Central Bucks West 1, Central Bucks East 0
Riley Corona stepped off the pitch and disappeared.
Seconds before, the CB West senior co-captain had scored on a wonder-strike to break a scoreless deadlock against archrival CB East in the teams’ annual Kick for Pink game. The elation that came from the goal was nothing compared to what Corona felt as she subbed off and didn’t even make it back to the bench before she was engulfed in a mass of black jerseys and hair dyed various shades of pink.
“It’s unreal. This is my last Kick for Pink game and I wanted to come out and show everyone even though we lost our last game to them, we could come back and beat them. It’s all crazy to me,” Corona said. “Definitely felt better after coming off. The way I play, it’s especially for the people on the bench. Aside from the people on the field, we have so much support from them, and I am so grateful to have them cheering me on.”
For the seventh straight year, the rivals on the field came together off it for a cause much greater than a win or a few points in the standings.
“Aside from the game, I can’t say enough about the girls from each program and the parents from each program. There’s a lot of time and effort that goes into it. Our recipient this year – Corinne Sikora – lost her life to cancer. She’s a Doylestown icon, and her dream was to have a cancer center dedicated to cancer research, and all the proceeds went to that this year,” said Bucks coach Mike Moyer, who wore his trademark all-pink suit for the game. “These girls are making a difference. As much of a rivalry as we have as schools and as programs, I just take my hat off to the girls, the parents, the coaches – everybody that puts into this and all the awesome establishments around Doylestown that donated the goods of their companies to give us 21 gift baskets that we could raffle today.
“Seeing all the people in the stands, they got a (heck) of a game. It was a great night. It just stinks that somebody has to lose that game, but we’re just glad that we can give a little bit to hopefully find the cure.”
East edged the Bucks 2-1 in a really good match the first time they played, so both teams expected another all-out battle on the pitch. Sometimes, big rivalry games can lose the plot and spirit of competition, but that was far from the case on Tuesday, with both sides just putting their all into trying to get a win and playing a clean, well-played match.
West also leaned heavily on its not-so-secret weapon of late, it’s ironclad defense. The Bucks posted their sixth straight shutout and second noise-making one following Friday’s 1-0 win at defending state champion Pennridge.
“It’s an amazing feeling, we’re on a really good streak but this game meant everything to us,” West junior co-captain and center back Courtney Moylan said. “Having everyone in the crowd pushing you, it’s such a good feeling and makes winning that much more rewarding. I’m really proud of our goalie, Jules (Broskey), she’s been stepping up a lot and the entire back line, Mariella (Neri), Ava (Longo), Kate (Weyer), Kaitlyn (Dougherty) and anyone else subbing in, we’re really connecting and with six straight shutouts, it’s a really nice feeling.”
Chances were going to be scarce anyway given the familiarity between the teams but with the Patriots trying to clinch at least a share of the SOL Colonial title and the Bucks trying to win the night, they were even harder to come by. East’s defense was equally stout and the Patriots’ strong possessors in the center of the field cut out a lot of West’s direct long passes.
“They just pass the ball very well, especially in the middle, they’re so technical,” Corona said. “I think that can be hard for us to stop. Being able to hold them off in the first half was big, just because they were so down our throats the whole time. Once we felt that, we got into the groove of things and felt confident playing against them.”
The Bucks’ defense played bravely, stepping in front of a lot of shots and passes but they couldn’t prevent everything from getting put on goal and the two best chances of the first half belonged to East’s standout senior forward, Elise Duffy.
Moylan noted trying to keep Duffy from turning and getting off her shot was a top directive defensively, but it’s easier said than done.
With 6:11 left in the half, Duffy was able to create space off the dribble and ripped in a long, curling shot that Broskey made a stellar save on, almost hitting it up like a volleyball set before controlling the carom as an East player crashed into her.
A few minutes later, a great ball by Brooke Roumy got Duffy in again, with the senior cutting to her right and hitting a low dart that Broskey got down and covered.
“Her nickname is ‘Brick Wall Broskey’ for a reason,” Moylan said. “She’s doing an amazing job, I don’t know how else to describe it, she’s just amazing. It also allows us to play more aggressively because we know she’s always there for us.”
Opportunities remained hard to come by in the second half until things broke West’s way just past the midway point. Senior Taylor Moyer, dropped beyond the midfield line, was able to win a ball, turn and spray a long pass up the field toward her fellow co-captain.
“Taylor played a beautiful ball in, I took a step around a defender then another step and shot it from outside the 18 and got it to the top right corner, right above the goalie’s hands,” Corona said. “I hit it and thought ‘oh my God, is that going to go in?’ I was questioning if I should have taken another step or have dribbled it more, but it curved right over her hands, it was the perfect timing.”
