FIELD HOCKEY: Palmyra handles Hershey, moves to 4-0

PALMYRA>> Hershey scored with two minutes to go Monday in a hyped early-season field hockey showdown against a division foe. The resulting cheer from the Trojans' bench sounded as if they had just claimed a title.

But their celebration would not last 22 game seconds. For Palmyra senior Kylie Gallagher was going to finish what she'd started.

Gallagher scored the first and third Cougar goals of a 3-1 home win over Hershey, carrying Palmyra to 4-0 on the season. Defender Katelyn Mark netted the team's middle score, an effort set up by senior Jess Dembrowski after a penalty corner at under 18 minutes to go. The Cougars then held their comfortable lead until Hershey's Taylor Massage struck at 2:06 remaining with help from Katie McCartney.
