Girls Soccer: Durfee stands tall as Haverford stuns No. 1 OJR in PKs

South Coventry Twp. >> The record books will show that Owen J. Roberts’ girls soccer team allowed just two goals all season. Thursday night, after 110 minutes of soccer, the Wildcats kept that record intact.

It was another OJR shutout, their 19th. It was also their last this year. That has a great deal to do with Alison Durfee, Haverford’s senior goalkeeper.

Durfee stopped 13 shots before coming up with two saves in a shootout to knock off Owen J. Roberts, 0-0 (3-0 in PKs) in the second round of the District 1 Class 4A playoffs.

“It’s a cruel game,” Wildcats coach Joe Margusity said. “How else can you describe it? We didn’t allow a shot on goal all game … but our season is over.”

Indeed, Owen J. Roberts (19-1-1) dominated for much of the night, but it will be the No. 17 seed Haverford Fords (12-7-1) moving on to face Souderton in the district quarterfinals on Saturday.

The Wildcats pressured Durfee early and often, forcing her to make a pair of diving saves early in the first half and testing her with 14 corner kicks.
