Bethlehem Catholic forward Summer Hill did something she’s always wanted to do in the Golden Hawks’ 2-0 win over Liberty last Friday at Becahi.

“I try to get a shot off right away, go straight to the goal, and score right off,” said the sophomore forward.

On the first possession of the match, Hill took off down the left side, shot, and scored within the first 39 seconds.

“It felt really nice because I’ve tried to do it right off, and it’s never worked, but this time, it finally did,” Hill said. “I just try to get a big touch and speed, and use skill to cut around them if I need to.”

That goal got things rolling offensively for Becahi, and even though the Hurricanes held the Hawks to that one score in the first half, it didn’t stop them from trying.

“Their goalie (Sophia Albino), I give her a lot of credit. She saves a lot of my shots,” said Becahi senior midfielder Teighan Boyle, who took three shots on goal in the first half.

Natalya Teran took a shot for the Hurricanes that almost tied the match right before halftime.

“They put pressure on themselves to be the best, always, so I think they were frustrated with themselves, and our job as coaches is to keep them positive,” said Liberty head coach Andrew Uhler. “In the first match we played against them, frankly, I thought we were the better side, but they were able to put in that goal. A direct style isn’t our favorite thing. We like to get the ball wide, and so that probably played into Beca’s favor here today.”

The first match was also on the minds of the Hawks.

“We knew we needed to get more goals,” Boyle said. “Especially at our field, it’s always a chippy game, so whoever has the most effort is gonna win the game on this field. They challenged us in the midfield, and they’re a physical team.”

One more goal for the Hawks came in the 78th minute from Boyle off a corner.

“We got balls in the wide areas, we got balls across, our defensive shape is perfect,” said Becahi head coach Brad Kratzer. “The trust is a lot better, the communication is a lot better. It’s all leading to better results. We’re starting to turn around the one-and-two-goal losses into one-and-two-goal wins.”
