LEWISTOWN – Picking up the very special “W”.

Monday the Mifflin County field hockey team welcomed in their cross mountain rivals State College for a prime time matchup at Kish Bank Field at Donald Chapman Stadium.

Mifflin County drew first blood on a goal from Addie Fultz she would have a trio of goals on the night in the teams 3-0 shutout win over the Little Lions. It was a game where the Huskies capitalized off their corner shots and State College could not.

Fultz finished the night with a hat trick.

Mifflin County was strong in the passing game and crossovers. Jayda Kanagy and Alleigh Caruso both had strong showings which ultimately led to Huskies scoring goals.

“We played our game today and this is the way that I knew that we could play all season and we just needed to capitalize,” said Mifflin County Head Coach Brittany Wilcox. “And today really showcased how talented our team really is.Despite our record we’re hoping for two more wins this week and another win next week. So we’re going to finish this season off strong and see what we can do.”

The talent was on display in a all around team effort from Mifflin County and it started with the three goals produced by Fultz and the strong defense up and down the roster for Mifflin County. It would be a dominant win over their cross mountain rivals.

”We brought the intensity and the energy,” said Addie Fultz. “The girls put it out there and gave it their all and keeping that up will hopefully lead us to more victories.”

State College was limited in the loss as they were forced to defend most of the game. The Little Lions did get production from Sadie Kocher as she generated much of the Lions offense that they displayed.

“I think that the details I thought like the basics of field hockey, going to the ball on corners, it’s really simple you just stop it and get a shot off you know,” said State College Head Coach Sharon Herlocher. “We did not execute on our corners tonight. They had strong hard tackles and we let that get to us. We need to just go back to basics and pass to each other. We dribbled a lot like we played so well the other night and we passed the ball tonight we were dribbling.”

Mifflin County would get the win off three goals from Fultz. She would be the highlight of the game for Mifflin County as she provided the hot stick for the win over State College.
