LEWISTOWN – It was a dark and stormy afternoon.

Despite the fact that Mother Nature ended the Upper Dauphin Versus Mifflin County Girls soccer game Saturday afternoon, the Lady Huskies had a whole days work as they dominated Upper Dauphin 4-0 in a weather-shortened contest.

Mifflin County dominated the Trojans’ end.

In just a little more than one half of play, the Lady Huskies pounded out

26 shots on goal.

Defensively, Mifflin County got strong efforts by its defensive backline as Olivia Cook, Katelyn Knable, Kaitlyn Bickhart and Kristen Milliron.

They kept the Trojans from getting any kind of good looks at the goal or forcing goalie Bailey McNitt from having to be tested.

As the starting whistle blew to start the contest, Mifflin County drove deep down into the Upper Dauphin back-third, the “Black and White” were relentless, pounding at the goal Area time-after-time.

Aubrey Strohecker was very active and she got the Lady Huskies on the board booming a blast at 37:04, making it 1-0.

After a brief visit into the Mifflin County end, the Lady Trojans watched as their field possession was taken away by a vey fast Mifflin County squad.

At 17:54, Strohecker struck again as she plastered a shot to the side of the goal as she was coming across the middle, upping it to a 2-0 contest.
