MARSHFIELD – Kellen Delaney had a hat trick and Alex Edwards had three assists to lift the Marshfield Columbus Catholic soccer team to a 6-1 rout of Three Lakes/Phelps in a WIAA Division 3 boys soccer regional final Saturday afternoon at Griese Park.

The regional championship is the eighth straight for the Dons, who improve to 8-2.

Delaney scored in eighth and 27th minutes, the first on a penalty kick and the second on an assist from Edwards, to put Columbus Catholic up 2-0.

That lead held until halftime, and Three Lakes/Phelps cut its deficit in half with a goal three minutes into the second half.

From there, it was all Dons.

Grant Olson, Delaney, Edwards and Jadon Nienast scored in an 11-minute span to break it open for the Dons.

Wyatt Drexler had eight saves in goal for Columbus.

Columbus Catholic will host Stevens Point Pacelli (3-5-2) in a sectional semifinal at 4 p.m. Thursday at Griese Park.
