Culver Academy senior Matt Schmidt, a Notre Dame signee, was named the game’s Most Valuable Player after stopping 13 shots.

“I’m not making those saves without the defense,” Schmidt told Philly.com. “They put me in a great position to make saves and my goalie coach [Tucker Mizhir] warmed me up today and did a great job getting me where I needed to be all season.”

Earlier in the season, Haverford beat Culver, 8-7, in double overtime. That would be Culver’s only loss. It finished the season at 21-1.

Austin Madronic had four goals and Wheaton Jackoboice had three for Culver.

Haverford rallied to tie the game at 4-4 with 9:51 left in the third quarter before Culver went on a 5-1 run to put the game away.
