MARSHFIELD – The Marshfield girls soccer team took care of business from the start, scoring four goals in the first seven minutes en route to a 10-0 shutout of Antigo in a WIAA Division 2 regional semifinal Tuesday at Griese Park.

Nina Hashimoto scored four goals and assisted on three others as the Tigers controlled the game throughout.

Marshfield pulled out to a 7-0 lead by halftime and outshot the Red Robins (0-12) 31-0.

Kate Schilling added a hat trick, Courtney Meyer had three assists, and Jenna Asplin scored twice late in the second half. Paige Preston also had a goal and an assist for the Tigers.

“The offense kept up the pressure all game long, with Kate and Nina doing what they do well, which is score goals,” Marshfield coach Steve Lindner said. “Jenna Asplin, who moved to striker midway through the season, responded with her first two varsity goals.

“With seven players recording at least one point, it was a nice way to start the playoff run. We need to ratchet it up moving forward as East will be tough to beat playing them for a third time. We are very focused at the task at hand and truly believe in ourselves.”

Marshfield (11-7-2) will host Wausau East (6-8-1) at 2 p.m. Saturday at Griese Park in a Division 2 regional final. The two teams tied 2-2 on April 23 and Marshfield won 3-1 on May 16 in Wisconsin Valley Conference action this season.
