SOL Colonial
Central Bucks South 2, North Penn 0
Four games into their season, the Titans had done a good job of not allowing too many scoring opportunities to their opponents.
However, CB South also wasn’t generating very many offensive looks of its own. With the back end seemingly in a groove, South coach Gabbie Nolan started looking for ways to wake up the attack and give seniors Allison Sauers and Eva Costello some more space.
“We made a few changes to how we want to play, so we created a lot more scoring opportunities today,” Nolan said. “The chances are there, so now it’s about finishing them. We connected more passes today than any other game this season.”
The big change really wasn’t all that big. There weren’t any dramatic formation changes or positional switches, just some tweaks in spacing.
“We started keeping our wings higher and not having them play as defensive as they were before,” Nolan said. “It opened up a lot for us and they were able to run onto a lot of through balls.”
Sauers and Costello took advantage early, with Sauers converting a pass from Costello into a 1-0 lead the Titans carried to halftime. Getting a goal quickly was beneficial, as Knights keeper Sam Ridler denied a couple other good opportunities to keep North Penn in the game.
“Eva’s assist to Allison was played up the left side of the field and Allison touched to middle inside the 18 and finished,” Nolan said.
After the break, Costello got one of her own thanks to a helper from sophomore Haley Helsel.
“Haley Helsel played her best game of the season so far today,” Nolan said. “Haley played with confidence today and it showed in every aspect of her play.”
Coaches aren’t the only ones able to make changes and Nolan credited Costello for seeing something and speaking up about it that helped the left-footed senior find her chance to score.
“Haley’s assist was from across the field and Eva cut back on the right side of the field to score far post from around the 18,” Nolan said. “Eva actually asked right before she subbed in if she could play on the right side to be able to cut it back for a shot with her left and ended up scoring that exact way.”
The first-year Titans coach also had praise for another sophomore in defensive mid Olivia Wade.
“Olivia seemed to fit better in the holding spot and looked more natural there,” Nolan said. “She played hard, won a lot of balls and tackles, and then made the connecting outlet pass.”
South (3-2, 2-2 SOL) hosts Pennridge at 3:30 pm on Monday. North Penn (1-4, 1-3) hosts CB East at 3:30 pm on Monday.

Pennridge 1, Central Bucks West 0
The Bucks and Rams are no stranger to close, physical battles against each other.
Over the past four years before Friday’s clash, the teams were 2-2 against each other with three of those matches decided by one goal. After Friday, it was four one-goal games in the last five with the Rams grabbing a decision that could have gone either way.
“I thought we played a really good game,” West coach Mike Moyer said. “We knew we had to keep up with their pace and for the most part we handled it pretty well. My back line bent but it never broke – Courtney Moylan, Ava Longo, Reegan Moran, Ava Bruner and Janelle Blokker were great today.
“Eva Wierzbowski did a remarkable job today in the midfield.”
While the scoreboard read 0-0 at the half, it wasn’t for a lack of trying from either side. The Bucks’ senior goalkeeper also lived up to her nickname of “Brick Wall” turning away some quality opportunities.
“Jules Broskey showed why she was a first-teamer last year because she played lights-out today,” Moyer said.
Pennridge drew a penalty kick with about 15 minutes left, with junior Liv Grenda converting from the spot.
Teams don’t have four one-goal games, three of them of the 1-0 variety, in five tries by having poor defenses and Pennridge’s back line played as tough as West’s on Friday. The Rams have allowed just one goal in four games, and they were able to hold off any chances to equalize before the final whistle.
“We had some good chances at the end to get the equalizer, but we just couldn’t find the back of the net. Their defense does a great job either denying or blocking shots,” Moyer said. “I was happy with our performance today. I hope this young team can continue to get better each game.”
Pennridge (4-0 SOL) visits Central Bucks South at 3:30 pm on Monday. CB West (3-2) hosts Souderton at 7 pm on Monday.
