Mike Delfin<\/a> banged home a rebound with just under four minutes remaining in overtime as Conwell-Egan edged Malvern Prep, 6-5, in the Class AAA Flyers Cup championship game last night at the First Union Spectrum. Delfin, a 6-foot senior winger who was named the game’s most valuable player, was planted in front of the net when David Sedmak’s left-side shot caromed off the pads of Malvern goalie Nicholas Nudy and slid just outside the crease. Delfin capitalized on the opportunity, slipping the puck into the right corner and giving the Eagles their first Flyers Cup title. “The puck just popped out front, and I pretty much had the whole net,” Delfin said. “It’s the biggest goal of my career, and maybe the easiest goal I’ve ever scored.” The Eagles will next play Meadville for the Class AAA state title on Saturday at 4:30 at the Grundy Recreation Center in Bristol Borough. The Eagles scored two goals in the game’s first 29 seconds and bolted ahead, 2-0. Junior center Brian Tetley<\/a>, who registered a hat trick, scored eight seconds into the game, and Delfin beat Malvern starter Jeff Caruso 21 seconds later. Junior Chris Lawrence<\/a> paced the Friars, providing two goals and an assist. Malvern battled back and surged in front, 4-3, early in the second period when freshman Phil McKeon<\/a> turned a pass from Lawrence into a goal. Egan senior goalie Matt Cusanno<\/a>, named to the all-tournament squad, stopped 45 shots. Tetley forced overtime when he broke free and scored with 27 seconds left in regulation.
“I think we showed a lot of character,” Conwell-Egan coach Rich Slack said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
