LEWISTOWN — The Mifflin County field hockey team fell to Selinsgrove, 2-0, in a non-conference matchup at Marcal Paper Field Thursday night.
The Seals drew first blood, scoring on a held whistle open shot in front of the cage. Mifflin County held the Seals until a scrum in front of the goal led to a delayed goal call despite the ball never reaching the back of the cage. The Huskies overcame the physical play and turned up the pressure in the fourth, but were unable to score.
Huskies senior goalkeeper Mya Felmlee had five saves. Sisters Jayda and Jemma Kanagy each had a shot on goal. The Seals received a green and a yellow card, with the Huskies receiving just the green card.
In the JV game, freshman Clara Eckley scored the game-tying goal late in the fourth quarter, earning a 1-1 draw.