SOL Patriot
Council Rock North 3, Neshaminy 3 (2 OT)
Neshaminy and Council Rock North ended the day the same way they ended league play last fall – all even.
Last year’s co-champions of the SOL Patriot met for the first time this season on Friday and in no real surprise, produced a thriller. With the teams having combined for 28 goals on the season entering play, it was also no real surprise they both found the back of the net several times.
“It’s hard to describe how good the game was today,” North coach Gavin Flannigan said. “If you were a neutral then I’m sure it was phenomenal; if you were a fan of either team, I’m sure it was great, but as a coach it was brutal!”
In a match of two quality teams that also know the outcome will matter later in the season, every touch is magnified. With a high-pressure environment, players from both sides rose to the occasion.
“We made some defensive mistakes today, and against an organized team like CR North you can’t do that because they will make you pay, and they did,” Neshaminy coach Josh Van Reed said. “However, our subs did a great job today, stepped in and continued to keep the pace of the game high.”
A back-and-forth tilt for all 100 minutes, it reflected in the scoring. Mia Cairone opened the scoring for CR North, using a great pass by Sara Tyler to be able to turn and rocket an effort into the far top corner of the goal.
“After our goal, Neshaminy was probably better than us, they were quicker and applied more pressure which led to their equalizer,” Flannigan said. “Neshaminy is very talented, they’re very strong in the middle of the field with Mercedez Paino and Abby Collins. It’s also no secret how good Kylie Maxwell is up top.”
In fact, it was Maxwell who tied things up 1-1.
“She got a nice through ball behind the defense by Paige Borkowsi,” Van Reed said.
Maxwell and Cairone share a couple things – they’re both forwards, they’re both sophomores and they’re both really good at putting a ball in the back of a net.
Cairone showed her skills by breaking loose just before the half and netting her second goal of the game for a 2-1 lead.
“We said at halftime that we were confident it wouldn’t be a 2-1 game and that we needed more goals, unfortunately Neshaminy came out after the break and took it to us,” Flannigan said. “They managed to grab a quick 3-2 lead, but I was proud of our team for not folding and continuing to try and play how we wanted.”
Maxwell answered Cairo’s second goal with a second of her own, turning a feed from Mercedez Paino into a 2-2 tie. Paino then had a finishing touch, receiving a cross with her back to the goal, turning quickly and tucking it home for Neshaminy’s first lead.
The Indians came back five minutes later to level it again.
“We were able to tie it with a great first-time finish from Jayne Bogle after a really good through ball from Alyssa Tyler,” Flannigan said. “After that each team had some great opportunities, both goalkeepers made some good saves and it became a battle of attrition in the heat on our turf.”
Both sides definitely felt the toll.
“We had five girls cramping up throughout the second half,” Van Reed said. “Our midfielders – Abby Collins, Paige Borkowski and Mercedez Paino – did a great job. Allie Ortman, Gyzell Rowan and Sierra Cofer all played very well coming on from the bench.”
Likewise, CR North had plenty of contributors that helped make it to the final whistle.
“I think every player who played today had a positive impact on the game, even though we conceded three goals. I thought Peyton Radosti and Kate Thomson were very good,” Flannigan said. “It was a good test for our young team, and we are proud of their perseverance throughout. Our league is very competitive, and although we didn’t get the win we wanted, I think a tie will prove to be a great result.”
CR North (3-1-1, 2-1-1 SOL) visits Pennsbury at 3:30 pm on Monday. Neshaminy (2-0-1) visits Bensalem at 3:30 pm on Monday.

Council Rock South 4, Pennsbury 0
The Golden Hawks undoubtedly burned a lot of energy and emotion with Wednesday’s win over Council Rock North, but life in the SOL does not provide much time for reflection.
Any positive gains from a big win on their new turf wouldn’t mean much if they gave it all back on Friday, and matching up with Pennsbury meant that was a very real possibility.
