Pennsbury 3, Abington 1

The excitement of today’s game for Pennsbury has been building up for weeks, but the focus was not completely on the hockey or on the opponent - their focus was on the cause. The Falcons chose this day as their GOLD OUT GAME to raise money for PHS Mini THON and pediatric cancer. On this beautiful day they were winners both ON and OFF the field. Wearing bright gold tie dye “For The Kids” tshirts, Pennsbury came out and set the stage at their field for an energized environment. The first goal of the game came thirteen minutes in from the outstanding effort of Kayli Williams on the right wing. She kept getting the rebound of off shots and defensive outlets about five times in a row and finally was able to cross it to the stroke mark for Cammie Stuhlmuller to tip in. The Falcons took the lead 1-0 and never let down. Kayli Williams scored the second goal about five minutes later on an amazing cross ball from Cammie Stuhlmuller. Kayli just tipped it beautifully up into the net past the goalie. She was in the perfect spot. She has been playing incredible hockey and contributing so much to our success lately. It is really fun to watch her play. The Falcons held the score 2-0 into half time and dominated play with additional superb efforts from Casey Glynn, Hannah Aker, and the consistent strong defense of Nicole Joniak. Casey’s hits were on today and she was placing the ball really well using the whole field. She sets us up wonderfully for many great moments. Maddy Spratt scored the third goal in the second half off of an assist from Cammie Stuhlmuller. We are so proud of the growth this season, but are definitely not content. We expect more, want more, and will work for more. We have things to work on including our corners, and that is exactly what we will continue to do. Our stops were great today, which is something that we have focused on a lot at practice. Right now we need to hone individual skills that will contribute to the greater good. The girls are finding each other, working together better, and we are settling into a nice groove. It is a new chapter for us and our story is not over. There is more to come from this group and we are having tons of fun finding our potential and putting it out there. The Falcons will travel to Bensalem next week on Wednesday and then host Tennent on Friday.
