Wissahickon 12, Central Bucks West 5
After a close first quarter, the Trojans defense was nearly airtight the rest of the way in their second straight win over an SOL foe.
Wiss led just 4-3 at the close of the opening period, but the defense held the Bucks to just two more goals the rest of the game. The defensive unit of Jake Licata, Quinn Fonash, Joseph Connolly, Matthew Bauer and Matthew Slovin were able to slow West while goalie Andrew Beans turned away 10 shots.
Offensively, Kyle Lehman contributed nine points with a five-goal, four-assist night to pace Wissahickon. Sam Baker added a hat trick, Nick Donofrio scored two, Gavin Myers scored one and aided two others, Jason Michael contributed a goal and assist, and Jake Slackman slipped in a helper.
The faceoff X was a good battle between both teams. Wissahickon’s Dominic Kemper was 10-of-12 while West’s Matt Jacobsen was a stellar 9-of-12 and Cole Gnutti 3-of-8.
West had five different scorers – Austin Hahn, Matt Jacobsen, Zach Martine, Sam Greenberg, Joe Perry – while Brayden Albrecht chalked up three assists.
Will Shandlay also tallied 10 saves in goal for the Bucks.
Wissahickon (4-3, 1-0 SOL) will travel to William Tennent on Tuesday, and Central Bucks West (4-6, 3-1) will host New Hope-Solebury on Thursday.

Hatboro-Horsham 9, Neshaminy 5
A nearly perfect day on the X by David Benjamin and a strong first half pushed the Hatters to a win on Wednesday.
Benjamin was a sterling 15-of-17 on faceoffs and did a little more than that by contributing three assists. Min Lee paced the HH offense with five goals with plenty of balance around him as Alex Cerminara, Max Mariano, Nate Phillips and Sam Fink all scored a goal.
Fink added an assist, as did Conor Davis to go with a caused turnover. Brendan Kim stopped 14 shots in goal while Hunter Long led the defense with two caused turnovers.
For Neshaminy, Lucas Maher had two goals and Patrick Courtney added two assists. Liam Ames scored a goal and aided another while Colin Demi and Jack McVey also found the back of the net.
Hatboro-Horsham (5-2, 1-2 SOL) will be on the road at Plymouth Whitemarsh on Tuesday, and Neshaminy (3-4, 0-2) will host Central Bucks South on Tuesday.