“We had an emotional win over our sister school Wednesday, and we stressed to the girls that we have to forget about that quickly, and not have a letdown with another league rival coming to town,” South coach Nick Heim said. “We challenged our girls to answer the first whistle, and to their credit, they did exactly that.”
It took just five minutes for CR South to get a goal and it would prove an important one.
“We found Kylee Bamberger on a nice run and she forced their goalie to make a diving save, which Kathryn O’Kane was able to find a rebound on to put us up 1-0,” Heim said. “The rest of the half was back and forth with us adjusting to Pennsbury’s formation.”
At halftime, the Hawks met and talked through some adjustments all while again stressing the response from the whistle to start the second 40 minutes.
Again, it took just five minutes for CR South to get a goal and this one would help open things up considerably.
“Zoe Brossman stood over a free kick and put one upper 90 from 35-40 yards out. A few minutes later, Brossman was fouled about 25 yards out and noticed the goalie standing on the post setting up a wall. Zoe played a quick free kick into the back of the net to make it 3-0,” Heim said. “Zoe is a workhorse, and her soccer IQ is incredibly high- it’s no surprise she was the one that would see this type of quick free kick to score.”
Bamberger added an assist later in the half, feeding Kelly Lee who then knifed her way past two defenders and slotted home the finish.
“Really pleased with the effort and play from our group today. Every position contributed to the win, and players gave us some quality minutes off the bench to see out the shutout,” Heim said. “After the game we stressed that it was a total team effort, and we need to continue that momentum if we want to accomplish the goals the girls have set for themselves.”
The Falcons (1-2-2, 1-2-0 SOL) host CR North at 3:30 pm on Monday. CR South (3-1-1, 3-1) visits Harry S Truman at 3:30 pm on Tuesday.

Bensalem 3, Harry S Truman 0
With the Owls coming off one of their biggest wins in recent years Wednesday, they couldn’t overlook a Tigers team eager to make some noise of its own.
Truman kept Bensalem contained and a little frustrated for a half, but the Owls cracked the code after halftime to pick up a second league win in three days.
“It’s more of a relief, we want to keep the girls positive and upbeat and showing them they can win,” Bensalem coach Bob Crawford said. “Truman did a great job in the first half containing us. I really want to give them credit, they did some nice things today.”
Crawford said it was Truman’s defense, especially in the first 20 minutes, that had his team most frustrated. The Tigers kept their shape well and continually caught Owls’ attackers offsides, stifling their offense early.
“At halftime, we told them to start attacking the flanks a little bit and to be more patient with their passing,” Crawford said. “When Truman was pressing us, that’s when we started going forward. It was nice for me, because they were able to start figuring things out on their own first.”
It was Bensalem’s defensive unit, led by Devon Bell, Brooke Esposito, Julia Liebig, Vanessa Shay and Lily Salayda, that actually helped break down Truman’s defense just by being patient and connecting their passes.
For a young team that’s both still building its identity and learning to play as a unit, Friday’s win was as important as Wednesday’s for Bensalem.
“Sometimes when things aren’t going your way, frustration sets in,” Crawford said. “Not letting that frustration set in is sometimes half the battle.
“The coach at Truman has really done a good job with their girls. He kept them organized, he kept them pressing us and I can’t count how many times they caught us offsides.”
Lacey Long – a freshman who has been splitting time between JV and varsity – was the offensive standout on Friday. She had two goals, including the eventual game-winner.
“She finally settled down, and to see her have a little bit of success was nice,” Crawford said. “On the first one, she poked it past the defense and the goalie came out to challenge her. She was calm and instead of trying to shoot it, she took her on as a player, dribbled around her and put it in.”
The Owls doubled their lead using their passing and patience. A sequence through the middle led to a pass out on the flank where fullback Michael Rogers was making a run.
“She put the ball across, and Lexi Dubzak did a good job of running in, putting a foot on it and putting it in,” Crawford said. “The last one was almost the same, Carmen Decaro beat someone on the outside, put it in and Lacey was there to put it in.
