Becahi girls go 2-1 in games

Bethlehem Catholic's girls soccer team posted two shut-outs last week before falling to Freedom on Friday.

The Hawks defeated Dieruff, 6-0, and Allen, 4-0.

In the game against Allen, center mid, Nicole Lacherza, scored Beca's first goal.

"Dana [Neupauer] shot from the corner, it hit off the goal post, and I rebounded it back in," Lacherza said.

Neupauer herself had two goals, one in each half, and forward, Colleen O'Reilly scored the fourth and final goal for the Hawks.

"I was just shocked it went in. It kind of hit off the one girl from Allen. I shot it to the right corner of the goal," said O'Reilly.

The Hawks had recently made some changes, concentrating more on offense than defense.

"We're working on possessions, and on the in-pass, throwing to each other's feet more," O'Reilly said.

Becahi was hoping their victories over Dieruff and Allen would carry over to their match against Freedom, but the Patriots prevailed, 3-0.

Lacherza said, "They have good skill players, and they're quick, but we're just as fast as them."

Erica Barrett scored twice for the Patriots, and Carlie Markle also scored. Freedom had 28 shots on goal, and Bethlehem Catholic had nine.
