The Northeastern School District was busy this week hiring coaches.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Jon Scepanski, 26, would take over the Bobcats’ football program.

On Thursday, the district also announced that the school will have a new boys’ soccer coach and a new field hockey coach.

Both new coaches are familiar names to York-Adams League sports fans.

Bryan Stephens, the Northeastern athletic director, will take over the boys’ soccer program. He had that same job from 2001 until 2006, when he became the school’s AD.

Dave Marsh, who previously enjoyed success as the head coach of the Central York field hockey and softball programs, will now assume the reins of the Northeastern field hockey team.

Northeastern struggled in both boys’ soccer and field hockey this past fall. The boys’ soccer team finished 2-10-0 in York-Adams Division II, while the field hockey team was 1-12-1 in Division I.

The Northeastern boys’ soccer team enjoyed great success during Stephens’ previous tenure, winning or sharing division titles in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2005. That included a York-Adams League Tournament title in 2002. Since Stephens left, the Bobcats haven’t won a division title and own just one winning league season during that span.

“I never wanted to get out of coaching but it was in the best interest for me professionally and (for) my family to concentrate on (being AD),” Stephens said. “With no prior experience as an AD, the district and myself felt it would be beneficial to focus solely on my job.”

After seven years as AD, Stephens believes he can better handle both roles now, especially with the support of his family and the Northeastern administration. The school was also struggling to find applicants for the boys’ soccer coaching position after Bryan Hays resigned.

“I felt this was a good time to get back into it,” Stephens said.

Marsh, meanwhile, will take over a field hockey program that hasn’t won a division title since 1984. The Bobcats have just two winning league seasons during that period.

“We are excited to bring Coach Marsh’s experience, knowledge and enthusiasm to Northeastern field hockey,” Stephens said. “At this point, we are a struggling program working hard to compete in Division I of the (York-Adams League) and we feel Coach Marsh is the person to turn things around and make us a reputable program within the (York-Adams League).”

Marsh is the owner of M2sports, a non-profit company that works with young athletes. He replaces Lauren Ramspacher as Northeastern’s head coach.

Central York High School senior Lauren Moyer, 17, has been selected to the USA Women’s Junior National Indoor Field Hockey Travel Team that will complete a tour of Germany in January.

Team USA is comprised of 12 athletes who will compete in Bremen and Hamburg from Jan. 9-14, 2013.

This is the latest accomplishment for the Central standout, who will join the North Carolina field hockey team in the fall of 2013. Earlier this month she received selection to the 2012 Harrow Sports/National Field Hockey Coaches Association High School All-Region Team, which named 31 athletes from Pennsylvania, eight of which were from the Harrisburg/Lancaster/York area.

Moyer was also named to the 2012 Pennsylvania High School Field Hockey Coaches Association All-State First Team.

Moyer recently returned from winning a medal at the USA Field Hockey National Festival in Wellington, Fla., with the Nook Hockey Elite club team from Lancaster. She is also a two-year selection to USA Field Hockey’s Futures Elite and was named to the 2012 Futures Elite Championship. The championship took place over 10 days at the U.S. National Training Center in Virginia Beach last summer and was comprised of the nation’s top 96 players chosen from the 5,100 athletes that participate in the Futures program.

In 2011, she was selected to the 2011 Junior Olympics in New Orleans (winning bronze) and has traveled nationwide competing with her club teams, including a trip to Barbados, where she played against other national teams.

Central York High School field hockey standout Lauren Moyer collected some more accolades recently.

Moyer was recently named to the 2012 Harrow Sports/National Field Hockey Coaches Association High School All-Region Pennsylvania Second Team.

This prestigious list selects the top 160 high school field hockey athletes nationwide, divided into 10 regions. A total of 31 players from Pennsylvania were selected to two teams.

In addition, Moyer was a member of the Nook Hockey Red team that took first place at the USA Field Hockey National Hockey Festival recently in West Palm Beach, Fla. The tournament is an annual event held by USA Field Hockey. It holds the title as the largest event of its kind in the world, attracting more than 200 teams in under-16 and under-19 divisions and more than 3,500 athletes.

The under-19 division was comprised of 126 teams divided into 18 pools. Nook Hockey went undefeated (6-0) and finished No. 1 in the statistical rankings in the under-19 division with 39 goals scored and only one goal allowed.

Nook Hockey (formerly PennLanco) is based in Lancaster County.

Moyer plans to play field hockey at North Carolina University. The Tar Heels lost in the NCAA Division I title match to Princeton recently, 3-2.