“We just want to keep teaching lessons off each game.”

SOL Liberty
Hatboro-Horsham 2, Quakertown 0
Even with a long ride up Route 309 to get there, the Hatters got off the bus ready to go against Quakertown.
However, it would take a little bit of time for the offense to catch up and break down the usually stout Panthers defense.
“Overall it was another great team win for us with a lot of girls getting good minutes,” Hatters coach Kelsey Daley said. “We came out very strong and communicated and were connecting passes from the start of the game.”
Following a 40-minute scoreless first half, the host Panthers were able to keep the SOL Liberty leaders off the board for another 10 minutes in the second half.
“It took us a little longer to find the back of the net, but we found it with Mia Malofiy sending a through ball to Sarah Boland who took a touch and fired it off the top cross bar to go in the net,” Daley said. “It was a beautiful set up and finish.”
Malofiy has been in a groove since the start of the season for Hatboro-Horsham and did little to slow that down on Friday.
“Mia Malofiy played an awesome game for us today,” Daley said. “She’s been really dominating the center for us and with her speed and determination she is very hard to defend.”
Fittingly, she also had the assist on the second goal which was another bit of soccer mastery from junior Emma Levin.
“Mia found Emma Levin’s feet where Emma beat two defenders to finish a great shot,” Daley said. “When the ball gets to Levin’s feet, it is just really hard for anyone to defend her. With her speed and foot skills she just glides across the field being untouched.”
Alyssa Tooley and the defense recorded their third straight shutout and the Hatters have outscored their last three foes 7-0.

Upper Dublin 1, Plymouth Whitemarsh 0
Alex Devers’ name had been glaringly absent from Upper Dublin’s scoresheet this season but not for lack of trying.
The Cardinals senior, a Christopher Newport recruit, had been about as unlucky as they come to open the campaign. Teammates had stepped up in her place, but UD is at its best when Devers is firing, so to get going, she just kept firing shots.
Her unlucky streak ended Friday, and it was just what the Cardinals needed to get past the Colonials.
“She’s a threat to score from anywhere 30 yards in so it’s important to us that she continues to take shots. Shooters shoot,” UD coach Chuck Gesing said. “She’s been unlucky, but I want her to shoot her way out of this unlucky stretch. Today was a great step for her. She keeps shooting and she’ll continue to have success.”
Finally, 14 minutes into the first half, the success came.
“Alex’s blast from 25 out dipped at the last moment to get past PW’s keeper,” Gesing said.
With a goal in hand, it would be up to Upper Dublin’s defensive crew to withstand a bombardment of free kicks from PW’s artillery. Gesing estimated the Colonials blasted double-digit free kicks into the 18-yard box, challenging the back line and sophomore keeper Jordyn Levine into action.
Levine posted her first clean sheet of the year in a deserved performance.
“She does not lack confidence. She knows the position. She plays at a high level of club soccer and has had great training,” Gesing said. “Even when she gets scored on, it doesn’t seem to rattle her. She gets back between the pipes and plays with confidence.”
She had plenty of help too and not just from the backs as the Cardinals defended as a team to see out the result.
“The Cardinals defense held strong with fantastic efforts by Emeline Bell, Erin Seabrook, Abby O’Meara and Allison Stenstrom with help from Sophia Sirianni,” Gesing said. “I was especially proud of the midfield defense of Regan Rubin, Alaina Sanders and Alex Devers.”

Abington 5, Wissahickon 1
Friday’s game had plenty at stake for the host Trojans and visiting Ghosts.
With both teams wanting to get a win to stay a game back of Hatboro-Horsham in the division standings, it was Abington’s front five offensively that turned the game. Forwards Lily Gray, Harper McGinley and Piper McGinley and senior midfielders Maura Day and Carley Slavin had the Ghosts firing off to snap Wiss’ three-match win streak.
