We've had trouble creating chances," Meyers said of his Pen Argyl team.The Bombers' Weiss said he was satisfied with the play of his defense."Julia Paulinho has really stepped it up for us the last couple of games. She's only been with us for about six games now," said Weiss.Jenna Creed and Strauch are the two Palmerton captains."These two girls are the core of the entire team," said Weiss. "They are leaders on the field. Both girls have great vision on the field and know how to direct the rest of the girls on the field. Jenna and Sabreena are really intelligent girls."After winning just two games last season, the Bombers now stand at 5-11 with two games left.Pen Argyl's goalkeeper Marissa Aranda was a bright spot for the Green Knights.
