Illia Mukhin’s two goals propelled Council Rock South past Pennridge 5-3 in a Feb. 1 Suburban High School Hockey League game at Hatfield Ice.
Mukhin’s first goal of the evening gave the Golden Hawks a 3-2 lead at the end of the first period and his second score at 9:36 in the third period put the Golden Hawks up 4-2 before South’s Chase Tovsky salted the game away with an even-strength goal with under seven minutes left in regulation. Pennridge tacked on an empty-net goal for the game’s final tally, 5-3.
