The heavy rains and high winds our area experienced over the weekend caused high water in local streams, and brought attention to areas the may need attention in the future. What they did not do, according to emergency management
photos of streams in the areas he covers, pointed out how severe storms are becoming more common. “These photos are a good reminder to folks to use these high-water events as indicators of what may go wrong the next time it rains heavily. As our climate warms, scientists predict

Over my years of writing for The Journal-Herald, I have been at the scene of a variety of fires, more often than not after all the big flames are out and our trained volunteers are in the process of hosing down what continues to smolder. For the recent house fire in White Haven, I arrived as firefighters cycled through the smoky building with airpacks on.
I watched more closely and saw that a relay was underway with empty air bottles taken to the nearby White Haven Volunteer Fire Company (WHVFC), and (heavier) full bottles coming up in return. This was the work of the WHVFC’s Cascade air filling system, recently upgraded as the company also built its new home. I remember the new system as another expensive firefighting tool but seeing it in action was impressive sweat and hustle for the teams entering the smoke-filled buildings providing them with fresh air in a ‘bottle’ carried in on their backs. They served not only their own members, but also the Mutual Aid companies that came out to answer the alarm.
So first, a general “well done” to all the firefighters, and an important “thank you” to the WHVFC officers who found the funds for this firefighting tool. Thank you as well to White Haven Borough Council for allocated some of its American Rescue Plan funding to this vital piece of equipment.
No one had to wait around for more oxygen before entering the building. This piece of equipment may have saved the block.

This issue celebrated 40 years of Jay and Clara Holder being publishers of weekly newspapers. They had bought The Journal from her maternal grandfather, Walter C. Taylor, on May 1 of 1954, who had published The Journal for more than 53 years.
“At the time, we had graduated from Ursinus College (Jay as a history major, Clara as an English major) and been married for just a few years. We knew nothing about printing and not much about newspapers.
“We learned.
“In 1954, we set type into hot metal and printed the paper on an antique flatbed press. In 1978, we started having it printed elsewhere… Now the typesetting is computerized.
“In 1981 we purchased The Weatherly Herald and merged the two papers as The Journal-Herald.
“Over a year ago, our sonin-law Seth Isenberg joined us as general manager, and now our daughter Ruth Isenberg is taking a more active role in the paper…
“Through it all, including some trying times, the main thing that has kept us going was the loyal local support we have always received. Once again, thank you.”

that weather patterns will change where some will see more wet weather, others, drier. No one really knows
how or where these changes will take place, but the scientists who dedicate their lives to studying these things all agree that it will happen. As we may experience more severe storms in the future, with greater frequency, we should use these events like the Sunday night’s rain to learn what to expect and where to be more prepared the next time it pours.
“If you are aware of recurring road or bridge damage, or damage to private property, that occurs during these heavy events, please report them to your elected officials so your community can be better prepared to deal with them in the future.”
When asked if the heavy rains meant the danger of forest fires was over, Zweibel was emphatic about his disagreement.
“I DO NOT think the fire risk is over. Looking out into the woods from my home office right now, all I see is leaves on the forest floor. While it will be cool and wet this week, one day with low humidity and higher temps or winds will absolutely dry those leaves out. The ground was so dry and wet go a good amount of rain quickly, so this will only delay the risk a couple of days. Until the ferns pop up in the forest, the risk will remain.”

