The first quarter was a defensive battle ending with Wissahickon on top by 1. North Penn came alive in the second, scoring 4 unanswered goals. Despite that goal differential, the Trojan boys did not give up. Wissahickon scored three in the third quarter, but North Penn scored four. The third quarter ended with North Penn winning by a score of 9-5. Once again, however, the Trojan boys fought back hard.

Offensively for the Trojans, Luke Waechter was on fire scoring 7 of the Trojan goals on a season record 18 shots on goal. Jake Berring and Ben Tumulo scored one goal each. Defensvively, Alex Bolen played an awesome game with 7 steals. Luke Tarzia and Danny Knoll contributed 4 steals each. Mac Hennessey had a solid game, as usual, with 16 saves, five of which came in the final quarter to keep Wissahickon in the game. Some mental mistakes (ie turnovers) hurt the Trojans, but it was a great overall performance. Boys, you can BEAT North Penn !!