Corona’s take was right on the money, in stride, nestling into the back of the net with 19:16 to go and earning her a celebratory mob on the field and a second from the bench once she got off the field.
“It’s our bond, our team is so close and we have such great friendships so I think it plays a huge role in the way we play,” Corona said. “It’s not just about talent, it’s heart as well.”
East turned up the pressure after the goal, with Meredith Black, Cam Williams, Ashley Macomber and Elliot Forney all looking to make something happen with West sending a double team Duffy’s way every time she touched the ball.
Duffy is a willing passer though, and her crossing pass yielded the Patriots’ best chance at an equalizer a few minutes after the goal. Forney, who created issues going at the defense off the dribble, was able to turn and fire off Duffy’s pass but she hit a brick wall as Broskey made a great diving save on the point-blank shot to keep her team in front.
Weyer was a key contributor in the second half, helping on Duffy while anyone playing in the back for the Bucks showed no fear of stepping in front of any ball East sent toward the goal.
“We know, worst comes to worst and they step around us, another defender will be there,” Moylan said. “That’s the key to playing defense, you can’t be flat and you trust they’ll be there behind you. We play with a sense of urgency that allows us to get there first and hit it back to our end.”
The Patriots can still clinch at least a share of their first SOL title since 2015 on Thursday through a couple different scenarios, but a win is the most straightforward. For the team’s 14 seniors, it would be a nice first step before they make their first playoff appearance with the program next week.
West’s seniors have made the playoffs the previous three years but with this being their last run through, it’s different and it’s a sentiment their underclassmen teammates share as well.
“We know how much it means to get to districts and maybe even on to states, so it just encourages us even more,” Moylan said. “We’re making the most of each game we have, however far we go, we have to take that time to strengthen our bond as a team.”
Mike Moyer had nothing but praise for his team’s play and the Bucks coach also had plenty of encouragement and plaudits for East’s players as they were coming off the field.
“That’s six clean sheets in a row. The games have been insane. To have Pennridge and then East back to back like that – the girls are playing well,” Moyer said. “What a great night too.
“We talk about it all the time – we have a lot of new girls on the team, and we kind of fought through the first half of our season. Now we’re kind of saving our best soccer for last. We have one more to go and see where we end up in the district seedings.”
At the end of the night, instead of the usual postgame handshake line, the Bucks waited for the Patriots to break their team huddle and they shared greetings and well-wishes for each other on the field.
“There’s definitely a lot of respect between us. I know a lot of the girls on their team and a lot of girls on our team are friends with girls on their team,” Corona said. “We have a lot of respect for each other, even though this game is super emotional and we both want to win badly, it still comes down to respect when it’s over.”

North Penn 1, Central Bucks South 0
North Penn’s 10 seniors drew a line on the new turf at Crawford Stadium on Tuesday.
Playing for the final time on their home field, the Knights seniors led the charge as they closed their home schedule with a win over the Titans.
“It was just a great team win, we worked hard all over the field and had a lot of really great chances,” North Penn co-head coach Mike Rio said. “I know we all wanted to close out the final home game for our seniors so there was some extra motivation there.”
Goals haven’t come as often as North Penn would have liked this fall but it hasn’t stopped the Knights from playing good soccer and continuing to work hard for them.
“Honestly I feel like it’s the type of work and play that we’ve put in all season, and we were able to just find the back of the net tonight,” Rio said. “We had a bunch of chances, one off the post and the South keeper made some really nice saves as well.”
North Penn found the goal midway through the second half. Audrey McNair was able to carry the ball down the field, crossing one in to Haley Decker, who was able to settle the pass and slot it past the keeper.
“We were just connecting really well through the middle of the field and then finding really good outlet passes and through balls to our forwards and wingers,” Rio said. “Our defense played really well too, and Anna (Fiore) and Grace (McGarry) combined for the shutout.”

Quakertown 2, Hatboro-Horsham 1
The Panthers are doing everything in their power to make sure they’re a part of the District 1 playoffs next week.
Winning for the fourth time in five games and with their second win over a current playoff contender in the last three, they’re making a compelling case. Quakertown coach Mike Koch said it’s not anything magic or special, just a group of players working really hard and hitting their stride at the right time.
“This is huge for us, it really gives us a chance to compete for a playoff spot, I feel, and it’s all due to the fact our girls played really hard,” Koch said. “I’m really excited for them, they’ve really turned it on in the last five or six games.”
