COUNCIL ROCK SOUTH 8, PENNRIDGE 7 (OT)
(Reprinted from Wednesday, Feb. 7)
This was a game for the ages, living up to its advance billing and then some.
And it took overtime to determine a winner in a battle of the SHSHL’s top squads at Grundy Ice. Rock South won it with 4:34 remaining in OT when Nikita Volobuiev connected on his fourth goal of the night, this one unassisted for the thrilling game-winner.
The win avenged a 7-3 loss to the Rams on Dec. 13 and gives Rock South a half game lead in the standings with a 16-1 record while Pennridge is 15-1-1.
The action was fast and furious in an opening period that saw the two teams combine for seven goals.

Andrew Savona opened the scoring with a goal three-and-a-half minutes into the game, using assists from Shane Dachowski and Kevin Pico. Less than a minute later, Gavin Nisenzon answered with the equalizer, connecting on a power play goal with assists from Jake Weiner and Chase Tovsky.
A pattern was being established early in a contest that saw the two SHSHL powerhouses exchange best shots.

It took just 47 seconds for the Rams to regain the lead on a power play goal by Dachowski (Pico assist). Volobuiev began his productive outing with a goal to even the score just over a minute later– this one with an Illia Mukhin assist, and less than seven minutes into the game, the score was deadlocked 2-2.
Midway through the period, Mukhin gave Rock South its first lead with a goal assisted by Ilya Kudzinau and Volobuiev. Savona turned a James Rush pass into the equalizer with 2:46 remaining in the period only to see Volobuiev (Peter Pereborow and Jordan Sarne assists) respond with a goal to send Rock South into the second period with a 4-3 lead.
Pennridge evened the score less than a minute into the second period when John Mikulich found the net, using assists from Pico and Savona. Seventeen seconds later, another goal by Savona (Colin Dachowski and Shane Dachowski assists) – this one on the power play - gave Pennridge a 5-4 advantage. 
But not for long.
With 11:30 remaining in the period, Tovsky (Pepe assist) evened the score, a 5-5 tie that stood until Gavin Nisenzon connected using a Kevin Koles assist with 19 seconds remaining. That was more than enough time for Pennridge to even the score as Pico scored with 10 seconds remaining, using assists from Shane Dachowski and Savona.
The two teams went into the final period deadlocked 6-6, and in a period that saw both teams take 14 shots, the respective defenses stood tall as each team managed just one goal. Volobuiev scored an unassisted goal less than three minutes into the period, and Pico (Colin Dachowski assist) knotted the score less than three minutes later. Neither team scored again until Volovuiev’s game-winner.
Pennridge held a 43-39 edge in shots.  Trey Prozzillo earned the win in goal, turning away 21 of 23 shots he faced. Trevor Rakszawski was credited with 15 saves. Pennridge’s Jacob Winton had 36 saves.
Savona (3g,2a) and Pico (2g,3a) both had five-point games to lead the Rams while Shane Dachowski (1g,3a) had a four-point night. Volobuiev’s five-point game (4g,1a) led a balanced Rock South attack.

COUNCIL ROCK NORTH 8, SOUDERTON 7 (OT)
Nicholas Hahn turned a pass from Daniel Maglathlin into a goal with 4:35 remaining in overtime, propelling CR North to the dramatic overtime win at Hatfield Ice. Making the win even more impressive is the fact that the visiting Indians found themselves on the short end of a 4-1 score early in the second period and still trailed 5-3 heading into the final period when they rallied to go on top 7-6. Souderton needed a goal from Nicholas Smith with 1:25 remaining in regulation to send the game to OT.
Hahn (4g,1a) and Jackson Accardi (3g,2a) led Rock North with five-point games, and Daniel Maglathlin had a four-point game (1g,3a). Rock North goalie Ian Goldberg negated a 46-26 Souderton advantage in shots with a 39-save effort between the pipes.

Souderton led 4-1 after a power play goal by Smith with a Benjamin Fadden assist three-and-a-half minutes into the period. Rock North answered with back-to-back goals by Accardi – the second assisted by Hahn on the power play. Ryon’s power play goal with assists from Grossman and Fadden gave Souderton a 5-3 lead.
The third period kept fans on the edge of their seats. Hahn scored a minute into the period with assists from Maglathlin and Ryan Keil. Cameron Fairweather (Matthew Cross and Fadden assists) answered for Souderton only to see Rock North reeled off three straight goals. Hahn found the net with assists from Accardi and Maglathlin, Maglathlin scored a power play goal with an Accardi assist, and then it was Accardi scoring a short-handed goal to put the visitors on top 7-6.