“They had a good game, I was very pleased,” Abington coach Rick Tompkins said. “I talked to (Wiss coach) Chris McDaniels after and he just said ‘your front line was relentless,’ and they were. We had a lot of really good interplay between Maura, Carley, Harper, Piper and Lily – the five of them, they just went up and down the field.”
Prior to the season, Tompkins had highlighted Gray as a player to watch. The senior has backed it up so far and added two goals to her season total on Friday in a breakout campaign.
“She’s a very unselfish player, I want her to shoot more, she’s had chances where she’s bringing the ball across and they’re not getting finished,” Tompkins said. “She’s probably the most skilled player on the team. We do testing in the preseason for juggling, I tell them they have to be able to do 25 and she goes and cranks out 477 – I told her ‘enough already, I can’t count this high.’
“She’s got a very sweet touch and she’s active in ballet so if you watch her run, she’s extremely graceful so I’m sure there’s a transfer of skills there. I run a summer league and she really started to show up, I think more than anything, it’s confidence. She’s a senior, she’s saying ‘it’s my team, I can do this.'”
The McGinley twins – Harper and Piper – didn’t score or post an assist against the Trojans but their roles offensively have been integral.
“They just work,” Tompkins said. “Piper holds the ball so well and drops it back for Carley and Maura or gets it out on the side to her sister or Lilly and she’s very good at decision making. It makes a big difference.”
Day and Slavin – teammates this summer at the club level with PSC Coppa Rage where they won a national title – combined again on a corner 
with Slavin heading in Day’s service before Day converted a penalty kick later in the match. Natalene Clemson scored her first goal of the season in the second half as Abington rotated plenty of players onto the field.
“Wissahickon has some really, really good players – Kylie Friedman, Sage Stelzer, Margo Kasenchar – those girls can play,” Tompkins said. “Chris is banged up a little bit, they’re missing three starters so that hurts, it’s like feeling you’re going into a battle with only half your weapons.”
Tompkins also credited the play of freshman goalkeeper Addison Hayden who has continued to take charge of the back line.
“I think she was rightfully intimidated early on but now she’s confident and you can see it in the way she commands back there,” Tompkins said. “She’s not a goalie, she’s a soccer player who happens to play goal. She gets the game so that helps my defense, she’s got the best view of it and it’s difficult as a ninth grader telling seniors what you want them to do but if you want to be successful, you have to be that way.”
Abington is hoping the win can be a launch pad of sorts with crossover play starting in the middle of the upcoming week.
“I want to get the girls who haven’t been playing as much a little more time,” Tompkins said. “We’ve run a gauntlet, some of these games were wars but we’re rounding into shape. I think we have a chance to be there at the end.”
Abington hosts Quakertown on Monday at 4pm. Wissahickon hosts Plymouth Whitemarsh on Monday at 7 pm.

SOL Freedom
Lower Moreland 2, Springfield Twp 0
The final score was the same as it’s been all season, but getting there was a little different for the Lions.
“This was the fourth straight game with this score,” Lower Moreland coach Todd Hill said. “The most significant part of this is that Sandra Malave has yet to give up a goal. She was tested several times today and came up with the stop each time.”
A match that pitted the top two scorers in the division with LM’s Nikki Sahl and her six goals against Kaleigh Evans and her seven for Springfield Twp naturally ended with neither of them putting one away. Sahl still found her way into the book with an assist and more importantly, a win.
As for Evans, who already has two hat-tricks this fall, the Lions didn’t want to give the forward any windows to get comfortable.
“The defense was aware of Kaleigh’s ability to score, so they were always aware of where she was, man marked her any time she had the ball, and another defender stepped in to support when Kaleigh was able to win the initial one-on-one battle,” Hill said. “Abbie Wasserstrom and Amelia Brown did a great job with their communication and supporting one another in today’s battle.
“I also think Maddie Sahl provided some valuable minutes off the bench on the defensive line. She has a high soccer IQ that really helps our defense against a strong attack like we saw today.”
