NEW ULM – The Marshall boys hockey team earned a hard-fought 4-2 victory over New Ulm on Thursday night, and was able to see a milestone be achieved by one of its players.

Senior forward Mason Plante, who entered the night just two goals shy of reaching the 100 career-goal plateau, scored twice to tie the mark. The 100 goals, which is a school record, was set by Dylan Criquet-Danielson.

After Plante scored his first goal of the night and No. 99 for his career on the assist from Tristan VanDeVere in the opening period, Landon Frost would push Marshall’s lead to 2-0 in the second on the assist from Plante and Bryson Whyte. Later in the second, VanDeVere joined in on the scoring action off the assist from Kaleb Welvaert to make it 3-0 Tigers after two.

In the third, after a New Ulm goal cut the deficit to 3-1, Plante would find a lane to the net and buried the puck past the New Ulm goaltender for his 100th career goal, giving Marshall a 4-1 lead. The Eagles would then get another goal to make it a two-goal game, but couldn’t draw any closer as Marshall took home the 4-2 victory.

Dominik Caspers earned the victory in net for the Tigers, stopping 34 shots for his 11th win on the season.

WORTHINGTON — Marshall picked up a couple wins on Thursday to stay unbeaten, defeating Worthington 49-18 and Jackson County Central 45-29.

Marshall jumped out to an early 15-0 through three bouts against JCC, which included consecutive pins from Dylan Louwagie and Hsa Khee Lar to open the dual.

After JCC got on the board, Lucas Hodges added a third pin for the Tigers to give Marshall a 21-6 lead.

The Huskies won the next three bouts to narrow the score to 21-20, but the Tigers quickly responded with 24 consecutive points to put the match out of reach with just two weight classes remaining. JCC took the final two bouts to put the final score at 45-29.

Similar to the JCC dual, Marshall took the first three weight classes against Worthington to jump out to an early 12-0 lead.

Hsa Law Eh recorded the first pin of the dual for the Tigers at 120. That began a stretch where Marshall and Worthington went back and forth for next six bouts. Each team won three apiece with none won consecutively to give Marshall a 19-15 advantage through eight weight classes.

After the Trojans forfeited the 160 weight class, Elijah Sterner started a Marshall streak of 24 straight points with a pin at 170. Zach Stahl and Jaiden Bahr also pinned their opponents in the streak, putting the match at a 43-15 score.

Worthington won the 220 bout by decision to end the streak, but Cole Felcyn won the heavyweight bout for Marshall to give the Tigers a 49-18 win.

Marshall coach Justin Bouwman said after the triangular that the Tigers (10-0) will be ranked in the new Class AA polls that release today.
