Pregame

St. Paul's size matches up against Portland's speed. Shoreline Conference player of the year Kelly Coleman will need to spark the Highlanders offense against a stingy St. Paul defense, which hasn't allowed more than 37 points during the state tournament. The Falcons' balance has been key all season, but senior Chelsea Mone is averaging 18.5 points in her last two games.

This is St. Paul's third state final. The Falcons have one state championship, winning the Class S title in 2001. This is Portland's first appearance in a state final.

St. Paul opened the state tournament with a win over East Hampton, a team that beat Portland during the regular season.