Lower Moreland split a goal on each side of halftime but definitely had to work for both of them.
“Springfield played a strong, physical game. It took us a while to settle into a good rhythm, but once Kenna Rozanski scored on a ball delivered from Nikki Sahl, we seemed to settle into a better flow,” Hill said. “The second goal came in the second half when Abbie Wasserstrom hit a nice free kick from near the corner flag into the box and Morgan Pennisi came up with a great finish.
“This was a gritty game. Our girls had to work hard the whole game. Springfield made us really work for it. It feels like every time we are faced with a physically challenging game, Payton Lennon steps in and dominates the middle of the field with a strong, physical presence and the rest of the girls respond to the tone that Payton sets.”

Upper Moreland 3, Cheltenham 0
Both the Golden Bears and Panthers entered Friday coming off losses earlier in the week and looking to see what improvements they made from those outings.
A fiercely contested first half ended with UM in front, and the Bears were able to take charge in the second half to pick up the win.
“Our league is really competitive, and each team that steps onto the field is always showing up to battle and win. Day in and day out, our players are in the grind, doing all they can to get the win. We saw that in our match-up with Springfield Wednesday, and we knew that Cheltenham was going to show up as well,” Upper Moreland coach Lisa Benvenuto said. “The loss to Springfield Wednesday was tough, and we needed to regroup and learn from that experience.”
UM’s opening tally came late in the half when Kylie Wiest scored her first varsity goal with about four minutes until the break.
“Today, we did a really good job at moving the ball, winning 50/50’s and finishing our attacks. It was great to see Kylie Wiest get her first varsity goal,” Benvenuto said. “Brooke Lobban and Willow Taylor are workhorses, they were able to connect for Willow’s goal, and Brooke was then able to finish one off a great ball from Katie Slear.”
The Panthers are improving with each game as well, but Friday showed them the importance of keeping their energy high for a full 80 minutes.
“We came out strong and played well in the first half. I like how we took what we learned at practice and from other games then started to piece things together,” Cheltenham coach Leah Matusow said. “The second half, we didn’t come out with the same intensity, and Upper Moreland capitalized on that. They are a well-coached team and did the little things well on both sides of the ball.”
Willow Taylor, who has been as consistent as they come in front of goal for UM, added another goal to her season total four minutes into the second half off a Brooke Lobban assist. Lobban would have to wait a bit, but sealed things up in the final minute with her finish from Katie Slear.
Natalie Walton posted her second clean sheet of the fall, getting plenty of help from defenders Annalise Messina, Skye Kramer and Devin Bush.
“Our defense and midfield did a great job in containing Cheltenham’s attack, and we were quick on our transitional play out of the middle and the back line,” Benvenuto said. “Kyra Favors, Eliza Feil, Katie Slear, Maggie Brophy, and Nicole Cancel played really strong in center of the field for us and were integral to this win.”

William Tennent 1, New Hope-Solebury 0
Despite coming up a goal short, New Hope-Solebury’s defense put up an admirable effort on Friday.
Goalkeeper Margaret Tresler continued her fine play this fall, with back Elena Shire and Nicole Michael plus midfielder Nina Meixler standing firm in front of goal.
“In the first half, Tennent had us very much back on our heels but our defense held tough,” Lions coach Matt Duffey said. “Credit to our team for shutting down Tennent’s offense for most of the game.”
“We were starting to get some momentum going after making a slight formation adjustment and had some decent opportunities on corner kicks and a couple of nice crosses we just weren’t able to finish.”
The Panthers finally broke the tie with seven minutes left, forcing New Hope-Solebur to try and chase an equalizer.
“We tried to push for a goal but we couldn’t get a solid look,” Duffey said. “Tennent played very solid defense and kept us from getting anything dangerous going for good portions of the game.”
Tennent visits Lower Moreland at 7 pm on Monday. New Hope Solebury hosts Upper Moreland at 3:30 pm on Monday.
