SOL National Conference.
Pennridge 17, Pennsbury 11
The Rams needed every bit of the offensive output Maddy Edinger and Kate Unzicker provided on Tuesday.
Edinger scored eight goals, adding an assist while Unzicker put away five goals and an assist to pace a high-scoring Rams attack that couldn’t put away the host Falcons.
“The final score was not indicative of how tight the game really was. Every time we pulled out to a lead, Pennsbury fought back,” Pennridge assistant William Rodzewich said. “Kate and Maddy did most of the scoring, but it took great plays by all 11 on the field and Anjali (Verma) in goal to seal this one.”
Pennridge turned things up after halftime but did hold a 7-5 advantage at the break.
Darrien Furiness had four goals, an assist, seven ground balls, three caused turnovers and seven draw controls in a gritty effort for the Falcons. Grace Holmes recorded a hat trick and seven draw controls while Mia Popovitch scored three goals, caused two turnovers and grabbed two ground balls.
“Darrien played her heart out. Grace did an excellent job on the draw and contributed on goals,” Falcons coach Shannon MacPherson said. “We were really happy to see our attack contribute as a whole today. Pennridge has a really talented team.
“Maddy Edinger is a great player and contributed beautifully to Pennridge’s win today.”
Amelia Loughery and Sophie Craig each tallied a goal and assist for the Rams. Kendal Posey had three assists, Ava Fantaskey scored one goal while Leah Verespy and Grace Rosica each tallied an assist.
Pennridge (9-3, 6-1 SOL) hosts Souderton at 7 on Wednesday. Pennsbury (8-3, 4-2 SOL) hosts Bensalem at 3:30 on Wednesday.
