The Tyrone/Bellwood-Antis co-op soccer team scored a huge victory for the program Monday, winning against big-timer Hollidaysburg 5-4 at the Golden Tiger Stadium.
Marissa Panasiti tallied four goals in the first half, giving the Lady Eagles a 4-1 lead going into halftime.
That is ten goals on the season so far for Panasiti through four games.
“My team got a lot of motivation after my first goal and we kept a fast pace which led to three more,” said Panasiti, who was sidelined her junior season with a knee injury. “As an entire team we dealt with their talents and speed quite well. It was a huge, unexpected win.”
The Lady Tigers made a comeback though, tying the game up with twenty minutes left in the second half. However, just six seconds later, Riley D’Angelo put a shot just over the keeper’s outstretched arms giving the Lady Eagles the lead that they would not relinquish.
This win was a keeper for the girls, defeating a powerhouse soccer school like Hollidaysburg.
The boys’ soccer team also had a game last night, losing 1-0 in overtime to Huntingdon.
The game was hard-fought for both sides with Tyrone showing a great deal of teamwork.
Although a loss was recorded for the boys, it was a personal win for the team.
The boys are now 2-1.
