By Kyle Morhardt for SuburbanOneSports.com
Hatboro-Horsham hosted Garnet Valley for its opening game of the spring season. After just one quarter, the Hatters trailed 3-1 with their single goal by Dylan Cellini. The second quarter did not help the Hatters’ cause as Garnet Valley capitalized on several won face-offs and a significant shot discrepancy. Garnet Valley led 7-1 at halftime.
The second half was better for the Hatters but not good enough to overturn the deficit, and the game finished 15-7 in favor of the away team. The Jaguars held a 35-28 advantage in shots.
Hatboro-Horsham’s goals were scored by Pierre Armstrong (2), Owen Winters, Bryan Remaily, Logan Eldridge, Cameron Knox and Dylan Cellini.
