The X-Factor: The teams did not meet in 2010, but the Vikings showed they could beat a team the Wolfpack are all too familiar with when they earned a 13-5 win over Mother McAuley. The key for St Ignatius is to stop Erika Lauraitis on the offensive end; if not, Fremd could very easily have a chance to improve on last season's third-place finish.
