Non-league
WISSAHICKON 14, METHACTON 7
The visiting Trojans took a 7-5 lead into halftime but then took control in the second half to earn their fourth win in as many games.
“It was a back and forth game till Methacton was assessed their fourth yellow and had to play down a player,” Wissahickon coach Chuck Wurzbach said. “We were able to extend the lead and maintain possession to close the game out.”
Sam Farno contributed four goals, one caused turnover, one ground ball and one interception in a solid all-around effort.
“Sam Farno scored four times and did a phenomenal job defensively,” Wurzbach said. “We ask a lot of her, and she continues to step up.”
Alexa McCabe also had four goals and added an assist. Lila Marciniak contributed three goals, five draw controls and two caused turnovers, and Sophia Stehlik handed out four assists and also had four draw controls and two caused turnovers.
Emma Greenberg added one goal, three assists, two draw controls and one ground ball, and Nora Ryan had two goals and two caused turnovers.
“Very solid team defense today with 11 caused turnovers from nine different players,” Wurzbach said. “Kaylee Hammond and Thalia Tsiobikas did a nice job of pressuring their low attackers and not allowing clean feeds to their cutting midfielders.”
Tatum Rurhen had four saves in goal for the Trojans.
Wissahickon (4-0) will travel to Marple Newtown for a non-league game on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
