River Dell Defeats Pascack Hills 4-2 After Fast Start

Three goals changed the contest

The report says Kai Koyama opened the scoring before Rybak doubled the advantage. Jo Koyama then completed the first-period burst from Rybak’s assist.

That sequence gave River Dell a 3-0 lead and created the defining gap of the match. River Dell also held a 10-5 edge in shots, reflecting a stronger opening from the hosts and leaving Pascack Hills chasing the game from an early stage.

Rybak drives the attack

Rybak added his second goal in the second period after Donavon Schwabik supplied the assist. His contribution went beyond finishing: he also helped create Jo Koyama’s goal, placing him at the centre of River Dell’s most productive attacking spell.

For a team starting the season with an even record, that type of multi-layered attacking performance offers an important foundation. River Dell found different scorers but relied on Rybak to connect the moves.

Pascack Hills’ late response

Pascack Hills did not fold after falling four goals behind. The report says Kolby Shell and Thomas Jude reduced the deficit, while goalkeeper Max Friedman made 10 saves.

However, the comeback began too late. The update says River Dell goalkeeper Matthew Brooks was not required to make a save, underlining how thoroughly the hosts controlled the early phases before Pascack Hills found a route back into the contest.

River Dell is reported to move to 1-1, with Pascack Hills at 1-1-1. Their next fixtures will show whether River Dell can reproduce that first-period intensity and whether Pascack Hills can turn its late resistance into a stronger opening performance.
