The Falcons are getting used to playing under the lights as their schedule has been filled with sun set start times in stadiums across the league. Tonight was no different, but it was a bit more special as Truman celebrated their senior night with Pennsbury by their side. "It was an honor to be there to watch their seniors walk across the field with their families," said coach Traci Curtis. "We have been a part of other team's celebrations this season, but there is just something extra special about sharing it with Truman. Their team's journey is the story that should be told - there is so much to learn from them. Those coaches are doing incredible things and those players have more heart than all of us combined. They dig deep each and every day to improve without a single win to validate their efforts, but they never give up. Their heads are held high with gratitude." When the starting whistle blew the energy was palpable from both sides and the atmosphere was electric! Pennsbury kicked off the scoring in the first quarter with a goal by Olivia Coen on an assist from Chelsea Todd. Todd got a touch on the next one a few minutes later off of a strong Rylie Borgman drive. Olivia Coen connected for a second time off of a great sweep from Abby Iacona near the end of the first quarter to go up 3-0. The Falcons did a broad substitution to start the second quarter giving a variety of players an opportunity to get out there and compete. The Tigers were strong, determined, and visibly improved from their first meeting with Pennsbury holding the orange and black scoreless for the entire quarter entering halftime with the score still 3-0. "Truman is very skilled in their offensive circle earning penalty corners. They caught us not moving our feet and capitalized on that. Their set plays are very well done - they had some great opportunities in front of our cage," explains Curtis. The Tigers did not allow PHS to score again until 5 minutes left in the third quarter. Alaina Bird got a hard shot off on the goalie's pads and Sam Nesteruk had her stick down and ready and scored off the rebound to put PHS up 4-0. Pennsbury added 3 more goals in the fourth quarter with heads up rebounding off pads and quick sticks by Riley Henderson, Abby Iacona, and Rylie Borgman. "We were happy to see our girls moving the ball well in all parts of the field and cleaning up off pads offensively. We moved 36 players from both JV and Varsity through the line up tonight and it was an awesome family effort. Yes, we won the game, but tonight was not about us, it was about honoring the Truman players and focusing on the integrity of the game we all love. They played a great game for 60 minutes and put up a noble fight. We wish all of their seniors the best as they move forward and thank them for showing us what PERSEVERANCE and HEART looks like in sports." Pennsbury will celebrate their seniors on Wednesday when they play Bensalem.