Quakertown doesn’t care how it wins and Tuesday’s result was a prime example of that. The Panthers scored a goal on each side of intermission, both coming off corner kicks and just being the team that fought a little harder in the box to get the ball in the back of the net.
Defensively, it was classic Quakertown as well, with the Panthers holding their ground and trying to take the Hatters’ best threats away from them.
“They’ve really rounded into form late in the year and I’m really happy for them and the way they’re competing,” Koch said. “The players have bought into their roles on the team. Historically when we’ve had success, that’s what happens. It’s an over-simplification but our defenders are defending, our midfielders are facilitating and winning the ball and our forwards are being dangerous.”
The Panthers’ defense was tested quite a bit, but senior keeper Madison Peacher led a robust effort that kept a clean sheet until the final minutes.
“I felt we dominated most of the game and had our chances and Quakertown’s goalie came up huge for them on a couple of our shots,” Hatboro-Horsham coach Kelsey Daley said. “(Our) defense led by Abby Waeltz, Marissa Rapino, Bridget McFadden and Gracynne Smith had a very strong game for us.”
Containing the Hatters started with containing standout sophomore Emma Levin, according to Koch. Quakertown senior Madelyn LaBonge marked Levin throughout the match, keeping the midfielder from doing damage until Levin drove in a direct free kick for her team’s goal in the final minutes of play.
“We paid very special attention to marking her, she is a very dangerous player,” Koch said. “She just glides and floats but is also fast on the ball. I love the way she competed too, she was very competitive even being marked.”
Daley also cited the play of her midfield for working through Quakertown’s determined defense.
“Sophia Liott and Emma Levin stepped up for us and played a very good game. Sophia was able to win almost everything in the air and fight through tackles. Emma created a lot of chances for us offensively and is very hard to defend,” Daley said. “Both left it out of the field today.”
Offensively, Koch felt his team had success attacking the flanks, which led to opportunities on corner kicks. Madison Kalinowski was her team’s offensive standout because of her service on the corners, which gave her teammates a chance to put a ball in the net.
“We did a good job on our corners of putting the ball in dangerous areas and battling,” Koch said. “Neither goal was a clean one, but we had players battling once we got the service in.”
Carolyn Sipprell, Quakertown’s excellent center back, got the opening goal in the first half while freshman forward Rachel McMonagle scored in the second half, picking up the eventual game-winner.
Mackenna Calabria and Angela Calvanese were also standouts defensively for the Panthers.
The win put Quakertown in the playoff mix for the moment and they’ll have an opportunity to solidify that spot in their finale Thursday night against Abington.
“We’re giving ourselves a chance to win games and they’ve done a really good job taking advantage of that,” Koch said.
Quakertown (9-5-2, 8-4-2 SOL) visits Abington at 7 on Thursday. Hatboro-Horsham (10-5-1, 10-4-1) visits Upper Dublin on Thursday.

Abington 4, Plymouth Whitemarsh 0
The Ghosts snapped a three-match losing streak with a strong second half effort against the Colonials.
PW honored its seniors with a tough-minded effort and took the visiting Ghosts to halftime with a 0-0 deadlock.
“I really want to commend our team on their effort tonight. We took a 0-0 score into halftime, and I couldn’t have been more proud of that. We were under-manned again and we, as a team, defended with 100 percent focus and commitment for 40 minutes,” PW coach TJ DeLucia said. “We couldn’t sustain that sort of pressure for 80 minutes, unfortunately. Abington is a terrific team who deserved to win. I wish them the best of luck in the playoffs.”
Maura Day got her team going with Abington’s first goal in the second half. Caroline Hughes, a senior captain, and senior Lanae Wilson-Mattison both scored following corner kicks and Harper McGinley rounded out the scoring.
Abington coach Rick Tompkins lauded the play of PW keeper Caitlyn Dinh.
“She was excellent,” Tompkins said. “She faced a boatload of shots and made several really good saves.”
The Colonials celebrated seniors Kaitlyn Flanagan, Fiona Gooneratne, Sophia Kosvitch, and Liberty Daddona.
“They are four outstanding seniors who represent PW Soccer and Plymouth Whitemarsh High School the way it should be represented,” DeLucia said. “They will be sorely, sorely missed by their coaches and teammates.
“I am so proud of our team for their performance.”

SOL Freedom
Lower Moreland 1, Springfield Twp 0
The Lions have come a very long way in two months.
From an 0-2 start without a goal to their name, Tuesday’s win secured the SOL Freedom title for the Lions. It’s an impressive feat by any measure, but one amplified by the fact Lower Moreland does not have a senior on its roster.
