Sydney Lafferty (CBE), 8:10
Central Bucks East coach Emma Rosenthal: “It’s always tough to come into another team’s Senior Night. Abington was highly energized and had a good amount of fans on their side. We’re coming off a tough conference week, so we were definitely a little bit tired and got off to a slow start today. We had a lot of good movements but couldn’t connect until a collected rebound and a goal from Sydney Lafferty late in the fourth.
—Props: “Emma Penecale, Morgan Harrington, and Emerson McFeely really stood out having great games in the midfield. Brynn Bonargo was tightly defended all game but did a good job working around the defense to make some great plays. I’m proud of the team for getting it done.”
Up next: The Patriots host North Penn at 3:30 pm Tuesday. Abington will host Quakertown at 3:30 pm Tuesday.

Wissahickon coach Hannah Havrilla: “Wow, talk about a finish! Our team scored four goals in the fourth quarter, showing the grit and determination that have driven us all season. North Penn was a very tough opponent, and we learned a lot from this game.”
—Props: “Shoutouts to Sam Farno and Carly Lehman, who each had three goals. Sam assisted on two of Carly’s goals, and Carly assisted on Sam’s first goal off a corner early in the game. Both have really stepped up on the attacking end this season. Sam also filled in as our center back today, showing strong leadership and composure in the backfield. Carly continues to make a statement every game—she is tough to defend, smart with the ball, and relentless in the circle. We are lucky to have both of them back next season.
“Another shoutout to Regan Szczepkowicz, who moved into a deep sweep position and played with incredible consistency and poise, and to goalkeeper Ava Fell, who recorded an amazing 22 saves. Ava gave it her all, and we will truly miss her and our other seniors next year.”
