MANKATO — The No. 3 seed Marshall girls hockey team fell to No. 2 seed Mankato East 5-1 in the Section 3A semifinals on Wednesday.

Mankato East jumped out to an early lead in the first period with a goal 6:39 into the game before adding another score with six minutes left in the frame to take a 2-0 advantage. The Cougars then got another goal to make it 3-0, but Marshall answered back with a goal from Kaitlyn Timm on the assist from Tessa Gannott to draw to within two at 3-1 after the opening period.

But that was the closest Marshall would get, as the two teams went scoreless in the second before Mankato East scored on a power play and later an empty net in the third to bring it to the 5-1 final.

Mankato East outshot Marshall 46-32 on the game. Emma Klenken recorded 39 saves in net for Marshall.

With the loss, Marshall’s season comes to an end with a record of 11-8. Wednesday’s game was the final one for Marshall’s four seniors. They are Emmy Barker, Olivia Macchio, Timm and Klenken.
