Girls
SOUDERTON 4, MOUNT SAINT JOSEPH 1
The Indians exploded for three second-half goals on their way to the non-league win.
With 15 minutes remaining in the first half, the Indians got on the board on a combo play from Taylor Moritz to winger Tori Dowd, whose cross in the middle to Moritz resulted in a goal in the bottom left corner.
Two minutes into the second half, Meredith Moore received a goalie punt, and she was able to get forward and get a shot off that was fumbled by the goalie. Moore pounced on the rebound and found the lower corner of the net.
With 24 minutes remaining, Moritz and Dowd combined on a give-and-go that put Moritz one-on-one with the goalie. She relaxed on the ball and finished a goal into the corner. Another give-and-go between Moritz and Ali Trick this time netted a goal for Trick.

Sparked by a pair of goals and an assist from Erin Stevenson, the Rams handed the visiting Panthers their first loss of the season, scoring a pair of goals in each half in a battle of former conference rivals.

In the second half, Olivia Fernandez (Stevenson assist) and Ashley Groeber (Savanna Harrison) each added a goal.

WISSAHICKON 3, GWYNEDD MERCY 0
In a battle of neighboring rivals, it was the Trojans – who scored three goals in a nine-minute span early in the second half – earning the shutout win.
“It was a great win today – another total team effort for the whole 80 minutes,” coach Shannon Creamer-Franke said. “From the back, captain Mary Mathews and Anna Wilde along with keeper Nicole Hastings shut down GMA, allowing only seven shots with zero reward.”
Maddie Elwell took care of things on the attacking end, scoring a pair of goals. Her first from 30 yards out – six minutes into the second half – was followed by a second goal less than 10 minutes later from 25 yards out.
“She had a fabulous game,” Creamer-Franke said. “Sandwiched in between was a beauty of a shot by Carley Amato, collecting it in the box, beating a defender and shooting lower 90.
“Alexis Smith, Jasmine Bishop an Rachel Coleman had a stellar game along with the entire squad.”
The Trojans held a 15-7 advantage in shots.
Wissahickon (9-3-1, 7-3-1 SOL) will host Cheltenham on Friday.
