Vikings breeze by Falcons

If Monday afternoon is any indication, Perkiomen Valley’s future is plenty bright.

In the midst of what head coach Erik Enters had deemed a ‘ rebuild’ season, the Vikings — using a lineup pepperedwith underclassmen— breezed past Pottsgrove, 7-0 at Perkiomen Valley High School.

“We had a lot of our younger players get some quality varsity time,” said Enters. “They look good. You see them moving the ball out, getting corner penetration. I’m really happy with the way they played.”

The win improves the Vikings to 4-4 overall while they remain at 2-3 in Pioneer Athletic Conference play. The result drops Pottsgrove to 1-3 overall in the PAC (1-2 in PAC play).

The seven-goal showing proved to be a bright spot for Enters and the Vikings, having lost twice so far this season 1-0.

“After last week’s frustrating games, we needed to put our feelings aside and focus on (Monday’s) game,” said senior Alyssa Dunne.

Dunne finished with PV’s opening goal just over five minutes in, flicking it just past the outstretched Pottsgrove goalie off a feed from Gabrielle Muschert.
