"They did a good job interrupting our offense inside the box tonight but we were able to find the net the first half," head coach Derek Stevens said. "Our defense did a great job limiting Towanda's possession on our defensive end, which allowed us to hold the possession offensively for a large amount of time."

Wellsboro out shot Towanda 16-3. Maddon Mascho and Benjamin Jackson (2) combined for 3 saves in goal.

Towanda won the B game 1-0.

Wellsboro (6-1) hosts Athens Saturday afternoon.
