ABINGTON 4, PLYMOUTH WHITEMARSH 3
Sparked by a pair of third-period goals by Sam Paulik, the Ghosts rallied from a 3-2 deficit to edge the Colonials in a spirited American Conference battle. Paulik’s hat trick led the conference-leading Ghosts.
PW opened up a 2-0 lead in the opening period, thanks to goals by David Branigan (Matthew Flynn assist) and Dylan Novitski (Conlan Carpenter/Branigan assists). Paulik’s goal with assists from Carpenter and Matthew Kramer in the final minute of the period made it a 2-1 game after one period.
Kramer’s power play goal with assists from Ian Heydt and Ryan Portner 8:56 into the second period knotted the score, but less than a minute later, Jeffrey Mencken scored for the Colonials, using assists from Charles Spause and Carpenter.
That 3-2 lead evaporated in the third period. Paulik turned a Kramer pass into the equalizer midway through the half, and Paulik found the net with a goal that turned out to be the game-winner 11:06 into the period with a Carpenter assist.
Abington goalie Devin Brown turned away 27 of 30 shots in a winning effort. PW’s Christopher Maslij was credited with 29 saves.
