Ray Matz scored two goals and sparked Archbishop Ryan High’s comeback from a two-goal deficit to a 5-3 victory over Council Rock in the opening round of the fifth annual Flyers Cup hockey tournament last night at the Havertown Skatium.
Council Rock, the champion of the Suburban League, grabbed a 2-0 lead on goals by Mike Cardonick and John Rankel in the first 4 minutes of the game. Lower Bucks County League champion Ryan closed the gap to 2-1 before the end of the peri- od and added unanswered second- period goals by Craig Campagnolio, Jim Rohan and Matz. Matz, a junior winger, added an insurance goal early in the final period, giving the Raiders a berth in tomorrow night’s (7:30) second- round game against Monsignor Bonner, which edged Conestoga, 2-1, in the second game of the doubleheader. Center Ray Palmer chalked up four assists for Ryan, which held a 20-18 edge in shots. Cardonick accounted for two of Council Rock’s three goals.
