Moorestown was forced to play without two of their top players and also was missing two others due to injury, in suffering a 7-2 loss to Unionville. Austin Curtis scored two goals and assisted on two others to lead the Unionville attack. Also Amy Donovan scored the last goal becoming the first female to score a goal in Flyers Cup History (we believe). With Unionville leading 2-0 after one period and having out-shot the Quakers 14-6, Moorestown began to generate some offense in the second period, launching 17 shots. Unfortunately Stephen Kelly, the Unionville goalie was outstanding and kept Moorestown off the board while Zack Emery and Curtis were able to beat Moorestown goalie Craig Rushmore.
