MARSHALL — The Marshall 12U girls had a fun weekend last weekend and brought home another championship trophy from Detroit Lakes.

On Friday, Marshall started the tournament against Dodge County with an 8-1 win. Ava Kolander opened up the first period with a goal and then scored again with an assist from Peyton Demuth. Demuth and Brooklyn Mauch each netted a goal to make it 4-0 before Demuth was assisted by Elsie Deutz and Kolander for a goal in the second period.

Starting out the third period, Mauch scored a goal before Brielle Felton-Krog found the back of the net on the assist by Kolander. Deutz then scored on the assist from Chevi Nyhammer-Atwell and Demuth.

On Saturday morning the team played strong against the St. Paul Capitals, earning a 4-0 win, with Mauch scoring all four goals. That evening they were defeated by Silver Bay 2-1 that put Marshall into the third seed.

On Sunday the girls fought their way through Minnesota Riverblades in a 6-0 win. Nyhammer-Atwell and Mauch were able to get the scoring started each with a goal. In the second period, Felton-Krog added another with an assist from Mauch before Mauch opened up the third period with a goal on the assist from Riley Anderson.

From their strong performance the girls earned their way into the championship game against Silver Bay.
