On an unusual note, Palmyra did not commit a single penalty, with Riverside giving away 106 yards on mistakes. But the dominating play of the Rams, combined with 4 interceptions, just overwhelmed the Panthers for a 42-7 victory.

Kravitz Gets Four As East Beats West

Friday, October 1, 1999

By Forrest Robleto
SJSports Staff Writer

Marissa Kravitz put in three unanswered goals in the first 12 minutes of the game and Cherry Hill East never looked back. Jen Padlo, the rock of the Cougars defense, was outstanding. Padlo's defense allowed only one shot on goal in the first half and she got a foot on that one just too late. A poor offense can make a defense look good, but today a great defense made a good offense look bad. Coach Murray's Lions played reasonably well and keeper Amanda Lomberg had only one very soft goal.

Cherokee Ties Cherry Hill East in Defensive Struggle

Wednesday, September 29, 1999

By Forrest Robleto
SJSports Staff Writer

It was a hard fought game between two teams that are not used to losing. The 5-1 Cherokee girls were anxious to stop the 3-0 Cougars of Cherry Hill East. The first five minutes were all Cherry Hill as Cherokee's keeper Christie Schillig was tested early and often. This was not a game without offense. Cherry Hill outshot Cherokee 6-4 in the first half. Both teams had to fight their way out of the box over and over. The offenses simply ran into very capable defenses.
