Non-league
QUAKERTOWN 15, SOUDERTON 14
The Panthers won a thriller Tuesday night, rallying from three down with less than 10 minutes remaining in regulation to win it when senior Maddie Taylor turned a pass from sophomore Paige Longacre – behind the net – into the game-winner with a minute remaining.
“It was a great game,” Quakertown coach Catherine Scott said. “It was fun to be a part of – it was awesome.”
There were heroes galore for the Panthers, but leading the charge was freshman Ellie Stanziola, who had five goals, seven draw controls and two caused turnovers.
“She really was a crucial aspect of our game today,” Scott said. “She was playing lights out.”
The Indians received big performances from Tatum Andrews and Caroline Kelcy as both had five-point games.
By the numbers: Quakertown: Ellie Stanziola (5 goals, 7 DC, 2 CTO), Casey Rosenberger (2 goals, 1 assist, 7 draws, 2 CTO),Maddie Taylor (2 goals, 3 DC), Elaina Milne (2 goals), Cassidy Landis (2 goals, 1 assist),Kayla Glaeser (1 goal), Sunny Draper (1 goal), Cassidy Lamont (7 saves)

Quakertown coach Catherine Scott on the Panthers’ comeback: “We just kept winning the draw and just pushing the fast break. Our draw game kept us in the entire time, and we pushed the pace. We had two 8-meters at the end and got goals off those – Elaina Milne and Cassidy Landis had the 8-meter goals. An 8-meter goal tied it, and at the end, there was a feed from Paige Longacre behind the net to Maddie Taylor, who scored the goal.
“The whole game was back and forth – we’d score, they’d score, we’d go up by two, they’d go up by two. It was that kind of battle the whole time. It was so much fun to be part of it. They were pushing fast breaks, we were pushing fast breaks. It really came down to the last ball. They had some beautiful goals and great saves. It was just a great battle on both ends.”

Sophomore, Elaina Milne, put the ball in the back of the night twice, one goal off a feed from senior Molly Kowalski and another goal off an 8-meter in the fourth quarter.

I am looking forward to see how much more we progress each game as a team.”
