Beniek added another tally as part of the five-goal second period as No. 2-seeded Breck (17-10-1) defeated Marshall 9-2 behind six different goal scorers in the Class 1A quarterfinal Wednesday at Xcel Energy Center.

Beniek’s first goal came 25 seconds into Breck’s first power play. She fired a shot from the slot, leading to the rebound. Getting those one-time shots has been a season-long motivation, according to coach Ronda Engelhardt.

“I whiffed on my one-timers in the beginning of the season, so we’ve been working on that,” Beniek said.

Sophomore Olivia Mobley scored back-to-back goals for a 3-0 Breck lead. Gabby Billing scored with 1.9 seconds left in the second period and had three assists. Senior Luci McGlynn also scored a pair of goals for the Mustangs. 

“We can count on all three lines to put the puck in the net,” Engelhardt said. 

Junior Sydney Mauch and senior Courtney Mauch scored for Marshall (17-11-0) in the third period. The Mustangs outshot the Tigers 54-15 in the game. 

“Their (Breck’s) communication was so effective with each other, that they just played so consistently with each other,” Marshall coach Deanna Suby said. “That gave them the jump over us.”
