The Central Bucks East Patriots struck first in the opening quarter when Jackson Jagoda showed great awareness, corralling a tipped pass and finishing into the back of the net. Just three minutes later, the Trojans responded as Kyle Intal dodged and scored to even things up.
Austin Myers then gave the Trojans the edge late in the first quarter, finishing off an assist from Tyler Moore to take the lead into the break.
The second quarter belonged to Ryan Williams, who scored back-to-back goals—one coming off a feed from Jagoda—to put the Patriots back in front. The game quickly turned into a back-and-forth battle, with Intal netting his second goal to tie the score once again. A few minutes later, Nolan Reilly added one of his two goals on the day. Reilly also dominated at the faceoff X, winning 15 of 19 draws and collecting an impressive 13 ground balls.
The third quarter was controlled by the Patriots, led by Ben Winward and Colin Campbell. Winward tallied two goals, while Campbell added another off a sharp assist from Winward. After three unanswered goals by Central Bucks East, Link Matozzo answered for the Trojans to keep the game within reach.
Opening the fourth quarter, Reilly sparked the Trojans with a coast-to-coast faceoff win and goal to even the score yet again. The Patriots quickly responded, as Campbell buried a step-down shot to regain the lead.
Penalties played a role down the stretch, and the Trojans capitalized on an extra-man opportunity when Moore found the back of the net to tie the game. However, it was Central Bucks East’s Aiden Zimmer who delivered the decisive moment, scoring the game-winning goal off a feed from Williams.
Both goalies turned in strong performances, with junior Alex Sipperly recording seven saves for Central Bucks East, while Wissahickon junior Liam Ruhren made eight stops in a solid effort.
By the numbers: Wissahickon: Kyle Intal (2g, 2gbs), Nolan Reilly (2g, 10gbs, 15/19 FaceOff), Austin Myers (1g, 1a, 2gbs), Tyler Moore (1g, 1a, 1gb), Link Matozzo (1g), Murphy (2a, 4gbs), Charlie Hussa (4gbs, 2 CTO), Quinn McClintic (3gbs, 2 CTO) Chase Comer (2gbs) Henry Kang (1 CTO, 3gbs), Liam Ruhren (8 saves, 90% Clears)
Props:“Our clears (90%) and rides are improving each game, allowing us to gain valuable possessions on the offensive side. It’s always great to see two solid coaches, Bruce Garcia (CBE) and Dave Sowers (Wiss), go to work on the sidelines. There are a lot of wins between those two.”
Up next: CBE will host Plymouth Whitemarsh Tuesday (4/7) SOL Crossover matchup. The Trojans look to get back on track against a traveling Abington Heights 5pm Wednesday 4/8.

It looked as though the Hatters might be on their way to a rout after jumping out to a 5-0 lead after one quarter, but the Redskins – who trimmed the Hatters’ lead to two by halftime - had other ideas and made things very interesting in the second half.
