Edina defeats top-seeded Hill-Murray for 2A hockey crown

March 10, 2013 at 5:17AM

Edina upset top-ranked and No. 1 seed Hill-Murray 4-2 to win the Class 2A boys' hockey state tournament title Saturday night at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

The victory counts as the eighth in Edina's history, plus three additional titles as Edina East.

Cullen Munson scored twice and Dylan Malmquist and Anthony Walsh each scored once for Edina, which trailed 1-0 early before roaring back to score the game's next four goals. Josh French scored both of the Pioneers' goals.

The game served as the storied programs' title-game rubber match. Edina won it all in 1988 and Hill-Murray evened the series in 2008.
