Swineford joins exclusive club as Selinsgrove field hockey rolls in first round of state playoffs

By: Selinsgrove Athletics | PIAA District IV | November 6, 2019

ALMEDIA - Emily Swineford scored 1:15 into the second half to become the fourth Selinsgrove player to amass 200 points in her career and the Seals defense stifflied the defending state Class 2A champion - Donegal - 7-1 at Central Columbia.

Selinsgrove allowed just one shot on goal in the first half as it built a 2-0 lead on unassisted goals by Jessica Alba and Maddie Bucher.

Swineford's goal made it 3-0 and she joins Keli Smith, Morgan Fleetwood and Alicia Mayer as Selinsgrove players that have scored 200 points on that list. 

Donegal scored to cut the lead to 3-1, before the Seals scored four goals in the final 17:48 to put the game away. 

Liv Reichley scored off an assist from Maddie Bucher to get it starter. Anna Gephart then assisted on back-to-back goals - one by Alba and the other by Maddie Bucher. Greta Widmaier capped the Seals scoring.

Selinsgrove (17-3) will carry an eight-game win streak into Saturday's quarterfinal matchup against District 3 third-place Twin Valley (17-8). That game will be at noon at Milton Hershey High School.
