The Warriors (0-1 overall) posted 10 shots on goal in the contest, including three each from senior Connor McNiff (Marietta, Pa./Donegal) and junior Luke Klingler (Bloomsburg, Pa./Bloomsburg), but the Spartans (1-0 overall) were able to stop several solid advances.
 
Antal Petrik headed the game-winning ball across the goal box in the 17^th minute, where Hower deposited it into the left corner of the net.
 
Junior Connor Keenan (Exton, Pa./Downingtown East) made nine stops for the Warriors in net while the York keeper, Brad Schmidt, made four in the shutout.
