The Pennsbury Falcons are flying into the weekend on a four game winning streak and ready to take a well deserved breath. They hopped aboard the bus Friday afternoon to travel to Springfield Township HS and face the Spartans. This was the first meeting between the two teams and resulted in another win for the black and orange. The Falcons struck first half way through the first quarter on a tipped pass in front of the cage. "One thing our girls are doing really well is moving the ball up the field together using great passing combinations," said head coach, Traci Curtis. "Coach Riley and I were waiting for them to get into a groove today - we started off a little slowly again and had to find our center and calibrate a bit," explained Curtis. "Once they got into rhythm, the ball moved up the field beautifully. Angelina Kenney worked with Abby Iacona to get the pass across the circle and Regan Rodriguez finishing with a nice goal," said Curtis. The Falcons took a 1-0 lead and that held going into the second quarter. The second quarter was a little flat on both sides of the ball and despite PHS dominating on attack they could not seem to make anything happen. With a slim one goal lead, Pennsbury was looking for a spark. With three minutes left before halftime, a spark ignited with an awesome deflected goal from senior, Allison Goldfarb. "The second goal was really beautiful and came at just the right time. Abby Iacona sent a bullet across the circle and Goldfarb was in the perfect spot in ready position to pop it up right passed the goalie at full speed," Curtis said. Pennsbury took a 2-0 lead going into halftime and was looking to add some cushion knowing the Spartans were in no way going to give up easily. And they didn't. As the third quarter clocked clicked down to 46 seconds, Springfield took advantage of a PHS defensive breakdown and Gracie Buchhoez dribbled through defenders and shot one that got by goalie, Abby McCole. "It was a moment of let down and a huge lesson learned," said Curtis. "We need to do a better job in denying teams those last minute opportunities," admitted Curtis. "It was now a 2-1 game going into the final quarter but we could have held them at zero with a more focused performance in that final minute. That is all the mental side of the moment and something we need to sharpen," said Curtis. The Falcons were not finished as they added their third goal six minutes into the fourth quarter. Senior, Riley Askey, assisted Angelina Kenney who found an opening to the keeper's left and scored. Despite the 3-1 lead, PHS was not backing down, making sure to secure the win before getting back on the bus. They did just that for the remaining six minutes, holding the Spartans to a scoreless quarter and taking the win with them back to Pennsbury. "It's so great to see a variety of players scoring for us," said Curtis. "The team has really embraced our theme, The Power of ONE, and takes the responsibility of that seriously. We had standout performances from Cailyn Reilly in the back with her patient and confident play and Ayla Alon played great defense for us as well. Ryan Burdette and Abby Iacona contributed to almost every play and supported their teammates in all that they did. Pennsbury will host Upper Moreland on Tuesday and Truman on Thursday next week.
