Live updates: Day 2 at the Girls Hockey Minnesota State Tournament
After the top seeds in Class A advanced to the state semifinals on Wednesday, the big schools have the spotlight with Thursday's Girls Hockey State Tournament quarterfinals. Here are the results and games to come...
In a stunner to start the tournament, No. 7 seed Rosemount upset the No. 2 seed Centennial/Spring Lake Park, avenging a 3-1 loss to the north metro power in the season opener.
Sophie Stramel put Rosemount up 1-0 in the second period and Annalee Holzer's second goal of the game in the third period put the Irish up 3-1. The star of the game was Gianna Marchese, who made 33 stops in goal for Rosemount.
Hill-Murray led 4-1 in the third period before Andover struck with consecutive goals from Maya Engler and Hannah Christenson to trim the deficit to one, but with an empty net the Pioneers sealed the victory when Emily Pohl carved a path behind the back of the net and scored to complete her hat trick.
Emily Pohl is a sophomore and her sister, Anna Pohl, who also scored in the game, is only an eighth-grader. They are the daughters of Gophers greats Johnny Pohl and Krissy Wendell-Pohl.
The top-ranked Hornets will look to repeat their 7-0 win over Farmington from earlier this season.
It's a rematch of the Dec. 27 holiday tournament meeting in which Moorhead left the Twin Cities with a 3-2 win over the Fire.
