PENNSBURY: Falcons get a piece of the Rock—and more

Pennsbury posts convincing win over the Indians

With Pennsbury's Shawn Caven controlling the faceoffs all day (15-2) April 13 at Council Rock North, the Falcons broke out of the gate quickly with two goals in the first minute of play on their way to a resounding road win over the Indians.
The end result was 10-3 triumph for Pennsbury, a good way to get back into Suburban One National conference play after a three-week break.
Falcons first attackman Peter Sweetland broke the ice, dodging 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, the Falcons 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 Falcon 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 faceoff and drove to the net. After drawing the defensive slide, Caterson fed Kenneth Warren, who drilled his second goal of the game for an 8-0 Falcon lead.
The 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 Pennsbury goalie's left hip for the Rock’s first score of the day and an 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.
For the Falcons, the win pushes Pennsbury to 4-5 for the year and 2-0 in the Suburban One National conference, while the Rock falls to 3-3 on the year and 0-1 in the Suburban One National conference.