Mattie Joyce Hudock , 99 years of age, a longtime resident of Weatherly, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 24, 2023, as a guest of Heritage Hill Senior Community in Weatherly, with her children and grandsons by her side.
Born Wednesday, April 9, 1924 in Junedale, Carbon County, Mattie was the daughter of the late Giles Steven, and Mattie (Edwards) Evans. Her maternal grandfather, Owen Edwards, was a Civil War soldier, wounded at Harpers Ferry and was a guard at the White House during Reconstruction.
Mattie was the 11th of 13 children. Her siblings were Mildred, Blanche, Winifred, Mary, Gladys, Harriet, Sarah, Giles, Paul, Clifford, Ray, and Joan.
Mattie was predeceased by her first husband, Emerson Luhman, who served in the Navy during WWII on the Indianapolis that carried the atom bombs
that ended the war. He was killed in action. Weatherly’s Deitrick-Luhman Veteran Organization was named to honor her husband’s service to our country.
She and her second husband, Army veteran Donald Hudock built a house on Fairview Street in Weatherly themselves with the help of friends. Mattie learned to drive a model A Ford hauling dirt and materials for the house.
Surviving are daughter, Joyce Stone and her husband Gary of Schnecksville; son, Donald Hudock and his wife Maria of Hillsboro, Oregon; sister, Joan Feaster; grandchildren, Brian Stone and his wife Katie, Matthew Stone and his wife Debra, Andrew Hudock, Christopher Hudock; greatgrandchildren, Madeline, Lilian, Megan, and Garin Stone.
Mattie was a 1942 graduate of Weatherly High School, but at 15 years of age, Mattie, the oldest female sibling at home, stepped into the role as a parent upon her mother’s death. She cleaned, baked, and managed the household chores efficiently while still attending classes.
Mattie retired from Wagner Electric (formerly Tung-Sol) as a Quality
Control inspector.
She was a member of Zion’s Evangelical Lutheran Church of Weatherly.
Mattie was an excellent cook, accomplished knitter, gardener, and was recognized as an excellent baker. She knew all her neighbors’ favorite cakes, pies, and cookies. Mattie never paid to have her sidewalks or driveway shoveled for she baked her delicious cookies to those who helped.
Mattie and Donald enjoyed trips to Oregon and Hawaiian vacations. The family appreciates the loving care given to Mattie by the staff at Heritage Hill and by physicians Emilio and Adrian Secheresiu and Dr Thomas Ciotola and their staffs and The Maylath Hospice team.
Private arrangements were entrusted to the Philip J. Jeffries Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Weatherly.

Scouts earned the Rank on the same day so a decision was made to make it a joint ceremony.
Jonathan Darraugh II is from Weatherly. He is the son of Jonathan and Kerisa Darraugh. His project was to build from scratch a meeting table, display unit and bookshelf for the Weatherly Area Museum to provide better furniture for them to store their articles and books in and to have a table large enough for their meetings and education sessions.
Daniel Kernan of White Haven, son of Tina and Joseph Kernan, performed his Eagle Project in Hickory Run State Park. He rebuilt a section of the Shades of Death trail where the trail comes up a slope from the water level to the roadway. He
constructed a curving staircase of timber, stone and earth to make the climb safer and easier for hikers in the park.
Both Scouts have been active in the troop for years, rising in rank while serving in leadership roles. Both are members
of the Scouting Honor Camper Society, the Order of the Arrow, and helped both their communities with many other service projects in addition to their Eagle projects. The scouts were recognized for their accomplishments by Congressman Matt
Cartwright, State Representative Doyle Hefley, Carbon County Commissioner Rocky Ahner, the Marine Corps League and representatives from White Haven Borough, White Haven Lions Club, the Weatherly Area Museum and Minsi Trails Council BSA.
The first Blacktop Bash, sponsored by Title 1, will take place on Friday, May 19, from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Weatherly Area Elementary School’s back parking lot. There will be food trucks and booths, including Flying Aces cheesesteaks, Gimbel Farms, Wicked Foods, Joe’s Pierogies, Heavenly Fries, Joe’s Mini Donuts, Murt’s Desserts and Woods Ice Cream. Activites will include a free inflatable obstacle course, free face painting from 5 to 7, games and booths by high school classes and school departments, and craft vendors. Students, parents, teachers, staff, families, and all members of the community are invited to bring lawn chairs to sit and relax, and share a night out to support school groups.
Ruth’s mobility improves by the week. She was strong enough on Saturday that we were able to go to the Allentown Farmer’s Market, where we picked up Polish and Mediterranean foods. Our intent was to continue on to go out dinner to take advantage of a Southern Lehigh Restaurant Week offer, but when we arrived at our restaurant of choice, the place had an enormous wait line. Saturday night, Restaurant Week, our miscalculation. Obviously we had picked a good place, and will return both earlier and maybe not on a Saturday night.
Instead we ate at a favorite diner in that area, disappointed to find that their moussaka-making man wasn’t there to make the moussaka. I enjoyed a Greek spinach pie in its place.
We learned of the passing of my 99-year-old Aunt Joan while at dinner. Our Sunday plans were tossed and replaced by a trip to Princeton New Jersey to sit shiva with family. Sunday was a foul day weather-wise. I was up early
to take photos of the start of the Jim Thorpe Running Festival’s marathon, which began just up from the Journal’s office in downtown White Haven. At the hour there was some light rain, and even hints of sunshine when the 8 a.m. starting groups left the starting line. Twenty-four miles to go… I learned that as the runners came back past where I had set up to take pictures, that they had already completed their first couple of miles. I offered words of encouragement as runners passed.
I also joked about the tiny hill up to the White Haven Diner being the only hill on the course…all downhill from there…
Race timing would mean that most of the runners were done before noon.
I returned home to pick up Ruth for our trip to New Jersey to sit with family. It was a rainy ride down the PA Turnpike, but not too bad to Princeton.
The ride home, however, was a totally different matter. Homebound we
by Seth Isenberggot off the highways and used state roads to angle north from Allentown to Weatherly. On Route 248 just east of Indian Trail Park, we encountered a tree down across the road. We had arrived before the fire department, but the locals had already sprung into action and were cutting branches off in the pouring rain. Once the fire company arrived, they added chainsaws and made very quick work of cutting the tree away from the road free entertainment, then a short ride home.
On Monday as I drove the Turnpike back to White Haven after a doctors’ appointment, I encountered hail and sleet showers. Ahhh, early May weather… Looking ahead, this Saturday is Wine on the River, a Lehighton Downtown Partnership event. Come out and support this nice community event put on by our neighbors about a half hour from here.
On Sunday at Knoebels, WVIA members have free rides all day (it’s not too late to join…). We plan to go with the dogs for a couple of hours.
In sports, having Aaron Rodgers at the NY Jets might be a revival for them… Joe Namath all over again. I’m excited as a Patriots fan for the matchups. I still see the Eagles as THE team this fall.
I enjoyed the hole-in-one at the Australian stop of the LIV Tour excitement, cheers and beers…
I use ESPN for my sports news. They are coming up for a huge staff trimming. ESPN became too big, and
it’s too costly to subscribe. I remember its beginnings as a little cable network broadcasting college sports from an office building in Connecticut. They’ll be fine after the cuts, perhaps better.
I hope gas prices have stopped going up. Ruth and I want to do more driving as our area greens up for spring.
The Pocono Air Show at Pocono Raceway is May 27 and 28 Saturday and
Sunday afternoons. I have some Sunday tickets to give away send in a card or drop a note off at our office. Include your phone # and e-mail.

