"This was the signature win that we've been looking for all season. Credit to Norristown and their forward players, #11 and #7 were dangerous the entire game, we had to account for them constantly. One of our biggest areas of concern this season had been our ability to create and finish chances, the boys were up to the task today. Senior Dan Hurst notched a goal and an assist and has been a huge asset for us at the center forward role. I've been consistently impressed with our underclassmen, Freshmen Kevin Di Marco, who scored his second of the season, Finn Lafferty, Matt Guie and Sophomore Nolan Schneider were all influential in the win. Bashiru Adams has been looking for a goal all season, it was only fitting that he scored the goal to tie the game and the OT game winner. Huge credit to Senior right-back Andrew Daoud, his two assists off of big throw-ins were a huge asset. At the back, Seniors Jackson Budin, Jake Steinberg, and Ethan O'Connell were a big part of our win today. Senior Goal Keeper Logan Brock was also influential, recording 5 saves off of Norristown's 10 shots.
