COUNCIL ROCK SOUTH 7, CENTRAL BUCKS WEST 5
--CR South Rallies Past CB West Behind Dillon’s Milestone Performance
The first half of the CB West at Council Rock South matchup was a defensive battle, with both teams showing grit and discipline. The Bucks took an early lead, scoring late in the first quarter and extending it to 2-0 with 4:30 remaining before halftime.
From that point on, the Golden Hawks found their rhythm. CR South tightened up defensively against a well-coached West squad and answered with two quick goals to level the score at 2-2 by halftime.
Fueled by that momentum, CR South took control in the third quarter. Senior Owen Dillon exploded for three of his game-high five goals and added two assists, surpassing the 100-goal mark for his career in the process. Junior goalie Billy Houser was outstanding in net, recording six of his twelve saves in the third to keep West scoreless during the quarter. CR South entered the fourth quarter with a 5-2 lead.
Junior Conor McCaffery added his second goal of the game in the fourth quarter, helping to seal the comeback win. LSM Brody Walker anchored the defense with four ground balls, while CR South’s faceoff specialist Jake Baniewicz went 50% at the X and collected three ground balls of his own.
