JCC ended its regular-season schedule Monday with a 3-0 win at Fairmont to put its record at 18-11. The break for the Thunderhawks will be almost as long as they lost 3-2 at West Central Area Tuesday to finish 4-16.
The teams did not meet during the season and have only one common opponent. Redwood Valley.
The Huskies won a home match over the Cardinals 3-1 on Sept. 6 while the Thunderhawks lost 3-1 in Redwood Falls on Oct. 17.
The JCC-Montevideo winner advances to the sub-section semifinals and play either third-seeded Windom or sixth-seeded Fairmont on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at the higher seed.
The sub-section championship match is Thursday, Nov. 3 at a neutral site to be determined and the Section 3AA championship match is Saturday, Nov. 5 at the RA Facility at Southwest Minnesota State.
