The second round was a 3-2 win for the Auks with penalty kicks by Sean Murray '17, Kenan Wursthorn '18 and Alex Schultz '16. The night ultimately belonged to goalie Blake Parker '17, whose defensive play throughout the game and penalty kick save helped Archmere defeat St. Andrew's and move onto the semi-final round of the State Tournament. The Auks take on # 5 Indian River at Appoquinimink HS tonight at 6:00 PM.
