prairie co-head coach Judy Baxter said in an e-mail.

Like all good goalies, Johnson was quick to credit the players in front of her for her success.

The Rangers won six of seven games last week with Dresel, a senior, providing much of the offense. He had 16 hits in 25 at-bats (.640) with seven doubles, two triples, a homer, nine RBI and 10 runs scored.
