Grant Reichenbacher and Carter Hottmann each scored twice to lead Madison Edgewood past Middleton 6-1 in the Sectional 6 title game at the Sun Prairie Ice Arena on a seasonably warm Saturday night.

Edgewood—who scored twice in each of the three periods—is making its first trip to the state tournament since 2010.

Reichenbacher scored on a rebound with just over four minutes left in the opening stanza to give Edgewood a 1-0 lead. Hottmann and Blake Richter earned assists on the play.

Just 23 seconds later, Jack Royer notched a goal to make it 2-0 Crusaders, with Bryce Ternus getting credit for a helper on the score.

The period ended with that score, and each goalie having eight saves in the period. Tony Wuesthofen started for Middleton; Mr. Hockey candidate Tommy Mohs was in net for Edgewood.

Middleton cut the lead in half early in the second period.

Casey Harper scored from the low left circle just 1:16 into the period, with an assist going to Jordan Hylbert to make it 2-1.

A couple minutes later, a shot by a Middleton forward went bar-up instead of bar-down and the score stayed 2-1. One minute later, Richter had a chance in the slot but his shot went wide to the right.

Fifteen seconds later, Fred Richards was successful from the slot to make it 3-1, Edgewood. Reichenbacher had an assist on the play.

Hottmann scored from the right dot with just over five minutes remaining to give Edgewood a 4-1 lead, with an assist to Reichenbacher.

The period ended with Mohs making 13 saves for the Crusaders and Wuesthofen stopping three shots for the Cardinals.
