DELAWARE COUNTY CHRISTIAN 5, UPPER MORELAND 0
Upper Moreland goalie Addi Hurley came up with her 400th career save early in the first quarter of Friday’s non-league match.
“Addi has had a stellar career at Upper Moreland,” UM coach Pam Remmey said. “This year, we started keeping
track because I knew she was probably close to a milestone and should be celebrated. Today, she got her 88th save this season - plus a few more - to bring her total above 400.
“We had huge purple 4-0-0 balloons in my car all week because you never know how many shots there will be in any given field hockey game. So, some of her favorite field hockey teammates brought them down to the field after the first quarter for pictures.”
A fixture in the goal the past three years, Hurley had 205 saves as a sophomore. She added 107 her junior year despite missing almost half the season with a concussion.
“The team was really excited for her because she is such a great teammate and team leader,” Remmey said. “Addi was also honored as Upper Moreland’s student of the month for September and is the Bears starting varsity lacrosse goalie since her 10th grade year.”
UM coach Pam Remmey on the game: “Delco Christian started off very fast and had two very skilled players who delivered in the circle. The score was 4-0 at half. Addi Hurley made 11 saves in the first half with four goals allowed.
“Then our other senior goalie went in to do the job. Ash Conrad held strong, having one of their best games of the season with 10 saves and only one goal allowed.
“We are so lucky to have two goalies ready to play and willing to battle against a lot of shots. They both work SO hard in practice every day with our assistant coach Melanie Rowland, along with our other two goalies.”
--Props: “UM defenders Izzy Duncan, Julia Gallen, Mackenzie Reilly and Addi Gans had a tough job, but were able to adjust to Delco Christian’s quick shots and aggressive play. Duncan and Gallen were defensive leaders throughout the game during a lot of circle play. Ella Gould had another dynamic game playing everywhere on defense and attack.
“On the forward line, Melissa Torpey and Charleis Fayall played hard and got several opportunities but couldn't find the net. Bridget Hess, Olivia Torres and Savannah Anderson played well at midfield for the Bears.”
Up next: Upper Moreland (4-8-1, 2-4 SOL) will travel to New Hope-Solebury on Tuesday for a 6 pm contest.
