"Assist on late save lifts Moon to championship" - by Rod Frisco.

"HERSHEY, Pa. -- For a brief moment late in the PIAA Class AA girls soccer championship Saturday, Moon junior midfielder Amanda Kachaylo was in shock. Emphasis on the word brief.

With her team holding a one-goal lead against Archbishop Wood, Kachaylo backed into the goalie box to help against a Archbishop Wood attack. Her presence proved timely. A low shot by Wood's Laura Romano spun off the hands of Moon keeper Nicole Falcione and made a beeline for the post to Falcione's left.

Kachaylo, stunned to see the ball heading toward the goal, suddenly sprang toward the spinning ball and lunged with her legs, knocking the ball past the post and the foot of an oncoming Wood player."
