Big Rivers Conference: Updated after Tuesday Games
Here is an update on the conference as we move into the second half of the conference calendar. Things are taking shape with Memorial, Chippewa Falls and Hudson in the best spot to win conference.

Hudson 5-2-0

EC North 3-4-1
River Falls 2-5-1
Menomonie 0-7-1
Surprise result of the week: North came back from a goal down against a stingy Rice Lake defense to take a nice 3-2 win at home. A good win for North and a confidence builder as they face Memorial tonight.
Team to watch: Hudson. Hudson sits in second with the only real chance to challenge Memorial for the conference crown. They have a big game against Rice Lake on Thursday that is a must win and Rice Lake has played really well against the top half of the conference.