Not even the near-freezing temperatures could put a damper on Wednesday’s York-Adams League Field Hockey Senior All-Star Games.

Despite playing on one of the coldest nights of the year so far, the collection of girls from the various area schools played a pair of entertaining matches that marked the end of their high school careers.

The showcase also provided Central York standout Lauren Moyer with one more opportunity to put her many talents on display.

Moyer scored two goals for her Grey team, including the game-winner with just more than three minutes left, to send her team to a 3-2 victory in the Division I contest at York Suburban High School.

“It was a fun game,” said Moyer, who will attend the University of North Carolina on a field hockey scholarship next year. “My fingers are numb, my toes are numb, but I’m glad I had the honor of playing in this game.”

The cold weather, and a Division II/III clash that preceded the Division I contest, stunted the normal warm-up routines that most players employ during the regular season.

“We didn’t really start warming up until about half-an-hour before the game,” Moyer said. “So it was really laid back.”

The contest was originally scheduled to be played at Spring Grove, but the football team’s preparations for this Friday’s District 3-AAA game against West York forced a change of venue. The coaches that planned the event then had to seek out an athletic trainer for the contest, but fortunately Spring Grove athletic trainer Matt Staub made his services available to the girls.

Moyer, for one, was truly grateful that the event went on as planned without a hitch.

“It was good to give the seniors a final game of the their high school careers,” she said.

The Panther standout enjoyed playing on the same side with some of her regular-season rivals during the 80-minute exhibition. The Grey team was made up of Division I squads Central York, Northeastern, Red Lion and Spring Grove, while the Dark team included players from Dallastown, Dover, New Oxford and South Western.

“I knew a few of the Spring Grove girls and I didn’t really know any of the Red Lion girls, but they were all a great bunch of girls and I had a really good time playing with them,” Moyer said. “And we got to play against Dallastown. There’s a little rivalry between Central and Dallastown, but it’s all in good fun.”

Now Moyer will begin preparing for the next part of her athletic career. She will play indoors over the winter in a 5-on-5 variation of the sport before she begins practicing with the Tar Heels over the summer.

“I’m excited to move on to college,” she said. “This was a nice way to end my high school career against some of the best players around the county. It was a sweet note to end on.”

The Dallastown duo of Paige Barefoot and Julia Snyder scored for the Dark team, while Northeastern’s Sami Gordineer added the other tally for the Grey squad.

In the Division II/III contest, the Dark team shut out the White team, 3-0. Littlestown’s Kelsey Harteis scored a pair of goals, while Delone’s Becky Henn added the other.

Tuesday didn’t go so well for the four York-Adams League field hockey teams competing in the first round of the District 3 playoffs.

Both Red Lion and Delone Catholic went down in 3-0 defeats. The No. 5 seed Lions lost to No. 12 seed Wilson in Class AAA while the No. 11 seed Squirettes fell to No. 6 seed Hamburg in Class AA.

Meanwhile, Bermudian Springs and Dallastown each lost by 1-0 scores. The No. 5 seed Eagles were upset by No. 12 seed Milton Hershey in Class AA.

Among all the defeats, however, Dallastown’s upset loss to No. 15 seed Hershey in Class AAA was perhaps the most surprising. To cap it off, the No. 2 seed Wildcats lost on what turned out to be a controversial second-half goal.

Dallastown: With just more than 16 minutes to play, Dallastown goalkeeper Niki Bream found herself in a scrum in front of the goal cage on her hands and knees at the Central York High School field. The junior goalie wanted to scoop the ball up, but she only managed to use her stick to whack the ball out from the scrum with the hope her teammates could get it clear of the net.Unfortunately for Bream, the ball rolled out to the stick of Hershey forward Emily Bruggemeier, who sent a shot to the back of the cage. However, a pair of Hershey players appeared to be on their knees in the scrum with Bream, something Bream and Dallastown coach Jeri Myers said should have stopped play.

“I was on the ground and there were more girls on the ground with me, which is not legal,” Bream said. “And I hit it out and then the girl hit it in.”

Officials first signaled a goal before meeting for a few minutes in the center of the field to discuss the call before finally upholding the Hershey score. Myers continued to argue the call to no avail, even meeting with officials for about five minutes after the game ended.

“The official ruling is you may not play the ball on the ground. It’s dangerous because my kids can swing and hit someone in the face,” Myers said. “The goalie is allowed to be on the ground. Their players may not be on the ground.”

