Christian Concordia '24 drilled a brilliant shot from outside the box to give Mercersburg a 5-0 lead just before the halftime break.
Early in the second half, Dylan Stiffler '24 scored on a header after a gorgeous cross from Kevin Malo '24 on the right wing. Maggioncalda collected his third goal with 19 minutes to play to finish off the 7-0 victory.
