Chris Hartung had two goals and twin brother Andrew had a goal and an assist to lead Cherry Hill East to a 7-0 romp over West Deptford in a SJHSIHL game played at Hollydell on Friday night. Andrew opened the scoring for East with the assist to Kevin Descrochers. That opened the gate as East would score three more times in a span of five minutes. Not to be upstaged by his brother, Chris was sent in all alone by Vince Galasso and gave East a 2-0 lead.

West Deptford failed to generate much offense and East seemed to take up residence in their zone. They continued putting the pressure on and Descrochers made it 3-0 with just under six minutes left in the opening period. Galasso again set-up Chris and the period ended at 4-0. When Nick Giambanis scored on a short-handed breakaway late in the second period to make it 5-0, the only suspense left was if East would preserve the shutout. David Ash scored on a breakaway and Mike Seca scored his first goal of the season to close out the scoring at 7-0.
