For most of the contest, the Red Raiders were able to cut the field in half, putting the pressure on the Panthers’ defense and limiting Penn Cambria’s breakaway attempts. Bellefonte outshot Penn Cambria 18-5 and also had the advantage in corner opportunities by a 3-0 margin.

“We got to get a lot of girls in tonight. We girls that were able to see the field tonight,” said Bellefonte coach Stacey Miller. “That’s a plus because we only have three JV game scheduled for the entire season. Our goal was to get them some minutes and we were able to that tonight.”

Bellefonte came out swarming to the ball, instantly pushing it down into the Panthers back-line. Less than four minutes in, that pressure breached and impacted the scoreboard, Laila Packer broke loose and blasted an unassisted goal into the back of the net at 36:04.

Less than a minute later, teammate Brooke Whitman found nothing but net as she blasted her shot, putting the Lady Raiders ahead by two goals at the 35:19 mark.

“We always talk about when we go up quickly that’s huge and that helps you and pays off for you later,” said Miller. “I’m proud of them to get those two goals in quickly at the beginning.”

With a two-goal cushion, the Raiders were able to control the momentum, closing the field size and holding the Panthers from getting any kind of drive going in the half.

And things would start the same way in the second.

This time, it was Norah Davis that got her name in the scorebook as she nailed a shot that tickled the twine, making it a three-goal contest. She’d also go on to finish off the scoring as Davis picked up an unassisted goal at 18:57.

From there, it was all the defensive unit, as it held Penn Cambria in check and secured the 4-0 win. The victory propelled the Red Raiders to a 3-0 record, which it’ll look to add onto as it travels to Bedford Thursday, with that game set for 5 p.m.
