LEWISTOWN — Jess Bickhart had a pair of solo goals in the second half, but she was playing catchup with Altoona’s Cassie Kyle, who had a hat trick in the opening half.

That resulted in a 3-2 victory over Mifflin County for the Mountain Lions in a nonleague girls soccer game Saturday.

The good news for the Huskies is that Allyssa Schnell stood tall in the net despite the goals, stopping 22 of 25 shots she faced.

The JV game ended in a 1-1 tie with Gabi Clark scoring for the Huskies.

Mifflin County hosts Palmyra on Tuesday.

This upcoming week will truly test our ability and mental toughness, and show the weaknesses we must improve upon.”
