Ryan Riordan's recap of the Class A Penguins' Cup game:

Check these highlights - they include Mars' only goal (scored by Ian Houk-Graves) and Quaker Valley's third period goals (from Connor Quinn and Ryan Dickson).
Edinboro junior Tabitha Bemis was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Women's Indoor Field Athlete of the Year for the second consecutive year.
Bemis, the PSAC Indoor Championships’ Most Valuable Field Athlete and overall women’s Most Valuable Player, qualified in three events for the NCAA Division II NCAA National Championship -- 60-meter hurdles, long jump, and triple jump. She was also selected as the Atlantic Regions Field Athlete of the Year for a second straight season as she won every event in which she participated in 2013.
In her final chance to do so, Quaker Valley senior Haley Ashner qualified for the PIAA diving championships and Wednesday, Ashner made the most of it. At the WPIAL diving championships Ashner finished seventh with a score of 304.95.
At the PIAA championships at Bucknell University, Ashner finished 11th with a score of 315.95.
Quaker Valley’s offense scores 7.7 goals per game, so Parker Sherry could give up a few goals and still win every game.
But Sherry hasn’t done that. In fact, he has posted a shutout in six of his 14 starts, including the playoffs, this season.
He was close to his seventh Monday, but Kittanning’s Hunter Grafton scored with 1:37 remaining in the third period of the Quakers’ 4-1 PIHL Class A Penguins Cup semifinal victory.
