• Section 2 semifinals: Senior forward Henry Bowlby scored twice to lead No. 2-ranked Edina, the two-time defending Class 2A state champion, past Bloomington Jefferson 7-2 on Saturday.

The Hornets (23-1-2) led 2-0 after the first period, then erupted for four goals in the second — including two on power plays in the closing 2 minutes, 15 seconds — and led 6-0 heading into the third.

Bowlby, who has committed to St. Lawrence, opened the scoring less than four minutes into the first when he jammed a loose puck past Jefferson goaltender Josh Waldron. Bowlby put Edina up 3-0 with 10:42 left in the second when he backhanded a shot into the upper right corner off a pass from the point from defenseman Sam Fuss.

Bowlby and linemates Matt Masterman (one goal, one assist) and Casey Dornbach (three assists) were on the ice for four of Edina's goals. A.J. Robbel and Charlie Straus scored for the Jaguars in the third period.
