Bethlehem Catholic’s field hockey team has been on a surge as of late, but can the Golden Hawks keep the momentum going into this week?

The Hawks were riding a four-game win streak into this week and pushed their record to 5-3 overall to have them ranked second in the District 11 Class A rankings.

Wins over Notre Dame, East Stroudsburg North, Pleasant Valley and Pocono Mountain West evaporated a 1-3 start, which saw them lose three straight to the likes of Easton, Liberty and Emmaus.

With the team rolling at the moment, head coach Luke Wilde hopes they can continue to string wins together.

“The year has been going pretty well so far,” Wilde said. “We had a tough three game stretch with Easton, Liberty and Emmaus. We took Liberty to OT, but lost 1-0. The team realized that they have the ability to play with a top team like Liberty and gained a lot of confidence after that game.”

Becahi will have more games this week against their EPC counterparts from the north with Stroudsburg, Pocono Mountain East and East Stroudsburg South on the schedule.

This week’s slate will much more difficult, as PME is undefeated at 7-0-1 and Stroudsburg is 5-3.

“The key for us right now is to finish on offense,” said Wilde. “Even though we won each of our games last week, our offense sputtered a little at the end of the week. We had chances, but couldn’t put them in the cage. However, Jaleesa Lanier has been incredible for us, scoring nine goals for us last week and assisted on several others.”

Liberty (5-2) started off with five straight wins, but dropped their last two affairs with a 1-0 loss to Easton and a 3-2 setback to PME.

The ‘Canes get back into league play this week with Freedom, Parkland, Nazareth and Whitehall on the docket.

Tuesday’s affair with the Trojans (6-0-1) will be the showcase game of the week for Liberty.

Freedom (3-5) hasn’t been able to gain any momentum this year, as they lost their last two contest to Parkland and Northampton by an 18-1 total.

The Pates face a brutal week ahead on the schedule with Liberty, Easton and Emmaus. The only reprieve the Pates will get is a contest at home against Pocono Mountain West Saturday.
