PREP GIRLS HOCKEY: Marshall battles back to beat Prairie Centre, 6-4

SAUK CENTRE – The Marshall girls hockey team battled back from a two-goal deficit to defeat Prairie Centre 6-4 on Tuesday.

The Tigers quickly found their backs against the wall after Prairie Centre scored a pair of goals in the first period.

In the second period, Marshall got on the board when Sydney Mauch scored 50 seconds into the frame to cut the deficit to 2-1, but Prairie Centre answered right back with a goal of its own to push its lead back to two.

Mauch then found the back of the net for the second time four minutes into the period before getting another shot past the goaltender for a hat trick and to tie the game up at 3-3.

Midway through the third period, Kaitlyn Timm put the Tigers on top at 4-3 with a power-play goal but Prairie Centre responded once again with a goal to make it 4-4 with a little more than four minutes to go.

Marshall stayed resilient, however, getting a goal from Olivia Peterson before Mauch found the back of the net on an empty netter to bring it to the 6-4 final.

Prairie Centre outshot Marshall 30-29. Alexis Moat earned the victory in net for the Tigers, stopping 26 shots on the night.

Marshall will host its home tournament this weekend, beginning with a matchup against the MBA Storm on Friday at 3:45 p.m.
