For the first 30 minutes of play last Wednesday afternoon, the Palmerton field hockey team had no problem turning away the constant pressure Catasauqua was applying.

Before intermission, the Roughies ripped off six shots on goal, but Blue Bombers' sophomore keeper Addison Lesher managed to hold them scoreless.

In the second half however, the Roughies' Quinn Bachman took things into her own hands, providing her team with enough offense to pull out a 2-0 victory over the Bombers.

It was just 1:50 into the second half when Hannah Edwards sent a perfect pass across the front of the Bombers' cage. Bachman was at the right place at the right time, got enough stick on the ball and deflected it past Lesher to the back right of the cage.

Nearly six minutes later, Bachman was at it once again. She broke free on the run, put several Bombers' defenders behind her and gave the Roughies an insurance goal.
