After a three week break, the Pennsbury Falcons boys lacrosse team resumed conference play in the Suburban One National with a visit to the hosting Council Rock North Indians. With Pennsbury's Shawn Caven controlling the face-offs all day (15-2), the Falcons broke out of the gate quickly with two goals in the first minute of play. First attackman Peter Sweetland dodged from behind the cage for an unassisted score. Seconds later, freshman Evan Caterson also won a draw which was picked up by long pole middie Dan Marr who found attackman Kenneth Warren open for the second goal of the day.

With Pennsbury continuing to control the ball offensively, they added to their lead with middie Shawn Caven scoring on an extra man opportunity, attackman Calvin Hopkins scoring unassisted, and Shawn Caven again scoring on a 'man up' play on a cross-crease pass from Kenneth Warren.

The second quarter saw the Pennsbury team continue their take-away defense and offensive ball control. Calvin Hopkins picked up a ground ball off a CR North save of a Peter Sweetland shot, and fed the ball back to Sweetland for the second chance goal. Three minutes later, middie Rick Jutkiewicz picked up the ground ball following a CR North save of a Shawn Caven shot and rifled it into the back of the net.. The Falcons extended the lead seconds later when Evan Caterson again won a face-off and drove to the net. After drawing the defensive slide, he fed Kenneth Warren who drilled his second goal of the game for a 8-0 Falcon lead.

The CR North Indians got onto the board following a defensive penalty on the Falcons. CR North attackman Doug Reiner found middie Tyler Shablin open, who ripped a shot off the PHS goalie's left hip for their first score of the day and a 8-1 halftime score.

The Falcons resumed their scoring ways when Calvin Hopkins found a cutting Tim Considine over the middle, who ripped a shot into the lower left corner of the cage. A minute later, Kenneth Warren found a ground ball, dodged and drew the slide, then squeezed a pass to fellow attackman Calvin Hopkins who converted for the Falcons final goal of the day. The Indians gave notice that they were not done for the day and fought back for two more goals – the first by Doug Rheiner on an extra man opportunity (assisted by Pat Sweet) and the next by attackman Chris Gifford on a 'shake and bake' dodge from behind the cage.

The final stanza saw the Falcon defense hold off sustained pressure from the CR North offense and the Pennsbury offense ice the ball for the final two minutes to seal the victory.

The win puts PHS at 4-5 for the year and 2-0 in the Suburban One National conference, while the CR North Indians are 3-3 on the year and 0-1 in the Suburban One National conference
