Pennsbury Comments
The Pennsbury Falcons were moving slowly as they boarded the team bus less than 24 hours after a hard fought battle with Neshaminy the night before. This would mark the third game of the week for PHS and they were feeling it. The ride to Hatboro-Horsham was quiet, but marked by an underlying vibration of Friday excitement and the hope of breaking an eight game losing streak. And that they did. The Falcons got off to a super slow start, but Ryan Burdette lit a spark with a beautiful deflection goal on an assist from Rylie Borgman. The Falcons were just warming up. Abby Iacona made it a 2-0 game with a heads up play collecting her own rebound off the goalie's pads and putting it into the back of the cage. Angelina Kenney connected on an assist from Mia Popovich in the third quarter putting the orange and black up 3-0. Popovich scored one of her own to kick off the fourth quarter on a beautifully placed pass from Avalee Shumski. The Falcons, still thirsty for more after the long draught, scored two more to finish off the game and tally a total of six for the day. Shumski added another assist as she crossed the ball into the circle to the waiting Regan Rodriguez who finished with an incredible tip from the stroke line. Rylie Borgman notched her goal with 13 seconds left on a pass into the circle from Riley Henderson. Ava Jordan, Chelsea Todd, Cailyn Reilly, Riley Askey, Olivia Coen, Sam Nesteruk, Ayla Alon, Gabby Darling, Kaylin Flannery, Abby Anderer, Alaina Bird, and goalie, Kayla Shaffer worked so hard out there today to make a difference as well. "Our girls have been showing great resilience, patience, persistence, and passion through the last eight games," explains Coach Traci Curtis. We needed a game like this to just keep us going and set the tone for our final four match ups. Now is the time for us to dig deep and decide how we want to finish 2023. We have been writing a wonderful story together since August 14th and today was a great start to prepare for the ending chapter.
