Girls
Non-league
UPPER DUBLIN 17, HAVERFORD 12
Sparked by the glittering effort of Aditi Foster, the Flying Cardinals notched an impressive road win over an always tough Central League foe. The sophomore standout scored seven goals and assisted on two others. She also had six draw controls.
“We were able to string together some great fast breaks and score to gain momentum,” UD coach Dee Cross said. “We were without a starting midfielder, so the girls were able to adjust and come up with draw controls early to help us get a lead.”
The Cardinals led 13-8 at halftime and both teams scored just four goals in a defensive second half.
“The defense played a great game as a unit,” Cross said of Erin Eby, Abby O’Meara, Ava Costanzo and Katie English. “They are learning and gaining confidence each game.”
In addition to Foster, Paige Dinkel had three goals and two assists while Tess Reardon added three goals and one assist. Allie Gay contributed two goals and one assist, and Ella Lyon had a pair of goals.
Dara Fishman was credited with seven saves in goal in a winning effort.
Ava Pradelli (4 goals, 3 assists), Emma Rowland (4 goals, 1 assist) and Hillery Elsner (4 goals) led the Fords. Maddie Williams had an assist.
Upper Dublin (8-4, 4-2 SOL) will be on the road at Cheltenham on Monday.

CENTRAL BUCKS SOUTH 6, COUNCIL ROCK SOUTH 5
The Titans edged the Golden Hawks in a tightly contested defensive battle on Friday.
“CB South played a terrific defensive game and transitioned the ball up the field well,” CB South coach Janique Craig said. “We also had a controlled poised offense and made every offensive possession count. We are coming together nicely after our field adjustments due to four injuries. Council Rock South had a solid defensive unit – the close game should be credited to both teams’ defenses.”
Grace Gannon was a force all over the field, contributing two goals, four caused turnovers and four draw controls. Madeline Flynn also had a pair of goals. Kate Victor added one goal, one assist and two draw controls, and Brooke Cenci had one goal and one assist.
Defensively for the Titans, goalie Gabby Mayo was credited with 10 saves in a strong outing. Erin Smith had four ground balls and one caused turnover, and Emalee Day had three ground balls and two caused turnovers.
Central Bucks South (7-6, 4-2 SOL) will host Great Valley in a non-league game Monday, and Council Rock South (7-3, 3-3) will be on the road at Central Bucks West on Monday.
