Wissahickon 20, Lower Merion 5
The youth movement at Wissahickon is paying dividends early.
Freshmen Sam Farno and Lila Marciniak provided a spark to help lift Wissahickon to a 20-5 rout of nonleague opponent Lower Merion on Tuesday.
“Our freshmen Lila Marciniak and Sam Farno gave our offense a jolt early in the game as they kept finding lanes to drive and score,” Wissahickon coach Chuck Wurzbach said.
Farno finished with 4 goals, 1 ground ball, and 2 caused turnovers. Marciniak netted 3 goals while adding 2 assists and 2 draw controls.
Lex McCabe led the Trojans’ offense – which peppered Lower Merion with 31 shots – with 6 goals and 1 draw control. Emma Greenberg scored 3 and earned 8 draw controls, while Nora Ryan chipped in with 3 caused turnovers, 2 ground ball pickups, and 4 draw controls.
“Emma and Nora did a great job today working together on the draw circle,” Wurzbach said. “Elle Stein does a lot that doesn’t fill the scorers’ sheet but is so important to our defensive success.”
Wissahickon improves to 2-0 overall on the season and will host Council Rock South at 3:30 pm Thursday.
Upper Dublin 13, Pennridge 1
Paige Dinkel scored 4 goals and added 2 assists and Bridget DiMartile poured in 5 points (2G, 3A) to lead Upper Dublin to a 13-1 victory over Pennridge in Tuesday’s non-league game.

Erin Darcy made 3 saves in goal for the Cardinals, who improve to 2-0 overall on the season.
“Our defense really stepped up today and worked as a unit to cause turnovers,” said Upper Dublin coach Dee Cross. “Abby O’Meara, Olivia Broome, Sophia Sirianni, and Maeve Hogan collectively caused turnovers and helped to push transition. Erin Darcy had a steady game in goal.”
Kendall Posey scored Pennridge’s lone goal.
With the loss, the Rams drop to 0-2 overall and will host Upper Moreland at 7 pm Thursday. Upper Dublin will host Boyertown in a nonleague matchup at 3:30 pm Thursday.
