Senior forward, Skylar Beal, scored the first goal of the game, unassisted in the 1st quarter. Sophomore forward, Janice Coonahan quickly followed with another unassisted goal to put Abington up 2-0 at the half. Skylar Beal added another goal in the third quarter, off an assist by sophomore forward, Maeve Link, to put the game away 3-0.
Junior goalie, Caitlin Murcar, recorded the shut-out with 3 saves.
Seniors, Kayla Kretschman, Kiera Kling, and Maggie Cardamone stepped up on the defensive end and kept the ball out Abington’s circle for the majority of the game.
Senior mid-fielders, Olivia Dougherty and Maura Calladonato had a great game, making many key plays to help prevent Upper Moreland from obtaining offensive opportunities and providing great defense on the field.
Sophomore, Maeve Link, was key in helping get the ball up the field and initiating scoring opportunities for Abington.
It was a great team win today for us, after a few tough games. The girls are finally starting to gel as a team and in their respective positions. I’m very proud of how everyone played, and stepped up, to record a nice team win.

Upper Moreland then raised their level of play in the second half and played pretty evenly with Abington for the rest of the game, but could not put it in the net. Speedy Ella Gould had a strong game along with Maggie Morrow on the left side continually getting breakaways and stopping Abington's attack. Morrow played well on the attack, but also was able to block up the left side to not allow Abington to get the ball up to develop their attack. Ava Bailey controlled the forward line, while Kelly Bates was the anchor of the Bear defense once again back in the circle.
The very athletic Bear's goalie Addi Hurley had a stellar game with 17 saves. Cambrie Richmond also had a great game at center mid.
