The Falcons overcame the sweltering heat to earn a pair of wins at Twin Valley High School, downing Brandywine Heights in the opener and then rolling to a shutout win over the host team in the final.
In the Brandywine Heights game, Zach LoBasso turned an Obi Onhou pass into a goal in the 15th minute. That 1-0 lead stood until Nyles Kayemitte (Sam Beidle assist) scored in the 55th minute for the 2-0 final.
In the final against Twin Valley, LoBasso set the tone for a dominant performance with a goal in the 11th minute, using a Kayemitte assist. Seven minutes later, Josh Panaro (Onhous assist) found the net, and the LoBasso put the finishing touches on an overpowering nine-minute span, connecting for his team’s third goal in that span with an assist from Randy Dickersbach. Bernardo Olivaries closed out the scoring with a goal in the 28th minute, using a Matt Tennant assist.
“It was a total team effort,” coach Tom Stodart said. “We were great in the first 20 minutes of the final.”

NESHAMINY 2, HOLY GHOST PREP 0
The Redskins scored a pair of second-half goals, earning a shutout win in a non-league battle between the neighboring rivals.
“The first half was fairly even,” coach Tom Foley said. “No team really generated many chances.
“The second half we started connecting on a lot more of our passes and created really good opportunities.”
Jon Albarran put the Redskins on the scoreboard in the 68th minute.
“Off a corner kick, the ball came to Abarran about 25 yards from goal,” Foley said. “He launched a rock that beat the keeper cleanly.”
Two minutes later, sophomore Vincent McGynn scored the first goal of his career for the ‘Skins.
“He collected the ball at the top of the penalty area off a corner and bent the ball beautifully around the goalkeeper,” Foley said. “I thought the first half we were sluggish from yesterday’s match. In the second half, we found a rhythm and controlled the half.”
Neshaminy (2-0, 1-0 SOL) will be on the road at Abington on Tuesday.

NORTH PENN 8, DOCK MENNONITE ACADEMY 1
The Knights seized control of Saturday’s opener from the outset. Zoei Baines (Anna Pedicone assist) scored within the first minute and a minute later added her second goal, this one with an assist from Alexis Henderson. Amerlia Eshraghi’s goal spotted the Knights a 3-0 lead in the fifth minutes. By halftime, Jackie Galang (Marissa Werner assist), Werner (Liv Jerome assist) and Cynthia Sheehy (Isabelle Hughes) had each added a single goal, propelling the Knights to a commanding 6-0 lead.
Dock broke the Knights’ shutout bid when Mia Bevilacqua converted a penalty kick in the 63rd minute, but Galang (Julia Berry assist) and Sheehy found the net with their second goals for the 8-1 final.
“Several girls had multiple goals, but more importantly, it was the total team effort that helped earn the win,” coach Jim Dehner said. “Dock did not quit after giving up some early goals, which is a testament to their team and to their coaching.”
