Comments:

Extremely proud of the team for getting through the league 5-0 first time through. That hasn't been done since the division changes some years back. It wasn't easy especially with two physical games this week against Abington and Upper Dublin.


We felt really good about the way we set up after seeing Upper Dublin on film. But, we needed to dictate play from the start. It took us 20 minutes to get into the Abington game. Today, we took control quickly. About 10 minutes into the game, the ball finds Mia Baron's feet who turns and plays a really nice ball through to Marleigh Burton who had a fantastic finish at a really tough angle, for Marleigh's second goal of the season.

5 minutes later, junior Maddi Lazaroff takes a corner and finds Maddie McGuckien's head. Maddie has scored in five straight, all in-league. She controlled the game from the backline and continues to be lethal in front of net. She has been an absolute force first time through the league. Maddi Lazaroff has been terrific in her service from corners. That was her team-leading fifth assist of the season.

With 7 minutes remaining in the half, Keira Whelan receives the ball at her feet from a throw, holds it up well, gets to the endline and puts an excellent cross in and freshman Molly McEvoy makes a great near post run to score her second goal of the season.

Upper Dublin really responded in the second half. Credit to them for pushing for the final 40 minutes. We held on.

While we're excited tonight about being 5-0 in the league, that wasn't our goal. We have a long way to go and a super quick turnaround to take on the defending 3A District Champions, West Chester Rustin. On the road. Really poor scheduling by me but our team will be up for it.
