SOL American Conference
Wissahickon 11, New Hope Solebury 10
The Trojans came out strong, striking early with two quick goals from Kyle Intal and Colin Murphy, with Austin Myers adding an assist to spark the offense.
New Hope responded late in the first quarter when Brady Restaino scooped up a ground ball in front of the crease and finished, netting the first of his three goals on the day. The Lions began to find their rhythm at the faceoff X, highlighted by Colin Foster winning a draw and taking it straight to the cage for a goal. That momentum carried forward as New Hope rattled off three more unanswered goals to take a 4-2 lead.
Foster capitalized throughout the game, especially with Trojan faceoff specialist Nolan Reilly sidelined due to injury. He dominated the X, going 16-of-23 while also contributing four goals. After additional tallies from Restaino and Foster, the Trojans answered when Chase Comer found Murphy to cut into the deficit.
The second quarter turned into a back-and-forth battle. Link Matozzo finished on the doorstep off a Murphy assist to bring Wissahickon within one at 5–4. New Hope quickly answered with a goal from Isaiah Tousignant, but Intal responded almost immediately, continuing his hot streak with his fourth goal—marking his second consecutive game with four goals.
New Hope took advantage of a man-up opportunity with two Trojans in the penalty box, as Restaino converted to extend the Lions’ lead to 7–5. Wissahickon closed the half strong, however, capitalizing on an extra-man opportunity with Myers connecting with Comer to tighten the score heading into halftime.
In the second half, Wissahickon turned to freshman Casey Cloud at the faceoff X. Cloud was one of several freshmen making an impact, as six underclassmen between both teams saw meaningful varsity minutes. For New Hope, Lasky and Restaino stood out, while Cloud, Hugh Sterndale, Nic Etzler, and Brayden Dehner contributed for the Trojans. In his varsity debut, Cloud won four key faceoffs.
The Trojans opened the third quarter with goals from Intal and Murphy, but Foster answered on extra-man offense to tie the game at 8–8. From there, senior leaders Paulie Brogan and Matozzo stepped up, scoring pivotal goals to give Wissahickon a lead they would not relinquish.
Defense took center stage in the fourth quarter, with both goalies—Colt Catalano and Liam Ruhren—turning in outstanding performances, each recording 11 saves.
Wissahickon maintained possession late and held off New Hope to secure a hard-fought 11–10 victory in Suburban Conference play.