Trifecta of Folk will headline the eighth and last concert of the Greater Hazleton Concert Series season on Tuesday, May 9, at 7:30 p.m. at Hazleton Area High School Auditorium, 1601 W. 23rd Street, where abundant free, lighted parking is available.
The Kingston Trio, The Brothers Four and The Limeliters come together in Trifecta of Folk. This extraordinary combination, a perfect concert of acoustic folk music by three of the best known names in folk, come together in one amazing show performing all the classic chart hits.
The Kingston Trio are 8 time nominees and 4 time Grammy winners, including 200 Lifetime Achievement Billboard Awards. The Brothers Four are known as the “pioneers of the Great American Folk Revival.” The Limeliters launched their career at the San Francisco’s “hungry i” night club. They have hit one million hits on YouTube with “Take My True Love by Her Hand.”
The Kingston Trio
All three current members, Mike Marvin, Tim Gorelangton and Don Marovich, have intrinsic links to and experience with the original group: Mike is the adopted son of founding member Nick Reynolds, who was also his musical mentor; Tim, a close friend since boyhood, is one of the few musicians outside the Trio who has recorded with Nick Reynolds; and Don Marovich, who has performed with the Trio
and who plays the guitar, banjo and mandolin.
The Brothers Four
Now in their 60th year of performing and recording, The Brothers Four continue to delight millions of fans worldwide with their smooth, musical sounds. Since the early 1960s The Brothers Four have played thousands of college concerts, sung for U.S. presidents at the White House, appeared at countless Community Concerts, performed with symphony orchestras and jazz stars and toured dozens of foreign countries. They are truly “America’s Musical Ambassadors to the World.”
The Limeliters
For 50+ years the Limeliters have entertained standing-room-only crowds with their incredible musical talent and zany sense of humor. They first made their mark in folk clubs and on college campuses during the height of the folk music boom of the early 60s, which led to numerous TV appearances. With different configurations over the years, the group has preserved their signature vocal sound.
This is a once in lifetime opportunity to experience the true sound of folk, in your own backyard.
Individual tickets are $30 for adults and $10 for students. For concert information or tickets call, Cynthia at 570-436-6615, Tom at 570-788-3967 or Shirley at 570-3841226. For more information visit www.hazletonconcertseries.org or visit our Facebook page.

