It was the third meeting for the Centennial Conference rivals, who slip the first two prior meetings in one-goal decisions. The Red Devils rallied to top the 'Fords 9-8 in the regular season and dropped a 12-11, double-overtime match-up in the conference semifinal.

The 'Fords struck first, capitalizing on an early Dickinson penalty as Phillip Valliant (Centreville, Md./St. Andrews) scored, unassisted just 38 seconds into the game.

Junior Max Hjelm (Devon, Pa./Conestoga) finished a Zack Cohen (Mountain Lakes, N.J./Mountain Lakes) assist at the 12:48 mark to put Haverford up 2-0.

The Red Devils answered with a three-goal run, triggered by a strike from long-stick defenseman John Haire (Darien, Conn./Darien) with 12:09 remaining in the first quarter.

Sophomore Sam Greenberg (Owings Mills, Md./McDonogh) tied the game, scoring off an assist from classmate Ward Gruppo (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Prep) with 9:51 on the clock.

Senior Chris Dodson (Bethesda, Md./Landon) gave the Devils the lead just 15 seconds later, netting his 23rd goal of the season.

Hjelm tallied his 41st of the season, tying the game, 3-3, at the 7:28 mark to keep the teams even after the first period.

The second quarter belonged to Haverford as they kept Dickinson off the board, scoring five goals to lead 8-3 at halftime. Valliant tacked on a pair of goals while junior Myles Monaghan (Mamaroneck, N.Y./Mamaroneck) added two goals as well.

Andrew Kim (Annapolis, Md./The Key School) scored with 4:14 remaining in the half and assisted Cohen just 53 seconds after the break to stretch Haverford's lead to 9-3.

Gruppo answered for Dickinson at the 12:19 mark, but that would be the only tally for the Devils in the third quarter. Hjelm tacked on a goal and an assist in the third to give the 'Fords an 11-4 advantage heading into the final 15 minutes.

The Haverford defense held, allowing a late goal while adding two in the fourth, for the final of 13-5.

Senior Dewey Dubord (Freeport, Maine/Governor Dummer) tallied his second goal of the season with 22 seconds left to play.

Junior Pat Curley (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. St. Joseph) turned in a strong performance on face-offs, winning 11-of-20 and controlling eight ground balls.

Senior defenseman Al Golod (Lloyd Harbor, N.Y./Cold Spring Harbor) caused three turnovers and controlled four ground balls. Haire added five ground balls while long-stick middie Brandon Palladino (Basking Ridge, N.J./Ridge) picked-up five on the day.

Senior Tyler Magann (Easton, Pa./The Hill School) made 15 saves in goal for the Red Devils.