Second year coach Mike Gould felt the conference crown, but also the season-long chase to claim it, was the catalyst in his team’s remarkable growth.
“It means a ton to these girls. I think it’s really helped a lot of the young girls grow into leaders and their games take a massive step forward,” the Lions’ coach said. “I think it’s given them a lot of confidence about being able to compete against the highest level too.”
With Upper Moreland tying William Tennent earlier in the afternoon, Lower Moreland took the field Tuesday night knowing what was on the line.
“It was a great performance. I was really happy how focused we came out since the girls were nervous knowing a win would secure the conference,” Gould said. “We kept our shape really well, didn’t allow huge gaps and really limited Springfield’s chances besides a moment in transition in the first half where they created a good chance.”
Springfield Twp has played hard all season and kept the Lions scoreless going to halftime.
Morgan Pennisi, who was dealing with a nagging injury, fought through it and the sophomore was rewarded with the go-ahead goal in the second half.
LM was hardly free to start celebrating there.
“Sophomore Keeper Alessandra Malave had a massive PK save late in the second half that kept the game 1-0 in our favor,” Gould said.
The Lions have developed a solid attack, but the other thirds of their lineup have developed as well this season and the team’s midfield was honed in on Tuesday.
“Our two center mids, junior Payton Lennon and freshman Kenna Rozanski, really dominated the game,” Gould said. “They broke up all transition moments, won a large majority of the 50/50s and did a great job progressing the ball from our back line to our forwards.”
The Lions’ next task is making the postseason. Lower Moreland ended Tuesday seated No. 10 in Class 3A with the top 11 teams making the cut.
“I’m really proud of how far this group has come,” Gould said. “They’ve been great to work with whether it be their effort or just the fact that as a team, they seem to genuinely enjoy being around each other and I think they should be really proud of themselves too.”

Cheltenham 1, New Hope-Solebury 0
Cheltenham waited two years for an SOL win, so three games was nothing to get to its next.
The Panthers picked up their second conference win of the year Tuesday, getting some payback on the Lions after New Hope-Solebury won 1-0 the first around. Much like that game, Tuesday was a hard-fought battle decided by the slimmest of margins.
“In the first half, there were numerous opportunities for us to score, but the combination of their defense and our misses left us scoreless,” Cheltenham coach Leah Matusow said. “At halftime I talked to the girls about bringing energy both on the field and on the sideline in the second half and that’s what made the difference. We talked more, connected more passes, and could feel that a goal was coming.”
Lola Jahss proved her coach’s feeling right 10 minutes into the second half, placing a shot in the back of the net for the winning margin.
“I want to shout out our midfield today who made some great runs and played very well on both ends of the field,” Matusow said. “Our defense again held strong and our goalies, Rohan McInneshin and Amaya Washington, earned the combined shutout. It was a full team effort to earn the win today.”

William Tennent 1, Upper Moreland 1 (2 OT)
The Golden Bears had to dig down with a short turnaround but were able to take a point from their contest with the Panthers.
“With less than 24 hours for recovery from (Monday) night, we could see in our legs, and our play that we were feeling not only last night, but also the last few weeks,” UM coach Lisa Benvenuto said. “This game is demanding on its players, and the way our season is set up, to have 18 games in about six-to-seven weeks is a grind, with very little built in recovery time.”
Tennent did a good job stifling the Bears in the first half and capitalized when Kaitlyn Frank, who has been playing very well in the midfield of late, put one away with 10 minutes to go before halftime.
“Tennent’s defense did a good job in stifling our offensive build-up–Bill Hontz is a great coach, and you can tell in his preparation for today’s match,” Benvenuto said. “We went down one in the 29th minute. There was some miscommunication, and that allowed Tennent to put one in. We strung together some strong combinations and were given some opportunities but weren’t able to tie up in the first half.”
Having won for their seniors on Monday night, the Bears talked at halftime Tuesday about where they were physically, emotionally and mentally.
“Every player on our squad knew that they were going to have to dig deep. Again, we had quite a few opportunities, and a few bounces that didn’t go our way, but we persisted,” Benvenuto said. “In the 71st minute we got a corner, we pushed up the attack, and got three solid hits on the ball, the last being the tying goal by Brooke Lobban.”
Upper Moreland continued to dig and withstood the extra 20 minutes of play to secure a point in the table.
“Katie Slear, one of our center midfielders, played really strong for us in the match. We also saw some good play from Mikel Lancit, Kylie Gaul and Skye Kramer,” Benvenuto said. “The girls dug deep today, and they emptied their tanks to get the point.”
