Plymouth Whitemarsh 9, West Chester East 5
There was beautiful weather today for PW to host a strong and well-coached West Chester East lacrosse program. It was back and forth lacrosse for four quarters. PW was able to get out in front in the first quarter and continued to work hard for four quarters.
The offense focused on maintaining possession and looking for offensive looks to get hands free for quality shots. PW had multiple goal scorers with Drew Strohl getting the offense going with five goals, three groundballs, and one assist. Dylan Ippolito had three goals, five groundballs, one assist, and one caused turnover. As well as Jack Cooper having an additional goal.
When the ball was one the ground, PW did everything they could to pick it up with Kai Silverman (6/9) and Fadl Greene (3/8) having strong performances at the face-off X. In totality, PW picked up twenty-two groundballs on the day with Sean Herron having five and Dylan Ippolito with four.
The PW defense had a strong performance today keeping West Chester East to five goals. The defense played as a cohesive unit with PW Goalie Mason Best standing tall with eleven saves. Zach Strohl, Gavin Best, and Luke Smith had a combined seven groundballs, and four caused turnovers to help PW battle through a tough West Chester East offense.
By the numbers: Drew Strohl (5G, 1A, 3GB), Dylan Ippolito (3G, 1A, 5GB, 1CT), Jack Cooper (1G), Sean Herron (1A, 5GB, 2CT), Owen Cababe (1A, 2GB, 2CT), Nolan Schneider (1A), Zach Strohl (4GB, 3CT), Gavin Best-(1GB, 1CT), Luke Smith (1GB), Kai Silverman (6/9 face-offs), Fadl Greene (3/8 faceoffs), Mason Best (11 saves)
Plymouth Whitemarsh coach Ryan Bonanni:
"Our program players have been facing adversity over the past few weeks, and we knew that we had to go out there today and put together four quarters of lacrosse to compete. It was a back-and-forth contest, and we knew that we had to work hard as a team to compete with a well-coached and always strong West Chester East Lacrosse Program. West Chester East never gave up, and we wish them all the very best during their season. As we have a lot of work to do, I am extremely proud of our program players today.”

Central Bucks East 8, Wissahickon 7
(Submitted by Wissahickon lax)
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.
