No. 9 Allentown 7 No. 16 Notre Dame 3 The match up between the Colonial Valley’s two Top 20 did not disappoint as the first half of Allentown and Notre Dame was a defensive battle that left us knotted up at 1-1 at halftime.

Rutgers commit Marin Hartshorn led the Red Birds to a 7-3 victory and handed ND their first loss of the season thanks to a four goal performance. With the atmosphere feeling something like a playoff game rather than a regular season match, it wouldn’t be shocking to see these two meet come county or state tournament time.
