“Pennsbury is always such a talented program year in and year out which makes this so special, I respect them and how they are coached as well.”
Rabberman credited the standout performance of Jenn Krzeminski.

“Maddy Morrow had a great night from the service line and added a great defensive effort too! It was just an all around victory tonight, everyone played a part at different points! I am really proud of them!"
