SOL American Conference
SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP 9, WISSAHICKON 6

Resch credited the efforts of Richardson, Asman and defenseman Brian Maienshein for igniting the Spartans.
"We haven't beaten Wissahickon for a long time," the Spartans' coach said. "To beat Hatboro-Horsham too – they're both big schools where we generally have trouble athletically keeping up with them, so for them to beat teams like that is quite a thing."
