Less than a minute later, it’s Sondker passing to Paul Knox who fakes and then fires a shot as he’s falling away that bounces in. The Co-Op leads 5-1 at the half.
Third Quarter
Central looks to cut into the lead. Dean Scott with the beautiful spin move to get a look at the net, but goalie Ethan Delby gets a stick on it and collects the ball for the save.
The Valley really got their offense going in this quarter after a bit of a slow start. Some great passing before Jake Meyer whips the ball to the back of the net. They’re up 7-1.
Max Paukstis tries to weave his way through the Redhawk defense. His shot is off, but the ball bounces right to Caiden Atwater who goes top shelf for another score.
The Valley offense continues to have success in the third as it’s Jake Meyer to Tyler Sondker for the goal. They take an 11-2 advantage into the fourth.
