Pennsbury Comments
The Falcons kept their win streak alive on their home turf with a victory over Truman yesterday. Scoring in every quarter, PHS connected ten times and held their opponent to zero to shut out the Tigers 10-0. "The Truman goalie played an awesome game denying a majority of our 36 shots on goal," complimented PHS head coach, Traci Curtis. "It is inspiring to watch their players play with heart and a never give up attitude. I always walk away from our games against them with a smile, not because of our victory, but because of the raw determination of the Truman team that is more real than many of us can admit to having. The coaches are doing a great job helping the team grow and progress in the sport. It's so nice to see," said Curtis. Abby Iacona kicked off the scoring for the black and orange with a beautiful shot on goal during a penalty corner in the first quarter - assisted by inserter, Ava Jordan. Rylee Askey notched two consecutive goals to finish out the first 15 minutes, sending PHS into the second quarter up 3-0. Olivia Coen was the lone scorer in the second quarter with great reaction and pressuring the goalie's pads. Abby Anderer earned the assist for that goal putting the Falcons up 4-0 going into the half. Pennsbury tallied 3 goals in the third quarter lighting up the scoreboard 7-0. Liv Coen was not slowing down on attack as she assisted one and scored one during that time. Allison Goldfarb scored on a beautiful finish, batting the ball out of the air into the cage with authority (assisted by Coen)! Delaney Jones added an unassisted, strong, hard shot passed the keeper and Coen used her awesome reverse stick lifting skills to work it around the goalie while fighting in front of the cage. The Falcons, once again, scored three goals in the final quarter to finish out the game winning 10-0. Ella Bray, Ryan Burdette, and Ava Jordan were the goal scorers with Liv Coen assisting two of the three. "We were very pleased with the effort in the attacking circle to finish. Any opportunity we get to be successful and gain confidence in that space is great for us as a whole," explained Curtis. "This is the height of intensity for the season as we prepare to enter back into league play over the final few weeks. We have a lot of work to do and plan to take our momentum and double down," said Curtis. The Falcons will travel to Quakertown on Monday to kick off the week.