The new board members are Patty Horn and Pat Rader.

It is scheduled for Saturday, June 3, from noon to 5 p.m.

Please remember to check The Library Corner as well as the library Facebook page to see what we have planned for our community to enjoy.
It has been just 160 days since Bryce Harper went in for Tommy John surgery. On day 161 he will make his return to the roster. The shortest time ever a player has come back to play after this specific surgery was back in 2004, almost 20 years ago, when former second baseman Tony Womack did it in 182 days.
Setting records and being the star of the show is nothing new to Harper, but this is historic. According to a study that was posted by the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Injury in 2018, position players in the MLB had an average recovery time for a player to return to his past professional level of 382 days, just over 12 months. This is more than twice the length of Harper’s return.
Harper will likely return as a Designated Hitter, which is not mentioned as part of the study done in 2018.
To put this in perspective, the only other player to do this was Shohei Ohtani who returned in 218 days.
Tommy John surgery is a process where doctors have to reconstruct all of the Ulnar Collateral Ligament with a completely different tendon from the body; such as wrist, forearm, toe, etc. It most commonly happens with repetitive stress to the
elbow, and with some of the plays Harper has made with his arm, it’s almost a surprise it did not happen sooner.
Last season he was limited in his role as he could only play designated hitter due to this injury, still he had yet another remarkable season where he proved most of his remaining doubters wrong. Harper won NLCS MVP, and in game five against the San Diego Padres, he would have the swing of his life to send the Phillies to the World Series.
Harper averaged a .286 on the year with 18 home runs. In the playoffs, “Mondo” as Harper is called by his teammates, turned it up a few notches averaging a .349 with 6 home runs in just 17 games.
Harper will reportedly make his return Tuesday to a team that could use a bit of a spark on offense. The Phillies’ pitching is coming together after two solid outings from the aces Zach Wheeler and Aaron Nola where the two accounted for a total of 13 innings pitched with 11 strikeouts and 1 run allowed between the two. The Fightins have fought their way back into contention and are now sitting at 15-14 as of May 1st. Here’s to seeing MV3 back to his peak form – perhaps by late August.

