MARSHALL – The Marshall Amateur Hockey Association’s Pee Wee B team went 1-1 over the weekend, coming away with their first win of the year on Sunday when they defeated Lakes Area 5-1. The Tigers fell to Redwood 12-1 on Saturday in Redwood Falls.

On Sunday, Marshall took the lead less than six minutes into the game when Grady Meulebroeck put a shot on goal and Salem Frost put the rebound back up over the goalie to put the Tigers up 1-0. Less than three minutes later, Brenden Weller got a breakaway, putting the second goal of the day right over the outstretched glove of the goalie to make it a 2-0 lead for Marshall. The teams would battle to a stalemate the rest of the period.

Just over six minutes into the second period, Lakes Area scored its first goal, cutting the tiger lead in half, but Frost would again find the back of the net at 9:55 in the second when his shot from the top of the faceoff circle was initially stopped by the Blizzard goalie, but managed to trickle in under his stick to put the Tigers back up by two, 3-1.

In the third period the two teams battled back and forth, neither being able to find the net until Marshall’s Hayden Guggisberg shot hit the goalie’s angled stick and clipped the top of the net to give the Tigers a 4-1 lead at 11:28. Henry Horvath took a pass from Frost and lifted a shot over the goalies shoulder, scoring the final goal of the game at 12:51, giving Marshall their first win of the season.

Carson Becker finished the game with 22 saves and the Tigers were able to kill five power plays in the game.

On Saturday, the Tigers found themselves down early to the Cardinals 2-0, but Weller cut the lead in half with an unassisted goal early in the first period, but Marshall was unable to mount any additional offense, giving up five goals in the second and four in the third to take the 12-1 loss.

Justin Dwire finished the game with 47 saves.

The Tigers will be in action again this Friday when they face Des Moines (Iowa) in pool play at the Albert Lea Pee Wee B Tournament.
