The Indians came close to drilling the equalizer with a little over six minutes left in regulation, but Moon goalkeeper Serayah Leech came up with a big save. The rest of the match featured more near-goals from both squads. “We try and take it one game at a time every week.” “We just try and continue to play how we play and not change anything based on how anybody else does anything,” Longwell said after the win. Then, with about six and a half minutes to go until halftime, Tigers junior midfielder Hailey Longwell found the back of the net. In the first 30-plus minutes of the contest, neither team could capitalize on high-quality shots. That paid off Monday when Moon failed to lose determination despite a strong defensive showing from Peters Township. A large part of this change in mindset can be credited to the patient-but-relentless approach Pfeifer has taken in coaching during this second stint with the program. 2 team in the section - in less than a month certainly helped further instill a sense of swagger in the bunch.

There wasn’t anybody scared tonight.” If you weren’t able to play, we wouldn’t have you on the field. “Last night, we (told them), ‘Just let it go,’” Pfeifer said. And, after Moon’s (7-1-0, 9-1-0) 1-0 win over Peters Township (5-2-2, 7-3-2) on Monday night, it’s safe to say it worked. So, he took a measured approach to inspire confidence in his squad. He recognized that his girls weren’t used to being in first place in their section in WPIAL Class 4A - that they weren’t used to having a target on their backs. Pfeifer, the all-time wins leader in PIAA girls soccer history back in his first season as head coach of the Tigers since winning back-to-back state titles in 2016 and ‘17, knew his group had never been in this position. MOON TOWNSHIP - Bill Pfeifer looked at his Moon Area High School girls soccer team Sunday night at the end of practice and saw fear in his players’ eyes.
