Upper Moreland adjusted to the grass quickly. Olivia Torres had three assists on the day. Olivia loves to score, but really her gift is setting her teammates up for goals. She has great timing and vision to be able to see when to make the pass into the circle to create scoring opportunities for her teammates.
The coaches commented that all the seniors played very well today.
–Props: Senior Kaelyn Ashley used her stickwork well on the wing getting the ball by the Cheltenham defenders. Sekia Bell was effective in the circle getting multiple touches and great passes to teammates. Soph Riehle put in two more goals and an assist today. Soph is more confident and effective in the circle her senior year and really feels comfortable in her center forward position. Gianna Jones made the switch to midfield this year and has worked hard to learn the role and has become a contributor with her strong stickwork. Charlotte Russo has come into her own her senior year, growing into a versatile defender and was able to use her strong pushes to get the ball out of the grass up to the midfielders.
Tenth grader Molly Gould scored her first varsity goal today. Molly is our spark off the bench! When we put her in the game, everyone seems to feed off her positive energy! Defensively Brigget Hess was strong along with Hannah Gardner helping goalie Izzy Fisher to preserve the shutout. Fisher had two saves in the shutout. Even though Kourtney Malone is not in the scoring stats, she was one of the strongest players on the field today and just keeps getting better and better every game. Strong Junior returner MJ Reilly uses her field knowledge and presence to guide and support Kourtney on the sideline.
Up next: Upper Moreland will host William Tennent Thursday, and Cheltenham will host Norristown in a non-league game Friday.

Plymouth Whitemarsh coach Charise Halteman:
--The game: "PW and the Mount played a tightly contested first quarter, but some injuries put PW at a disadvantage throughout the game. Mount was able to convert on a great shot and tip at the two-minute mark of the second quarter to enter halftime with a 1-0 lead.
“The Mount scored two quick goals in the third quarter at the 13:27 and 10:04 mark to give them a 3-0 lead. PW continued to fight and found numerous attacking opportunities throughout the game but could only convert on one penalty corner. Kaleigh Boland gave a strong pass across the top of the circle and Sophie Kerns finished with a strong shot to the corner of the cage.”