Nevertheless, Hershey (12-7-1) controlled the field of play most of the night over a Dallastown team that struggled passing and finding open shots. The Trojans had seven shots on goal to Dallastown’s three and held an 8-5 advantage in corners. The Wildcats (19-1-1) had a chance to tie it when they put shots on goal off a pair of corners in the final two minutes, but Hershey keeper Jen Rizzo stopped both attempts to hand Dallastown its first loss of the year.

The first-round defeat brought a quick end to the season for a Dallastown team led by 10 seniors. The Wildcats won the York-Adams League Division I title and went on to capture the program’s first league tournament championship in a shootout over Red Lion last Thursday.

“We had an excellent season,” Myers said. “The icing was definitely last Thursday when we won the league (championship).”

OTHER FIELD HOCKEY

WILSON 3, RED LION 0: At Northeastern, Red Lion’s season ended with a first-round District 3-AAA loss to 12th-seeded Wilson. The fifth-seeded Lions finished up at 16-4. Wilson improved to 14-7.

HAMBURG 3, DELONE CATHOLIC 0: At Exeter, the 11TH-seeded Squirettes trailed 2-0 at the end of the first half and dropped the District 3-AA first-round game to No. 6 seed Hamburg. The Berks County team held the Squirettes to zero shots on goal for the game. Squirettes goalie Holly Little made eight saves. Delone finished 13-5-0, while Hamburg improved to 17-4-0.

SPRING GROVE — They had only gone to two overtimes the entire season.

Both came in the first two games of the year.

And neither went to a shootout.

Still, the Dallastown field hockey team made sure to stay prepared for just such a scenario.

The Wildcats have been practicing shootout strokes before every game this season. Finally, the work paid off Thursday night at Spring Grove.

Squaring off in the York-Adams League Tournament championship game, Dallastown and Red Lion went to a best-of-five shootout after the teams were tied at 2-2 following a pair of 15-minute overtime periods.

“We do strokes before every game and I always ask the team ‘Who’s our best stroker for the game?” Dallastown head coach Jeri Myers said. “It’s usually Hope (Kohlbus), but the players said Hailee (Anders). I let the team decide.”

Anders proved to have the hot hand for the Wildcats. The sophomore scored the game-tying goal with 1:19 left in regulation on a penalty stroke.

She wound up scoring Dallastown’s first shootout stroke before teammate Bryna Cook got one in the cage on the Wildcats’ third shootout stroke. Dallastown goalie Niki Bream, meanwhile, stopped all of Red Lion’s shootout strokes to seal the win and the first league tournament title for the Wildcats.

“It feels good,” Anders said afterwards. “We played really good as a team and we worked together really well. I think that’s what really helped us.”

Physical: The shootout capped off a physical game between the rival teams. The Division I champion Wildcats defeated Red Lion in two regular-season match-ups. But the Lions entered having won the previous two league tournament titles — they won the first over Dallastown two years ago.

Red Lion took its first lead of the game when Ali Posey scored at the 9:25 mark in the first half. Dallastown tied it when Taylor Kline put one in the cage on an assist from Cook with 4:15 to play before intermission. Hailey Orwig gave the Lions the lead again on a goal with 20:04 left in the second half. This all came against a Dallastown defense that had only allowed three goals all year coming into the game.

Penalty stroke: On a corner with under 90 seconds left in the second half, Dallastown centered a pass in front of the net, where the officials whistled Red Lion keeper Gabriella Uberti for pushing Wildcats’ forward Molly Childress. The officials issued a yellow card to Uberti and awarded a penalty stroke to Dallastown. It marked one of four yellow cards issued to Red Lion.

As a result, Uberti had to leave the game for the next five minutes of play. She was replaced by junior Jessica Everett, who allowed the game-tying score to Anders on the penalty stroke.

“You tell your team to go to the ball and play the ball. That’s all we did. There was no foul,” Red Lion coach Carol Gillmen said of the yellow card. “Obviously the officials had a hand in the outcome of this game.”

Myers saw it differently.

“The goalie shoved my player out of the way,” Myers said. “That’s illegal.”

Bream: Although she allowed two goals in regulation, Dallastown goalie Niki Bream made a total of 15 saves, including the five stops in the shootout. The senior keeper avenged her performance from two years ago in the league title game against Red Lion.

“She’s been our starting goalie since her freshman year. And two years ago she left the goal go in that we lost the county championship,” Myers said. “In the two years since she has become really good.”

SPRING GROVE — Dallastown field hockey coach Jeri Myers implored her forward, Julia Snyder, to get her shots closer to the cage in Wednesday night’s York-Adams League semifinal clash with Division II champion West York.

When Snyder finally took her coach’s advice, it paid off.

