Logan scored her second goal to make it 3-0 with 17:31 remaining then assisted Poirier on her second goal to push the score to 4-0 Lady Hornets with 8:53 left in the first.

After halftime and leading 4-0, sophomore Dahlia Hosey scored with 37:46 on the clock to make it 5-0 and Logan topped off the hat trick with 32:54 remaining. North Penn-Mansfield's Elizabeth Vogel scored with Megan Derstine assisting with 20:32 to make the score 6-1 before Smith scored off a Poirier assist for the Lady Hornets' seventh and final goal.

Wellsboro took 21 shots on the night and had 10 corner kicks while North Penn-Mansfield took 6 shots on goal and had 5 corners. Junior Kailee Clymer made 5 saves in goal and North Penn-Mansfield's Alaina McKee made 16 saves.

"What a way to finish the season. I'm proud of the girls," said head coach TJ Freeman. "We had a lot of injuries and a lot of things that held us back this season. The pressure was off tonight, they had fun, and it was just a great game."

The win improves the Lady Hornets' record to 6-11-1 (6-7-1) to end the season.