William Tennent will (6-9-1, 5-9-1 SOL) visit Lower Moreland at 7 on Thursday. Upper Moreland (9-6-2, 7-6-2) will visit New Hope Solebury at 7 on Thursday.

Neshaminy 2, Council Rock North 0
Neshaminy wasn’t afraid to set lofty goals for this season, the first being an SOL conference title.
Tuesday, the Redskins took a huge step toward getting it by beating an Indians team that had been on a strong run of play and entered the day tied for the league lead. 
“They were on a nice run, so we knew we had to come with our ‘A’ game and the girls were up to the task,” Neshaminy coach Renny Papendick said. “They’re well-coached and a very good team. It was back and forth early on and eventually we were able to exploit some things on their back line with our pace up top and sneak a couple through.”
There was no hiding from the stakes Tuesday as a loss or tie would have put a serious dent in Neshaminy’s title aspirations. Instead of running from the pressure, the visitors used it as fuel led by their seniors and captains.
“They had put messages out to the group saying it was the biggest game of the year, so we knew we had to come ready to play,” Papendick said. “We played on their turf field, which we always seem to play well on their turf. It was a total team effort, we were missing a few players with illness and injury but we played really well.”
Neshaminy was able to bag two goals before the break. The forward tandem of Kylie Maxwell and Mercedes Paino combined well, holding the ball and distributing it well while the midfield played up and applied pressure on CR North’s back line.
“Their keeper is very strong, so we knew to keep it low,” Papendick said. “Our first goal came when Carly Fox played the ball to Mercedes Paino, who put it away on a nice finish.”
Kylie Maxwell has been a handful up top all season, but the freshman’s twin sister Taylor is a dangerous and skilled player in her own right. Neshaminy moved Taylor from fullback to outside mid which let her attack a bit and provide an assist to Fox, who added a goal to her earlier helper.
“We expected the pressure that followed, and our girls were up for it,” Papendick said. “We worked a lot in the last couple weeks on the first and second defender and for our defense, it’s another clean sheet. They’re led by senior captains Jordyn Fregia and Kiera Bradley and Alexis Ocasio, who is a tremendous player, anchors the middle for us then there’s Taylor Maxwell as a freshman.”
Papendick also noted the play of his outside midfielders, Paige Borkowski and Shaylee Nelson.
CR North has two conference games remaining while Neshaminy has one but a win on Thursday would secure the Redskins no worse than a share of the conference crown. It’s also Senior Night but the ultimate outcome is getting the three points and the Neshaminy players seem to have that squarely in focus.
“At the end of the game, there was no crazy celebration, it was another game,” Papendick said. “We need to take care of business and the girls understand that.”

Council Rock South 3, Bensalem 1
The Golden Hawks celebrated Senior Night the right way, with a win over a Bensalem squad that has played much better than its record shows.
“Bob (Crawford) does a great job with Bensalem and they like to move the ball and play the right way,” CR South coach Nick Heim said. “Before the game we talked about how special of a night it is celebrating our seniors, but we need to make sure we don’t lose focus on the pregame festivities, shortened warm up, etc. our seniors understood and led the way.”
It was also a special night for the program by getting senior Sophia Dingui on the pitch for a ceremonial start thanks to some sincere sportsmanship by the visiting Owls.
“She’s out all year with a torn ACL so it was bittersweet for her,” Heim said. “Credit to Bob for allowing us to do so.”
Cam Blatz isn’t a senior, but she made sure her older teammates got the outcome they wanted by going off for all three goals in the win.
“Zoe Brossman found Cam Blatz on a run and Cam hit a great shot across her body to put us up 1-0 at half,” Heim said. “At half we stressed closing out games and starting the second half strong. The same combination combined for a second goal five minutes into the second half.
“Seven minutes later Blatz got on the end of a great through ball from senior Skyler Scarborough to put us up 3-0.”
Averi McCoy was able to pull a goal back for the Owls, but the efforts of the Hawks’ seniors led the way to the finish.
The Hawks are right on the fringe of a District 1 4A playoff spot but regardless of how things play out in the standings, the impact of their senior class won’t be altered by it.
“Each senior- Maddie Deal, Kate Millevoi, Skyler Scarborough, Julia Levin, Kennedy Kuechler, Sophia Dingui, Erin Delaney, and Dana DeDominicis – has played such a large role in our program. They set the tone for what it means to wear ‘South Soccer’ and are the epitome of leaders,” Heim said. “They each have a unique role they’ve bought into and truly embody our philosophy of “play for the person next to you”. Incredibly proud of them and thrilled they not only represent our school and community but got a solid win on their senior night.”
