CENTRAL BUCKS WEST 2, SOUDERTON 0 (Wednesday, Oct. 3)
Casey Hughes wasn’t exactly going home when her field hockey team faced Souderton on Wednesday, but there had to be a strange feeling standing on West’s sidelines facing her alma mater.
The former Souderton standout discovered that there’s no better way to get past any feelings of nostalgia than to earn a big win, which is exactly what her West squad did, avenging an early season loss to the Indians.
“It obviously feels very good to beat my alma mater,” Hughes said. “Souderton is a traditionally strong program, and I am proud to be a hockey player that was a product of that winning tradition.
“I know that I have an excellent team here at West, and I’m a very proud Buck and very happy to be wearing black and gold.”
The Bucks scored both of their goals in the first half. Junior Madison Shields put the Bucks on the scoreboard when she turned an Elena Romesburg assist into a goal at the 22:43 mark of the half. Senior Virginia Moore scored an unassisted goal at the 7:48 mark to send West into halftime with a 2-0 lead.
“It was a beautiful shot,” Hughes said of Moore’s insurance goal. “We hung on to the lead for the rest of the game and got an important shutout.
“My team played with their heart and stayed tough, and it showed. I’m proud of their determination and persistence as a team.”
The Bucks held a 12-6 advantage in shots, but the Indians had a decided edge in corners (12-3). Souderton goalie Jen Bergey turned away seven shots.
“Our defense played a solid game and did a great job holding off their powerful offense,” Souderton coach Lauren Whiteside said. “We have had a very difficult time finding the back of the net in the last few games.
“We started to play well as a team in the second half, but it was ‘too little too late’ at that point. Having 12 corners and not converting on any is just not acceptable in this league. I am confident that we will figure it out and work on what needs to be fixed.”
With the win, the Bucks (11-3, 7-3 SOL) remain in second place behind Central Bucks South while the Indians saw their record drop to 5-5 in the league (5-6 overall).
American Conference
UPPER DUBLIN 2, CHELTENHAM 0
The Flying Cardinals rebounded from a disappointing 2-0 loss to Norristown on Tuesday to earn the much-needed win.
“This was very important,” coach Heather Boyer said. “The girls played a really good game on Tuesday against Norristown. We had a stroke called against us with two-and-a-half minutes to go for stick obstruction at the top of the circle.
“You can take from that what you want, but when the opposing coach agrees it was a bad call, that was frustrating, and that took us out of the game. For the girls to come back and play a really nice game against Cheltenham was important. They did a really nice job.”
The Flying Cardinals received goals from Jen Harchut and Alycia Hildebrand. Sam Boyd assisted on both goals, but when it was over, Boyer was talking about her team’s defense.
“We have been struggling with teams taking the first possession of the game and forcing a corner on that possession,” the Flying Cardinals’ coach said. “In today’s game, we held them corner-less the entire first half.”
Boyer went on to credit the performance of keepers Dana Russell and Julia McKernan as well as sweeper Sydney Lang, left back Julia Heller, center back Natalie Berger and right back Naomi Milrod.
“They really did a nice job today,” she said. “It’s tough when you’re not winning, but the kids have maintained a positive attitude and are still working hard.
“They continue to give their best effort every game, which is all you can ask for. I’m very fortunate.”
With the win, the Flying Cardinals improved to 3-7 in the league (3-9 overall) while the Lady Panthers fell to 2-7 in the league (2-9 overall).
WISSAHICKON 6, PLYMOUTH WHITEMARSH 1
Emily Gallagher scored a pair of goals and assisted on another while teammates Melanie Fry, Stacie Rocco, Ashley Laskowitz and Catherine Campbell each added single goals. Fry, Lashkowitz and Jackie Gibbs each added an assist.
Morgan Nagy scored the lone goal for the Colonials.

While the Colonials fell to 5-4 in conference play (5-7 overall), the Trojans improved to 9-1 in the league (10-3 overall).
NORRISTOWN 3, UPPER MORELAND 0
Monica Levins (Vanessa Fosco assist) put the Eagles on the scoreboard just over six minutes into the game, and Norristown led 2-0 after Levins returned the favor, setting up a Fosco goal just over 12 minutes into the opening half.
