ONALASKA — The Marshfield boys soccer team closed out its regular-season schedule with a 3-2 loss to Onalaska at the Omni Center on Saturday.
After falling behind 2-0 in the first half, Marshfield rallied to the tie the game on back-to-back goals from Evan Weister and Kyle Tremelling during a 4½-minute stretch late in the second half.
However, Onalaska’s Zak Turner scored with 8:45 to go to push the Hilltoppers to the win.
Tommy Olson had seven saves in goal for the Tigers (4-13-1).
“I was pleased by how we played the last 30 minutes of the game, but we need to bring that intensity and control for a full 90, and we will be successful,” Marshfield coach Steve McCann said.
Marshfield will learn its playoff opponent on Sunday. The WIAA playoffs begin Thursday.
