Today we finished our league play and were able to finish 12-0. How the girls have been playing with what they have gone through this season I could not be more proud of them, and today’s game really showed how we can play together as team. Today’s win was a total team effort, everyone that stepped on the field helped to contribute in the win. Our passing was strong, we were cutting to the ball well and had good opportunities to score. Our forwards hustled, working hard to get the ball, and got good touches in the circle. The midfielders did a nice job of supporting, and distributing the ball, and the defenders played very solid, carrying the ball out of the back and making smart passes.
Pennsbury’s goalie, Keira Korzeb, played well in goal making some tough saves. I would to thank Pennsbury for their support and kindness to us today, by giving us flowers and stickers for the girls sticks that were personalized for Coach Doc, we truly appreciate it.

Today’s match up against Neshaminy was the final home game of the season for the Falcons, however, this particular afternoon was about so much more than field hockey. With pink ribbons in their hair, Pennsbury players promoted breast cancer awareness with a “PINK OUT” theme. In addition, during the pre game warm up, the Falcons took a moment to show respect and convey sympathies to the Skins for the sudden loss of their beloved Coach Doc just a few weeks ago. Pennsbury players gave the Neshaminy girls and coaches red carnations, pink ribbons, and stickers for them to place on their sticks to keep Coach Doc’s memory close to them while they play. The Falcons came out strong and prepared for the challenge of facing Neshaminy’s power. We were so proud of how well they worked together to hold the Skins scoreless until only 5 minutes left in the first half. They entered the half down 1-0. We consider that a win for that small moment. We will take those victories and carry that with us as we continue to grow and learn. Goalie Keira Korzeb was on fire and denied a barrage of shots, moving in the goal cage with flexibility, quickness, and aggressive clears. She definitely set the tone for her team and played an excellent complete game. The defense did a great job of staying strong and gaining possession. Nicole Joniak racked up another defensive save and provided such a spark in the back field. She is extremely consistent, reliable, and has gained so much confidence this year. Casey Glynn and Hannah Aker were able to get big hits into the midfield as well, but Pennsbury just struggled producing long lasting offense. We got one corner opportunity, but didn’t create anything out of it. After halftime, Neshaminy adjusted, picked it up another notch and made it very difficult to produce. They are a strong, disciplined team who knows how to get the job done in any situation. The Skins went on to score 3 goals in the second half making the final score 4-0. Considering Neshaminy had 21 shots on goal and 16 penalty corners and the score was 4-0, Pennsbury was proud of their performance for the day and know exactly what it will take to get their game to the next level. The Falcons are set to play their final game against New Hope Solebury tomorrow afternoon. We wish Neshaminy the best of luck as they enter into playoffs. They have risen above adversity and truly put their hearts on the field.
