Teams around the metro punched their tickets Tuesday evening for a trip to the state tournament as section champions were crowned.
Mahtomedi 3, Totino-Grace 2 (OT)
Fourth-seeded Mahtomedi completed its run through the Class 2A, Section 4 playoffs with a 3-2 defeat of No. 2 seed Totino-Grace for the championship in Fridley. The Zephyrs rallied from a 2-1 second-half deficit to tie the game with under five minutes remaining on a 22-yard free kick wonderstrike by Adalyn Beulke to force overtime.
The game went to penalty kicks after a pair of 10-minute sessions failed to decide matters. Mahtomedi finally won 3-2 on kicks, with Rose Prescott hitting the clinching strike.
Eagan 2, Rosemount 1
Kennedy Larson scored in the sixth minute to give second-seeded Eagan a lead it did not relinquish as the Wildcats topped No. 1 seed Rosemount 2-1 in the Class 3A, Section 3 title game. Teagan Tesdall chipped one over Irish goaltender Kelly Fitzgerald early in the second half to put the Wildcats up 2-0 before a late Rosemount wrecked Eagan’s shutout bid.

Stillwater 1, Woodbury 0
Second-seeded Stillwater topped No. 4 seed Woodbury for the Class 3A, Section 4 title, with the only goal of the game coming just four minutes into the second half.
