Council Rock North 12, Methacton 7
Council Rock North had four players with at least two goals and that balance helped the Indians net a non-league win that upped their early season record to 3-0.
The Indians received hat tricks from Nate Lewis, Beckett Thompson and Luke Walstrom and another two goals from Peter Lehman. Eddie Fitzpatrick also found the net in the victory.
Lehman also contributed four assists while Walstrom had two helpers.
Goalie Robbie Kay, who has committed to play lacrosse at Bryn Athyn College, had 19 saves.
“We came in with a good game plan and the defense stuck with it,” said Council Rock North coach John Fitzpatrick, whose team led wire to wire. “Robbie Kay in goal was great. And our defense – Nick Murray, Max Harar and Patrick Slavcheff – shut down the Methacton attack. On offense, Luke Walstrom had a ton of ground balls.”
Council Rock North (3-0) will travel to Archbishop Wood on Monday for a non-league game.
Neshaminy 12, Springfield Township 6
Seven players had at least one goal in Neshaminy’s non-league victory over visiting Springfield Township on Thursday.

Dawson Obringer added a goal and two assists in the win while Charlie Potash and Ryan Maher had a goal apiece.
“Nick Donato was a force on attack and Dawson Obringer was a factor in all facets of the game,” Neshaminy coach John Donato said. “Dawson was winning at the faceoff X, scoring a goal with two assists, dominating ground balls, and playing strong defense at the midfield.”
Goalie Garrison Toto made 11 saves.
“Garrison was strong in goal and the long pole defense led by Preston Backhaus, and mates Doug Lang and Bobby Blum, held a dangerous Springfield offense in check most of the afternoon,” Donato said.
Paul Richardson had four goals for the Spartans while Dillon Donnelly and Wilson Krewson had one goal each.

Wissahickon 7, North Penn 6 (OT)
Wissahickon’s Jackson Intrieri tied the score midway through the final quarter and Owen Baim netted the game-winner in overtime to power the Trojans past the visiting Knights in a non-league game Thursday.
“We were down 6-4 entering the fourth quarter and the boys knew they had to start making plays,” Wissahickon coach Dan Layfield said. “And that's exactly what would happen over the next 15 minutes.”
Baim, who led the Trojans with four goals and two assists, got the comeback started after causing a turnover and leading a fast break which resulted in a Intrieri rocket goal into the upper corner to make it a one-goal game with just under eight minutes remaining.
Intrieri, who would finish with a hat trick, scored again about two minutes later to make it 6-6.
The Trojans would then nearly win the game in regulation, but North Penn goalie Byron Rimmer made a sprawling save in the closing seconds to force the overtime.
In the extra session, Baim would score off a feed from E.J. Schreiner (two assists) to secure the victory.
Goalie Scott Pfeiffer made seven saves in the victory and Matt Fritz won nine of 15 faceoffs.
Wissahickon (1-1) will be on the road at Holy Ghost Prep Saturday for a non-league contest, and North Penn (1-2) will travel to Emmaus on Saturday for a non-league game.
