Central Bucks East Comments
Senior Paige Dougherty led all scorers with five goals and reached another milestone with her 200th career goal. Paige is such a talented athlete, hard worker, great leader, and teammate, so its exciting to see her hit these milestones. Reaching 200 career goals is an incredible achievement, and I’m thrilled she was able to accomplish it this season.
Junior Cece Hayes was all over the field today. She finished with five points (3 goals, 2 assists), while also causing four turnovers, picking up nine ground balls, and securing seven draw controls. McKenna Lynch, Amanda Ries, and Natalie Berndt each added two goals, while Megan Fahey scored one.
Defensively, our unit worked extremely well together and held Pennsbury without a shot for the entire first quarter. They communicated well, slid effectively, and doubled drivers to force multiple turnovers before the ball ever reached the 8-meter area. Seniors Avery Stephenson and Bella DeHaven each had three caused turnovers, while sophomore Ella Menard collected five ground balls and did an excellent job transitioning the ball up to the attack.
Pennsbury has several very talented players who competed hard for every ball. Despite the score, we never felt comfortable with the lead until the final minutes of the game. I’m incredibly proud of every player on this team for their hard work, teamwork, communication, and ability to focus on what they can control. They continue to support one another as great teammates, and it’s been rewarding to watch them work together and find success as a group.
