PENNRIDGE 6, WISSAHICKON 1
The Lady Rams found their offensive stride against the Trojans, using goals from five different players en route to the impressive non-league win.
Kennedy Peace put the Rams on the scoreboard 10 minutes into the contest, using a Jessica Milligan assist. A minute later, Rachel Velez scored off a corner kick by Dani Meenan. With six minutes remaining in the half, Melissa Lyon (Velez assist) found the net to send the Rams into the intermission with a 3-0 lead.
The Rams’ lead grew to 4-0 when – six minutes into the second half – Katie Fischer scored, using a Kouri Peace assist. Fisher connected for her second goal with 14 minutes remaining, this time converting a Meenan corner kick into the score. The Trojans broke up the Rams’ shutout bid when Rachel Coleman scored with 10 minutes remaining.
“(Coleman) found herself on the receiving end of (Maddie) Elwell’s pass to square up and take a nice shot from the top of the 18 to hit the back of the net,” Creamer-Frank said.
With just 12 seconds remaining on the scoreboard clock, Meenan capped a productive afternoon with a goal that was assisted by Ashley Groeber.
Pennridge goalie Kaitlyn Moran had six saves.
Wissahickon coach Shannon Creamer-Frank credited the strong play of her captains.
“Mady Foglia was relentless in midfield, breaking up the Pennridge attack,” the Trojans’ coach said. “Keanna Haney was credited with 14 saves, and Maddie Elwell kept Wissahickon moving forward with more than a few solo runs, taking on the whole of Pennridge to come up big with an assist and four shots on frame to her credit.”
Creamer-Frank also credited backs Mary Matthews and Anna Wilde with four hard defensive tackles
Pennridge (6-3-1, 4-3-1 SOL) will travel to Central Bucks West for a 7 p.m. contest Tuesday, and Wissahickon (6-3-1, 6-1-1) will host Upper Moreland.
