Council Rock north 2, Pennsbury 1 - OT
It was a true heartbreaker for Pennsbury. The ultimate battle that resulted in a loss, but a loss that in no way reflects the amazing hockey the Falcons displayed throughout the entire game. Pennsbury dominated the first half especially, getting on the scoreboard first with a goal by Maddy Spratt (assisted by Sophia Hitchingham) and went into half time with an 1-0 lead. It was the best hockey they have played all season. The girls played confidently and with strength, intelligence, and poise and we are sure CR North was not expecting that from us. The Falcons’ offensive opportunities were abundant with breakaways, one on ones, and fantastic ball movement, but they couldn’t connect and were forced to cling to the 1-0 lead until CR North answered back quickly into the second half making it a 1-1 tie. The Falcons continued to dominate offensively led by Kayli Williams, and the standout defense by Nicole Joniak, Casey Glynn, Sammie Tosh, and Hannah Aker held North, but the score remained 1-1 in regulation. Halfway through overtime, North found the back of the cage and it was over. It happened very fast and there are still questions surrounding the events of the final moments, but what Pennsbury walked away with was joy about their performance and how far they have come this season. We could not be more proud of the team as a whole. We will continue to move forward and take each moment as it comes. The Falcons host Abington on Friday and it will be a GOLD OUT game as they fundraise for PHS Mini THON.
