The game was lopsided in the first period with PDS scoring a few quick goals,  it was 6-0 at the end of the first . The Summit squad managed to right the ship and only allowed 2 goals the rest of the game.  Stellar play by goalie Tory Round and defensive stalwarts  , Caroline Peck , Clare O'Malley and  Captain Sara Bloom kept the potent PDS offense in check. PDS is one of the top teams in the state and will send a few girls to play hockey in college.
