After Monday’s 7-0 semifinal win over No. 6 Owen J. Roberts, the No. 2 and reigning champion Pennridge Rams (16-5) will earn the chance to defend the 2A Flyers Cup against No. 5 Pennsbury.
Shane Dachowski had a hat trick, giving him seven goals in the Flyers Cup, and Jacob Winton turned away all 28 Wildcat shots. Two Ram goals were short handed.

Pennridge defeated No. 10 Neshaminy 4-2 in the quarterfinals after Winton saved 29 shots while Kevin Pico and Dachowski each recorded a three-point game. The Rams dispatched No. 15 Lower Merion 9-2 in the first round.