Brenden Dennis and Noah Schultz each celebrated their 100th goals last week during regular-season games. Dennis recorded his 100th as he helped Crestwood defeat Abington Heights last Wednesday, while Schultz netted his 100th goal in a loss to Wyoming Seminary last Friday. Both Dennis and Schultz have been playing together since grade school with the MALAXA Youth Lacrosse program in Mountain Top, where they
competed every spring in the regional recreational league and also played summers together for travel tournaments. Both are offensive midfielders for the Comets.
“Brendan and Noah have developed a unique chemistry having played alongside one another for so long that translates to a very effective scoring pair,” noted Crestwood head coach Brian Zabroski. “They have been
by Matthew Paris
contributing to our success since they were freshmen and have naturally filled leadership roles during last season as well as this senior year.”
Following graduation Schultz plans to attend Wilkes University where he will be playing football, and Dennis will be attending King’s College where he plans to continue playing lacrosse.
Growing up, Jim Fullan dreamed of playing organized baseball, and he prepared by practicing with his father for hours on end. Unfortunately, that dream turned into disappointment when he failed to make his high school baseball team. After graduating, Fullan married started a family, and joined the Army. With a family to support, playing organized baseball was not at the top of Fullan’s list. But he did play recreationally in an adult baseball league, and that experience rekindled Fullan’s passion for the game. When his daughter urged him to consider enrolling in a community college and earning a twodegree, the 56-year-old Fullan, now a retired postal worker, thought about combining academics with athletics by playing baseball. His inquiries came up dry until he started conversing with Montgomery County Community College in Blue Bell, PA, about 25 miles
northeast of Philadelphia. Fullan started attending games and talking with coaches about trying out for the team. They welcomed the idea.
Jim enrolled and tried out for the Mustangs as an outfielder. It was a nervewracking experience, not only because of his age but because seven more students tried out than there were spots on the team. Head coach Mike Fitzgerald had decisions to make, and one decision was to include Jim Fullan on the roster. After all the years and disappointments in between, Fullan’s dream finally became a reality. The lesson here is obvious: You’re never too old to give up on your dream.
Houston-based Matthew Paris is The Sports Column’s most widely read author, and human interest stories like Fullan’s is a big reason why.
With unbeaten Hazleton Area coming to town for a pair of key Wyoming Valley Conference showdowns last Tuesday, Crestwood’s boys’ and girls’ track and field teams both needed big performances to keep their title hopes alive.
The Comets and Lady Comets delivered just that. Led by Kayla Kresge’s two wins in the hurdles, and great balance up and down the lineup, the Crestwood girls rolled to a 87.5-62.5
victory over the Lady Cougars. Meanwhile, the Crestwood boys notched a 87-63 win over the Cougars.
All four teams now have one loss heading into the final two WVC dual meets of the season. Crestwood closes with Wilkes-Barre Area and Berwick, while Hazleton Area has Dallas and Pittston Area left on its schedule.
“We were really happy with their performance. Their times were great,” Crestwood boys’ coach Rob Moulton said. “We knew Hazleton was going to be a very tough test in
Crestwood broke out to a 2-0 lead on first-place Hazleton Area last week in their WVC baseball game in Hazle Township. But the host Cougars scored three unearned runs in the bottom of the third inning on the way to a 7-3 victory that kept them in control of the Division 1 race.
After beating Crestwood 13-6 the week before, the Cougars found themselves trailing the Comets in the top of the third when Ben Keil drew a leadoff walk, Nick Miscavage followed with a single, and Chaz Wright doubled home Keil. Joe Moratori’s groundout made it 2-0.
Freshman Dom Marino drew a walk ahead of Jamie Martoccio’s single to start the Cougar comeback in the home third. Nick Ledger then attempted a sacrifice bunt, but the throw to first base went awry and both
the conference and we just wanted to give it our all and they did. They did an awesome job today.”
The Comets were anything but fresh, but relied on guts to grind out the team win.
“We’ve had four meets in the last eight days, so it’s been a lot on the kids,” Moulton said. “The way they’ve balanced that and still are running PRs on tired legs, I’m really happy with that.
“Districts is a two-day event, so it’s going to be a similar concept there, where they may be on tired legs there. We have injuries and all of that. They just fought through these last eight days.”
the rest of our opponents.”
Meanwhile, the Lady Comets kept in the race thanks to several strong efforts, including Kresge’s double in the hurdle events. She clocked a 16.5 in winning the 100-meter hurdles, matching her personal best.
“It felt good,” Kresge said of her PR. “Every meet I try to beat my last time, so I tied my PR this time. It’s great when you race against great opponents. It really helps. Even my own teammates push me every week.”
Kresge said. “We have to keep working hard. But no matter what, I’m so proud of what we’ve done this season so far.”
Marino and Martoccio scored to tie the game, before Kevin Guzman’s safety squeeze brought in courtesy runner Ryan Schmidt. Hazleton Area never trailed again.
Down 4-2 in the fifth, the Comets (7-7, 2-7) got one run back when Keil singled and eventually came around on Moratori’s two-out base hit to center.
The Cougars’ offense, meanwhile, plated three insurance runs in the bottom of the fifth to put the game away. AJ Collevechio and Jonas Aponick had infield singles in the inning, which also included a Comet error and a wild pitch.
With the win, the Cougars (11-1, 9-0) stretched their WVC winning streak to 41 games dating back to May 2019.
One of the standout performances of the day for the Comets came from freshman Jaden Shedlock, who matched the school record with a 10.8-second win in the 100-meter dash. “That was a great performance,” Moulton said. “Just overall lots of times have been improving meet to meet.”
The Cougars were without a pair of big pieces to their puzzle, as both Matthew Cusatis and Sammy Guzman did not compete.
Although they got a pair of individual firsts from hurdler Joe Mazaika and some other strong individual performances, the Cougars slipped to 3-1 and are now tied with Crestwood in the standings with two meets remaining.
“We lost to Dallas, so we have one loss, and Hazleton still has to face Dallas,” Moulton said of the WVC race. “If Hazleton can pull off anything against Dallas, then there could potentially be a three-way tie. It’s kind of out of our hands, and we have to kind of try to beat
She said she is on pace to be in a good spot come districts next month. “I feel like I’m on a pretty good track right now. I definitely want to get into the 15s. Our coaches are amazing. I couldn’t ask for any better coaches. They keep me on track, and my family does too. My dad was a good hurdler, so he helps too. But you can always improve, so that’s what I’m trying to do.”
She said the way her teammates are going, the WVC title is still in the cards. “It was such a big meet. The WVC title is always the plan, but we’ll have to see,”

