Andie Graney, Doris Muncan, and Haley Gschrey combined for four goals in Freedom’s 4-1 soccer victory over Bethlehem Catholic last Tuesday at Freedom.

“I was super pumped this game because it’s my senior night and I came out pretty aggressive,” Graney said. “The goalie was going to grab it and I kind of ran through the ball and got a left foot.”

Muncan added another goal to make the score 2-0 by halftime, but the Patriots knew they would need to do more.

“We were just a little bit too on the edge,” said Patriot defender Julia Ackerman. “You can never let your guard down. You have to keep going because you know they will never stop.”

Soon after the start of the second half, Bisko got by Freedom’s defense to score for the Hawks.

“I think, on turf, everyone’s a bit better. It’s easier to connect passes, and she’s very quick,” Ackerman said. “We would always double team her no matter what, whether she had the ball or not.”

Gschrey and Muncan added a goal apiece later in the game to assure a victory.

In anticipation of the Freedom versus Liberty rivalry game, the Patriots were looking forward to a second victory over the Hurricanes.

“We definitely have to make sure we’re winning 50/50 balls and be very aggressive,” said Graney.

Earlier in the season, Freedom won 3-2.

“The minute they get the ball, they are so quick in transition. They get it. They send it. We have to be able to back up and know when they’re going to send it,” Ackerman said.
