SOUDERTON 10, COUNCIL ROCK NORTH 9
Souderton took what appeared to be a commanding 9-5 lead into the third period of Friday’s game against Rock North. It turned out to be anything but secure as the host Indians rallied and pulled to within one with 40 seconds remaining after a goal by Ryan Keil (Ivan Bondra assist). Souderton held on to eke out the win in a wild one at Bucks County Ice.
Nicholas Smith scored four goals and added an assist to lead the visiting Indians. He opened the game with back-to-back goals – the first unassisted and the second with a Jackson Kelly assist. A goal by Maxwell Ryon (Cameron Fairweather) gave Souderton a 3-0 lead midway through the opening period.
Rock North’s Nicholas Hahn scored with a Jackson Accardi assist only to see Smith answer with back-to-back goals to give Souderton a 5-1 advantage – the first with a Matthew Cross assist.
Accardi scored with an Ivan Bondra assist with 1:19 remaining in the period to make it a 5-2 game, That lead disappeared in a hurry when Hahn (Ryan Keil assist), Accardi (Michael Booth/Keil assists) and Keil (Hahn assist) opened the second period with three unanswered goals to knot the score.
Souderton responded with four straight goals of its own – the first two by Ryon and then single goals from Matthew Malanga and Cameron Fairweather. The visiting Indians took that 9-5 lead into the final period.
Drew Bordon and Hahn each scored a single to make it a 9-7 game with 12:18 remaining. Malanga temporarily stemmed the tide with a goal with 6:42 remaining, using a Drew Savarese assist. Rock North came roaring back with goals by Michael Booth and Keil to pull to within one, but that’s as close as the host Indians would get.
Souderton held a 34-29 advantage in shots. Connor Paulus earned the win in goal (20 saves).

James Rush turned a Jared Garber pass into a goal with 6:05 remaining in regulation, propelling the Rams to a hard-fought win over a young Falcon squad in a classic
