CHELTENHAM 10, NEW HOPE SOLEBURY 8
Cheltenham came out with the victory in their first league game of the season with a final score of 10-8. The defensive end held strong with important stops and interceptions while the offensive end came together with smart plays. Both teams exchanged goals throughout, but Cheltenham took a lead in the first half and kept the momentum going.
By the numbers: Cheltenham: Bri Gardner (5 goals), Mia Haugen (1 goal), Maggie Leighton (3 goals), Marelle Johnston (1 goal), and Megan Robinson (10 saves).
Cheltenham coach Emily Towey: “It’s truly been a phenomenal start to the season for these girls. As a coach, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing your athlete's hard work pay off. The girls are working together, stepping up, and learning as we go. We have been making changes and adjustments when needed but we can constantly see the teamwork, adaptability, and chemistry on the field."
Up next: The Panthers (4-0 overall) travel to Lower Moreland for a Friday matchup.
