(Article submitted by CB East lacrosse)
The CB East Patriots traveled to North Penn for a Friday afternoon SOL National Conference showdown. The majority of the first quarter was dominated by the defense from both teams until Jacob Manion put the Patriots on the scoreboard with a nifty wrap-around goal at the 1:26 mark. A short 37 seconds later, Ryan Stout scored on an aggressive move to the cage to give the Patriots a 2-0 lead after the first quarter. Ryan Bullota scored two goals at the 10:30 and 9:47 mark of the second quarter to give the Patriots a four-goal lead. The Knights and Patriots (goal by Collin Stein) would then trade single goals, which resulted in a 5-1 Patriots lead at the half.
The second half started similar to the first until Stout’s goal at the 6:51 mark of the third quarter gave East a 6-1 edge. North Penn scored with 10 seconds left to make it 6-2 going into the final period. Fourth period goals by Michael Ott and Stout rounded out the scoring for the Patriots en route to an 8-3 victory over a hustling, hard-working North Penn squad.
Ott won nine face-offs and led the Patriots with nine ground balls, and East goalie Liam Rosenthal recorded 10 saves in the win.
Stein and John Galow both were credited with three ground balls while Jake Kueny had a pair. Drew Bethke, Evan Bullotta and Stout had one each.
