WARRENDALE, Pa. —  A three-goal second period led second-seeded Seneca Valley over Bethel Park, 4-1, in the first game of the 2018 Penguins Cup playoffs on Monday.

The Black Hawks took a 1-0 lead after the opening frame on a goal by Vince Vituccio, but after the teams changed ends it was all Raiders.

Andrew Dimond and Bryce Korner lit the lamp at even strength and then Noah Watkiss added a power-play goal.

The game had a significant delay due to ice issues after the second period. When teams resumed play, it was all even until Tyler Draper added an empty netter for the victorious Raiders.
