WAUSAU – Darian Molter had her second-straight four-goal game, including the game-winner in the second overtime, as the Marshfield girls soccer team defeated Wausau West 4-3 on Thursday at West High School.
The win gives Marshfield third place in the Wisconsin Valley Conference with a 7-4-1 record (10-6-1 overall). West falls to 7-7-1 and 6-6 in the Valley.
Christina Johnson scored just 3:09 into the game to put the Warriors on top early.
Marshfield finally knotted the score at 1-1 when Molter headed in a corner kick from Walker Guzowski at the 36-minute mark.
Jessy Wiskofske scored twice in the first 7 minutes of the second half to put West back on top. She scored just 52 seconds into the half, then added another at the 47:03 mark to make it 3-1.
Molter scored on a crossing pass from Julia Urban at the 54-minute mark, then added the game-tying goal with 17:02 remaining on a breakaway set up by an Ali Gruen pass.
Neither team could muster a goal in the first 10-minute overtime and Marshfield had the wind in the second OT. A scrum following a corner kick by Guzowski led to Molter’s game winner as the West goalie tried grabbing the ball outside the 6-yard box.
Megan Marotz, Courtney Thuman, Macey Staab and Guzowski, as well as the Tigers’ midfielders led the defensive charge as they held West scoreless for the final 47 minutes.
Marshfield concludes its regular-season schedule will host Superior in a WIAA Division 1 regional semifinal on May 30 at Griese Park beginning at 5 p.m.
