The visiting Falcons raced out to a 10-5 halftime lead on their way to the big conference win.“We could tell from the vibes from the girls when we got there today – they wanted to win, and they were ready to play,” coach Shannon MacPherson said. “They went out and they did it.” The Titans pulled to within four midway through the second half.  “We called a timeout and told the girls they needed to play to win,” MacPherson said. “They went back out and finished the game strong.  “They all did such a good job tonight. We continue to have multiple girls scoring every game.”  Maggie Golder had 13 draw controls in a contest that saw the Falcons win 27 draws.  “We were winning the draws, and I think that was huge for us tonight,” MacPherson said. “Attack did a really nice job possessing the ball, taking care of the ball, moving it quickly and running the plays.  “Defensively, they worked as a unit.

We needed a goalie, and she stepped up. She was a field player, and I think that’s helpful - she had stick skills.  “Six saves doesn’t sound like a lot, but they were definitely key saves. She’s working hard.”  Pennsbury (5-3, 14-3 overall) – eighth in the latest District 1 3A power rankings – will travel to Villa Joseph Marie for a non-league game on Wednesday for its regular season finale.  “This season went really fast, and I think part of the reason it went fast was because we have such a great group of girls, and we just love working with them every day,” MacPherson said. “It makes it fun to coach them.”

Our defense struggled in the beginning with communicating and slowing the ball. Once the defense regrouped and worked as a unit it was a completely different game.   “In the second half we were winning the draw and working as an entire team.

Central Bucks West 12, Pennsbury 11

Central Bucks West rallied from a five-goal deficit to hand Pennsbury its first loss of the season in a tight National Conference game Monday.
“This win was huge for us,” Central Bucks West coach Rebecca Cartee Haring said.  “To not only come back down 1-6, but just the way the team was able to lean on each other. We knew that this game was going to be a battle, but I didn't anticipate that we would get so far behind early. But when I looked out on the field I realized that the girls were not the least bit fazed by the scoreboard. They just went to work.”  The Bucks rallied to knot the score 7-7 at halftime and then edged the visiting Falcons by one in the second half.  Casey Reichwein (one assist) had three goals in the win while Julia Carey and Tori Albrecht each added a pair of goals as did Maddy McGarry (one assist). Shelby Hahn, Lindsey Horton and Emma Haring (one assist) each had one goal.  “We have players who are able to step up when needed: Casey wins the draws we need, Tori and Julia step up for two goals apiece, Paige (Gilbert) and Emma (Haring) were ground ball machines, Shannen (Roy), Emma (Haring), Maddy (McGarry), Kiersten (Mangin) and Julia (Carey) all caused turnovers,” Cartee Haring said.“This was a solid Pennsbury team, and we had to work for everything we got. And, tomorrow against Abington we face another test. But I know these girls, and they have something special and I am so proud of them.”  

Sarah Walcott and Maggie Golder each had four goals in the loss while Darrien Furiness had two goals and Brooke Weaver netted one.  “It was a tough loss, but we have a lot to learn for the second half of our season,” Pennsbury coach Shannon MacPherson said. “The girls fought the entire game.”  Central Bucks West (5-3, 3-0 SOL) will travel to Abington Tuesday for a non-league battle between the conference leaders.

The Falcons upped their record to a perfect 9-0, and this one was anything but easy.  “New Hope played a really nice game,” coach Shannon McPherson said. “They have some really nice players on their team, and they definitely challenged us in this game, which honestly is something that we needed just to get us ready for the second half of the season.  “We were down by three in the first half and we were also down by three in the second half, so it just shows that the girls dug deep, and they found what they needed to get back up on top.”  The Falcons led 9-7 at halftime and outscored their hosts in the second half.  Maddy Spratt had another big game for the Falcons, scoring six goals and assisting on seven others.

We’re excited for them, we’re celebrating today’s win, but we need to get ourselves ready for the second half of the season because there are a lot of games left.  “They’re such a great group of girls, they’re very coachable. When we tell them to do something, they go out and they fix it. They all work together. We had seven girls scoring. They want to see each other succeed, and they’re so happy and excited for each other, which is a breath of fresh air.”

“It was back and forth the entire game until we scored with three minutes left,” Pennsbury coach Shannon MacPherson said. “They won the draw, took it down in our defensive end of the field.

PENNSBURY 18, UPPER MORELAND 13

The visiting Falcons found themselves on the short end of a 10-8 halftime score but regrouped to outscore the Golden Bears 8-3 in the second half to earn a win in their non-league opener.  It was an impressive comeback for a Falcon squad that graduated 12 seniors – 10 starters – from last year’s squad.  “Being that it was our first game of the season, the first half was when we were getting our kinks out,” coach Shannon McPherson said. “Defensively, in the first half, we weren’t really talking. Our second slide wasn’t there, and we had a couple of turnovers that hurt us.  “In the second half, we talked to the girls, and they just got it together defensively. We were talking, sliding, crashing. We were working well as a unit. Attack was running our plays, and we were taking care of the ball. In the second half, we played as a whole team, and we did everything well as an entire team, including our transitions – in the first half, it was more individualized.” Emelie Curtis led the Falcons with five goals to go along with two assists. Maddy Spratt had a hand in nine goals, scoring four goals and assisting on five others. She also had 10 draw controls, a key to the Falcons’ second-half turnaround.  “That was a huge game changer,” McPherson said. “Brooke Weaver did a nice job of keeping the attack calm and getting them into their plays. She’s one of our captains and is a great leader on the field.  “Emelie Curtis did a nice job with five goals.”  Darrien Furiness added four goals while Lexie Snyder had three goals and an assist. Sarah Walcott and Maggie Golder both had one goal. Golder also had a pair of assists.  According to the Falcons’ coach, it was the defense that kept the Falcons in the game in the second half.  “They were still coming down to goal even in the last couple of minutes, and we were able to hold them,” McPherson said. “Caitlin Doyle did a great job. She’s our voice on defense this year.  “Darrien Furiness is one of our midfielders, and overall, she did a good job of getting back on ‘D’ and talking back there. We have a brand new goalie in cage this year, so defense is really stepping up. They essentially won that second half for us.”  For an inexperienced Falcon squad, it was a good start to the season.  “This is huge for them,” McPherson said. “We’ve kind of been embracing the whole idea – ‘This is your team, this is your season. What you guys want starts today.’ I think they started off on the right foot.  “Even at halftime, we were down, and to come back from an 8-10 halftime score and end up winning 18-13 just shows they’re not going to give up. They’re extremely coachable, they took everything we said at halftime, and they went out 110 percent, did everything we asked and more.”  For the Golden Bears, Emma Meakim led the way with four goals and three assists while Meghan O’Donnell had a hat trick and one assist. Alexis Lamb also had three goals. Moira Olexa contributed one goal and two assists while Cassidy Hirsch had one goal and one assist. Bryanna Gordon added one goal.  “This was a great game by both teams,” the Golden Bears’ coach said. “Both teams played hard and the score went back and forth throughout the game.  “Going into halftime, (we were) leading by two goals. We couldn’t hold onto that lead, but we played hard all the way until the final buzzer. We are starting to come together as a team.”  Hirsch also was credited with six draw controls. O’Donnell and AbbyEllen Wood each had two draw controls. Olexa and Meakim both had one draw control.  “The draws really made the difference as we came up with 12 draws while Pennsbury was able to get 21 draws,” Frantz said.  In goal Sarah Pickard had 15 saves for the Golden Bears.  Pennsbury (1-0) will host Plymouth Whitemarsh Tuesday in a non-league game while Upper Moreland (1-2) will host Pottsgrove in non-league contest Thursday.
