PENNRIDGE 3, DOCK MENNONITE ACADEMY 2
The Rams found themselves staring at a 2-0 halftime deficit and responded with an impressive second-half effort, scoring three goals and silencing Dock’s offense to earn their second win in as many days.
“We started a little slower than we would like, and we were surprised by Dock’s aggressive play,” coach Becky Spahr said. “The second half our forward line did a great job spreading the field and creating scoring opportunities.
“It was an exciting game and feels great to come out on top.”
In the first half, the Pioneers received goals from Katie Strickland (Macy Balmer assist) and Balmer (Elle Bergey assist).
The Rams had a definitive answer to the Pioneers’ strong start. Macy Price scored with a Sydney Borneman assist, and then Price returned the favor, assisting on a Borneman goal. Price scored her second goal of the half, this one with an Abby Ludlow assist to propel the Rams to the dramatic win.
“Macy Price has always played with so much tenacity and fight,” Spahr said. “It was exciting to see her finishing in the circle.
“Sydney Borneman also played well. She’s been injured so it is wonderful to have her back on the field for us. Her play makes such a difference for our for our team.”
Mackenzie Bross had a huge game in goal for the Rams, turning away 16 of 18 shots.
