Hashimoto scored at the 13:08 mark, with Thompson countering 20 minutes later and the score was tied 1-1 going into halftime.
Hashimoto put Marshfield up briefly with a goal in the 56th minute before Thompson tied it again with a goal at the 62:11 mark. Neither team scored in the final 27 minutes and the game ended in a tie.
Marshfield is now 3-5-1 overall and 1-3-1 in the Wisconsin Valley Conference, while East falls to 2-0-1 overall and 1-0-1 in conference play.
Mikayla Brueggen had eight saves in goal for the Tigers.
“It was a tough, physical game and both teams really left it all on the field,” Marshfield coach Steve Lindner said. “Playing four straight games with no practices finally caught up to us as we have had too many injuries and players player somewhat out of position. But, in their defense, their responded well and have done a nice job stepping up.”
Marshfield is at Wausau West on Thursday.
