TOWANDA — Senior Hannah Walker scored midway through the first half to lift Athens to a 1-9 win over Towanda here Thursday night in NTL girls soccer action.

“Defensively, we did a really ice job,” said Athens coach Rich Pitts. “Towanda played really hard tonight and battled for 80 minutes.

“I thought we played OK in moments, but we need to be a whole lot better offensively,” added Pitts. “So, the next two weeks we need to work in the offensive end more. “

Athens outshot Towanda, 10-2, and had a 7-0 edge in corner kicks.

Athens, now 9-6, hosts Bloomsburg Saturday at 11 a.m.
