Cherry Hill was hoping that Friday 13th might bring some bad luck to the Chief's, but there wasn't much in the way of luck to it. Cherry Hill played a good game but Cherokee played a better one. Cherokee were having a good strong season and today was no exception. The Lady Chiefs won this game by a score of 2-1.
 The teams battled evenly until with less than six minutes left in the half, East got caught deep and the ball ping-ponged around the box. Magen Curran finally got a good cross to Becki Salamon who drove the ball home behind Emily Brenner. The Lady Cougars were visibly disappointed and slowed a bit. Cherokee took advantage and scored again two minutes and thirty-four seconds later as Kelli Langran got a good shot off that Emily Brennan stopped. But Emily couldn't control the rebound and Melissa Apostolidis put it away.
Cherry Hill looked stronger in the second half and at 33:16 in the second half, Dana DiBruno finally got East on the board with a strong shot against Cherokee's Christi Schillig to make it 2-1. That would be the end of the scoring in this game, but don't let that fool you. It was a very good
Cherokee improved to 8-2-1 on the season while Cherry Hill East falls to five hundred at 3-3-2. East hasn't seemed to be able to put it together this season. Amanda Kravitz looked tentative coming back from a broken nose and Nicole Thurston appeared to get hurt while simply running. East needs these girls to play strong. Mary Daly looks stronger every game and Lauren Houck played a strong game in the middle. Dana DiBruno who scored East's only goal has three on the season (out of a total of ten for East) and she is only a freshman. Maybe their luck is improving.
