RADNOR — John Begier summed it up in convening the final huddle Saturday. Radnor’s 8-7 victory over Wissahickon in the District 1 Class 3A quarterfinals was about “every man” in that huddle, about the 35-player roster that Begier used just about every inch of against the Trojans.

Whether it was a depth middie providing the go-ahead goal, one of the litany of poles stifling Wissahickon’s last chance to tie or a goalie seldom called upon taking on a central role, Radnor flexed its depth to great effect.

“It takes all six of us to get to the net,” Tommy DeShan said. “It’s a really good team that we have.”

About DeShan: That team is so deep the midfielder is often deployed in the defensive end of the field. But in the fourth quarter Saturday, Radnor needed a new look. It hadn’t led yet and squandered many chances to take the lead.

So Begier pointed to DeShan. And like his midfield partner Colin French, who scored twice, DeShan picked up the ball in the right alley, attacked his short-stick marker and potted a goal at 4:37 to play to make it 7-6.

It was Radnor’s first lead of the day, the only one it would need to book a semifinals date against No. 6 Springfield, which upended No. 3 Perkiomen Valley, 11-3.

“That play, I just saw an opening, and I took it,” DeShan said.

Chris Begier added a goal on a slick move on the crease with 2:22 left to make it 8-6, and while Jackson Intrieri pulled one back five seconds later, Radnor held off the Trojans’ final thrusts. The decisive play came courtesy of Will Gallagher, one of a rotation of eight reliable defenseman, picking off a pass with a minute left. From there, Radnor ran out the clock.

Radnor goalie Robert Hobbs came up with 13 saves, including four on a lengthy possession to start the fourth. He was beaten twice in the first quarter by long shots from Kyle Lehman, but the defense adjusted to that and Hobbs dialed in on the Trojans’ other threats.

“They’re an unbelievable defense,” Hobbs said. “They’re super deep. On this team, everyone is a one. It really shows when the guys come off the bench at the end of games, they play just as well as us, so it makes my job easy because they’re unbelievable.”

RADNOR — It wasn’t until Radnor concluded a lopsided win Tuesday that Tori DiCarlo became aware she had reached a cool achievement.

The Naval Academy recruit and senior midfielder scored her 100th career goal late in the first half of No. 2 Radnor’s 17-2 trouncing of 15th-seeded Springfield in the second round of the District 1 Class 3A girls lacrosse tournament.

“I had no idea,” DiCarlo said. “It was a surprise, but it’s great to celebrate with my teammates. I just focused on the game and focused on winning.”

Radnor had no problem in that area. The team was in control from the opening whistle, scoring the game’s first 12 goals. The outcome was never in doubt. Before the first half was completed, Radnor had triggered the running clock and enjoyed a 10-0 advantage at intermission.

DiCarlo put forth a strong game with two goals, four assists and six draw controls.

“She’s really stepped up this year,” said Radnor coach Kristin Addis, who is in her second year in charge of the program. “She’s been playing some midfield this year and has really improved her all-around game. She really is a great kid and has it all going on. She’s been a sponge with us in terms of learning different defenses and our offensive sets. She’s just a really coachable kid.”

DiCarlo had plenty of help Thursday. Sheila Esgro and Cierra Hopson each posted a hat trick, while Julie Breedveld added two goals.

Radnor will host No. 7 Downingtown West in the quarterfinal round Saturday. D-West was a 17-4 winner over No. 23 Plymouth Whitemarsh.

“We just want to dominate every play and we’re just taking it one by one,” Hopson said. “We’re going to go hard the whole game, from beginning to end.”

Addis (nee Hopson) is a 2003 Radnor graduate and All-Delco returned to her alma mater prior to the 2020 season, which was canceled due to the pandemic. She is the aunt of Cierra Hopson. Her father, George Hopson, was the former football coach at Radnor High. After finishing her playing career at Notre Dame, Addis made coaching stops at James Madison and the University of Delaware.

With 13 seniors, nine of whom are going off to play lacrosse at the Division I level, it’s no wonder Radnor (16-1) has been so good all year. The team’s lone setback came against Conestoga, which is the Central League champion and No. 1 seed in the District 1 3A tournament.

“As a coach, I’ll say that I think we always have room to grow, but we’re trending in the right direction,” Addis said. “I think it was challenging this year just because I was a new coach last year. We got a couple of weeks together last season, but building into my mentality and buying into all of the different cultural things, that was something that was new for a lot of the kids. But I also knew I have 13 seniors and they’re hungry. They want to learn and they want to be great in terms of their leadership, both as students and as athletes, so I was fortunate in many ways to have them. They’re a great class of seniors.”

The lost season made Radnor a stronger team in the long run. The players, especially that excellent senior class, never rested on their laurels. They bought into Addis’ approach and bought into her motto for the word win: What’s Important Now.
