Jacob Boller also returns as the team leader in assists from last year with 11, 10th in 1A. In goal, Blake Bontrager returns for his senior season after a year that saw him spend more than 1,400 minutes in goal and make 77 stops for an 82% save percentage allowing less than one goal per game. These two teams met once last season with IMS taking a 2-1 road win. Action begins tonight at 5p.m. at Iowa Mennonite School.
