Non-league
UPPER MORELAND 6, HARRY S TRUMAN 1
Sparked by Olivia Meakim’s hat trick, the Golden Bears opened their season with a convincing non-league win.
“The team learned quickly on both offense and defense to put together a solid team win,” UM coach Pam Remmey said.
Meakim scored her first varsity goal five minutes into the game and then recorded another off an assist from captain Maggie Morrow. Truman fought back with a goal of its own in the second quarter, and the Bears took a 2-1 lead into halftime.
“After halftime, the defense started playing together with Cambrie Richmond, Julia Gallen and Eowyn Stainback moving the ball up the field,” Remmey said. “Kelly Bates was dominant at sweeper, not allowing Truman to get a shot off in the second half.”
Ella Gould scored her first varsity goal with a shot from the right post. Two minutes later, Kyleigh Convey tapped in her first varsity goal with a pass from Morrow. Twenty-five seconds later, Morrow scored with an assist from Gould for Morrow’s third point of the game. Meakim finished off her hat trick with a stellar assist from Ava Bailey.
“Addi Hurley was steady in goal, controlling her circle with great communication to her defense.
Upper Moreland (1-0, 0-0 SOL) will travel to Lower Moreland for Wednesday’s SOL opener, and Harry S Truman (0-1, 0-0) will be on the road at Council Rock North.
