"The team was very excited for their first home game of the season and started off strong," first year head coach Derek Stevens said. "Troy found a will to conquer us by playing aggressively. We matched that intensity the last 8 minutes to outlast a tough Troy team."

Keeper Finn Matthews saved 10 shots in goal for Wellsboro.

In the B game Wellsboro had a 1-0 lead at the half, on an Ella Boyce goal, but the game was called due to severe weather conditions. Zander Rachiele had 2 saves in goal.
