Mustangs freeze Huskies, 2-0

LEWISTOWN — Mifflin County’s girls soccer team (2-4) clashed with (1-3) West Perry (1-3) at Donald M. Chapman Stadium on Monday and the Mustangs were victorious, 2-0.

Mifflin County hoped to extend their winning streak to two games. It was a battle between the defenses early but the game would turn into the Mustangs’ favor as the first score of the game came from Alyssa Morett as she would find the back of the net to give West Perry an early 1-0 advantage.

Mifflin County had good passing from Madison Peachy but the Huskies were unable to turn that production into points. Liberty Cook also limited possible damage on a nice defensive effort, earning quality saves despite the team’s loss.

Huskies coach Barrett Knepp said, “We just have to keep working on our offense. We’ve been struggling to find goals most of the season so far and that’s a tough way to play. You have to play really stout defensively and go for a goal or two. We need to find ways to be more consistent putting balls in the back of the net.”

Mifflin County was held in check as the Huskies were only able to get six shots on goal; they were held to just three in the first half.

West Perry would speed things up, they would be all Mustangs in the second half as they kept the ball on Mifflin County’s side the majority of the half. Kendyl Chubb would have the team’s second goal as she would be assisted by Maggie Morrison.

West Perry had good shots on goal all night to keep MIfflin County much on the defensive end of things. The Mustangs also got production from DeeAnna Chubb as well. Both sisters played a good game for West Perry. The Mustangs would get past the Huskies in a shutout.

Mifflin County will travel to Waynesboro on Wednesday hoping to get back into the win column.