Snyder got a quick crack inside the circle early in the second half and, instead of shooting wide, put one right on the mark. The ball skipped past Bulldog goalie Cassidy McCauley’s legs and into the net, breaking a scoreless tie.

Paige Barefoot, who was playing her first game after a nasty finger injury a couple weeks ago, added an insurance marker later in the half, helping the Wildcats earn a 2-0 victory at Spring Grove High School.

The Division I champions (18-0-1) will get a third showdown with rival Red Lion (a 4-2 winner over Bermudian Springs in the other semifinal) at 5 p.m. Thursday back at Spring Grove. Dallastown, which won both of the regular season-match-ups with the Lions, will attempt to stop Red Lion’s two-year reign as league champion.

“She was aiming between the 12-foot line,” Myers said while Snyder fielded questions about her goal.

The goal fended off some mounting frustration for the Wildcats, who dominated play, including a 15-4 edge in penalty corners.

“Usually when we score, that’s like our fire,” Snyder said. “We just had to break through.”

Breaking through was a problem for Myers’ squad. They had numerous chances to cash in over the entire first half. There were at least a handful of scoring opportunities that ended with shots sailing just wide of the cage, which was a point of contention for the veteran Dallastown coach.

“We were just wide, wide,” Myers said. “I told (Julia) at halftime, ‘Julia … you went wide four times. Put it between 12 feet.’ And she did.”

Myers is well aware that a similar problem finishing plays might be a serious problem against the Lions (17-2-0) in the finals.

“It’s the game of hockey,” she said. “You just have to cash in and not to hit so many wide. I felt we should have had three goals in the first half. That’s how much we were down there and had good shots on goal. Their goalie played very nicely.”

Myers was happy that Barefoot, who only restarted practicing with the team Monday, was able to make a difference against the Bulldogs. Barefoot ironically suffered her injury at the same Spring Grove venue in a contest against the Rockets three weeks ago.

“It was nice having Paige back to play with us,” Myers said. “This was her first game back in 21/2 weeks. She had a compound fracture in her little finger and the bone was sticking out. So it was exciting that she got to score.”

Now the Wildcats will get a chance to seek some revenge against a Red Lion squad that upset them in the first league title contest a couple years ago. Dallastown, which has dominated Division I over the past decade, failed to qualify for last year’s tournament, which was also won by the Lions.

“It’s a big rivalry,” Snyder said. “This will be our third time playing them. We played them (two) years ago in the championship and we lost, so our theme this year has been to get revenge in the championship.”

Myers is cautiously optimistic that her team will finally be able to call themselves league champions Thursday night.

“We’ll see,” Myers said. “(Thursday) is going to be interesting. It’s going to be a good game. Both teams have quality players out there.”

Lions triumph: Red Lion will play for its third York-Adams title in a row, but it wasn’t easy against Division III champion Bermudian Springs.

Coach Carol Gillmen’s team trailed 2-1 at the half, but rallied in the second half with three tallies to earn a 4-2 victory.

“We’re excited,” Gillmen said. “To win the county championship, you have to play relentless and that’s been sort of our theme the last couple of years.”

The Lions dominated the stat sheet, but Gillmen knows that her team won’t be able to waste as many chances Thursday as they had against the Eagles. The Lions held a 16-8 edge in shots on goal and earned a remarkable 13 penalty corners to Bermudian’s two.

“Bermudian is a great team,” Gillmen said. “They have a great passing game and some forwards that can really score. But when we get the opportunities our forwards have to put it away.”

Back-to-back goals just 36 seconds apart from Paige Taylor and Ali Posey in the final four minutes sealed the Lions’ comeback victory.

“I was glad to see our team respond,” Gillmen said. “We held it together and kept up the pressure offensively. And you could see that there at the end, and that’s what we tend to do best.”

Now the Lions will look to continue their domination of the league playoffs. Red Lion has never lost since the format was started three years ago.

Morgan Kuehne scored the second of her two goals on the night a little more than four minutes into the final half to even the contest. Lion goalie Gabby Uberti recorded five saves in the victory. The Eagles got goals 15 minutes apart in the back end of the first half from Alyssa McCreary and MacKenzie Farley. Bermudian goalie Sarah Crane had 12 saves.

OTHER FIELD HOCKEY

GETTYSBURG 6, LITTLESTOWN 2: At Gettysburg, the Thunderbolts trailed 4-1 at the half and never were able to recover in the non-league match up. Dawn Kraus led the Thunderbolts with one goal and one assist. Gettysburg won the JV match, 2-0.