The Weatherly Area boys and girls competed at the Pine Grove Invitational last Thursday. The Weatherly Area boys’ teams finished fourth in the 3200 relay and fifth in both the 400 and 1600 relays. Individually, Michael Berger had the best finish for the Wreckers with
a third in the 1600 and a seventh in the 800. Jacob Parker was sixth in the 1600 and eighth in the 800.
Minersville (133 points) edged Nativity (128) for the boys’ team crown. Weatherly was eighth with 25 team points.
On the girls’ side, Weatherly Area’s Kelly Reiner placed third in the javelin and sixth in the discus to pace the Lady Wreckers. Danielle Gordon was eighth in the 800-meter run and Kendall Gerhart was eighth in the long jump. The Lady Wreckers were seventh in the 400-meter relay, and finished 10th in the team standings.
Hazleton Area (164¾) beat out host Pine Grove (114¾) for the girls’ team title.
In a classic pitcher’s duel, this round went to Marian’s Morgan Kelly. The junior pitcher hurled a two-hit shutout and struck out 13 as Marian edged Weatherly Area 1-0 last week in a Schuylkill League Division III firstplace battle at Weatherly. The Fillies pushed across
the game’s only run in the fourth inning.
Maddie vonFrisch was stellar in defeat for the Lady Wreckers, pitching a three-hitter and striking out 12, including the 500th of her career.
Kelly Michaels and vonFrisch each singled for Weatherly’s lone hits.
Mike Gelatko and Chris Chambers each drove in three runs and Lachlan Segedy had two RBI as Marian defeated Weatherly Area 20-5 in five innings in Schuylkill League Division III baseball action, last
Wednesday, in Weatherly.
Chambers, Segedy, Joey Walko and Jake Bobish each had two base hits for the Colts (7-7, 4-5), who scored six times in the first inning, five in the third and eight in the fifth before the 10-run
With the win, Marian (10-4 overall, 5-4 league) took a one-game lead over Weatherly (8-5, 4-5) in the Division III standings. The Fillies also have the tiebreaker by sweeping the season series.
rule ended the game. Tanner Hinkle and Ish Zuberi each had an RBI for the Wreckers (3-12, 1-8).
Former Hazleton Area High School lacrosse star Riley Hudock recently completed another record-setting season with the Muskingum University women’s team this spring. In the team’s season finale against Marietta, the sophomore midfielder scored three goals to establish a new program record with 46 goals in a season, breaking Ashley Adams’ 2017 mark of 45. Hudock, who hails from White Haven, also tied her own record for points in a season with 48, reached 100 draw controls for her career earlier in the season, and moved within four points of 100 for her two-year college career.
Following the season, she was named the team’s offensive player of the year for a second straight time.

Weatherly Area High School graduate Jacob Solonoski is making plenty of noise for the Kutztown University men’s track and field team. The Weatherly resident and Kutztown sophomore placed third in the hammer throw with a personal-best 163 feet, 8 inches at the Coach P. Invitational, and added a sixth-place finish in the discus, where his 136-foot throw also was a personal best. Both distances qualify him for the upcoming PSAC Championships.
For the Kutztown women, Weatherly Area graduate Rhianne Markovchick was ninth in the 100 hurdles (16.43) at the Coach P. Invitational.
Kutztown will participate in the Jim Thorpe Open at
Penn State University this weekend, before heading to the PSAC Championships May 11-13 at Slippery Rock.
0-0-0 Crestwood graduate and Mountain Top native Trey Zabroski has been a key figure off the bench for the Grove City College men’s lacrosse team this spring. The sophomore midfielder has played in all 16 games for Grove City (8-8), scoring three goals and assisting on 12 others. He scored two goals and dished an assist against Thiel, and had a goal and two assists against Franciscan.
Grove City finished 7-0 in conference play and will be the top seed for the PAC Tournament, hosting the number 4 seed in the semifinal round this week.
