SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP 8, NORTH PENN 7
The Spartans just might have the corner of the market on one-goal games with three of their last four games decided by one goal.
On Monday, the Spartans trailed by one heading into the final period. They kept the visiting Knights off the scoreboard and rallied to take the lead with three minutes remaining on a goal by Cameron Dennis to eke out the win in another thriller.
“It was a great win,” Springfield coach Hank Resch said. “North Penn is a good team with a good coach. It was a very nice win for us.”
The Spartans led 4-3 after one quarter and took a 5-4 advantage into halftime. The Knights rallied to go on top 7-6 heading into the fourth period when the Spartans turned up the defense and scored a pair of goals.
“Our goalie and our defense played really well,” Resch said of defensemen Brendan Donnelly, Michael Matthews and Gavin Delarso and goalie Patrick McMann. “Our three seniors midfielders – Cameron Dennis, Trey DuBose and Alex Vecchione – had played great all year.”
Dennis connected for a hat trick to lead the Spartans.
For the Knights, Declan Lanier and Jake Dolan each contributed two goals and an assist. Dakari Luby had one goal and two assists while Caleb Moister added one goal and one assist. Connor Toussaint added a single goal while and Ryan McCann had an assist.
