Field Hockey
West Chester 8, New Haven 0 >> Jasmine Miller and Valerie van Kuijck each scored two goals, and goalkeeper Megan Gula (Avon Grove) registered her second straight shutout as the Golden Rams downed New Haven, 8-0, on Sunday.
Second-ranked West Chester (4-0) dominated 10th-ranked New Haven (0-3) all afternoon, outshooting the Chargers by a 50-5 margin – mainly on the strength of a 23-2 advantage in penalty corners. Van Kuijck finished the day with five points in the win. Paige Wolfe (Downingtown East) posted a goal and two assists to support offensive onslaught as well. Wolfe played a role in three of the team’s first four markers in the game. Miller’s two tallies, coupled with van Kuijck’s pair of goals, leaves the tandem tied for the team lead in that category.
