Souderton - 3
CB West - 0
A repeat scoreline from the teams first meeting of the season, but a game in which Souderton looked much more in control of the match. Souderton started on the front foot and showed strong possession in the midfield earl one. Souderton's high pressure forced West to send the ball long with only a small number of chances getting behind Souderton's defense.
There were very limited goal scoring opportunities in the first half until sophomore Averie Doughty entered the match. In the final ten minutes of the half senior Sarah Readinger found Doughty with a long ball over the top of the defense. Doughty beat West's last defender with pace to go in on net 1-on-1 with the keeper and placed the ball in the back of the net to put her team up 1-0.
At the start of the second half, Souderton looked to be on the front foot again and Doughty was on the end of a flurry of chances in the first 15 minutes and was a bit unlucky not to grab her second goal of the match. With about 13 minutes left in the half CB West had a quality chance to tie the game with a corner kick that was nodded just over the bar from close range.
That was all it took for Souderton to press even harder. With 11 minutes left, senior Erin O'Keefe found herself in some space on the wing and hit a cross towards the back post for the onrushing Souderton attack. The cross was over-hit and found its way into the far corner of the net for Souderton's second goal. Two minutes later Souderton was able to build up from the back as the defense played a ball to sophomore Taylor Yoder on the wing, who was able to make a smart turn on her defender and advance the ball further upfield. Yoder's ball down the line found senior Campbell Power, who took the dribbled to the endline and slotted a nice low cross to O'Keefe for her second goal of the match.
With the third goal Souderton closed out a convincing victory against a tough opponent at home.
