The Quakers improved to 2-0 with a 5-2 win over the Planets, getting two first-period goals from Otto Schaefer. Adam Pilewicz, Cameron Peterkin and Steven Wei also scored for the defending Class A state champions.
Mars got goals from Craig Mazzotta and Ed Schwadron, but could only muster 14 shots against Quaker Valley goaltender Parker Sherry.
The Quakers and Planets, who both play in Section 2-A, split the regular-season series last season, with Mars winning 4-3 in the first contest and Quaker Valley rebounding with a 7-0 win in the second matchup.
The two met again the Penguins Cup championship, with Quaker Valley winning 4-2. It was Mars’ fifth straight appearance in the Penguins Cup final.
The Quakers went on to beat West Chester Rustin 4-1 to win the overall state title.

Mars, meanwhile, is 3-2 after its 2-1 win over Serra Catholic Tuesday.
