WOODSTOWN – Darren Huck has never been afraid to shake things up. If you’re standing still, he figures, you’re falling behind.
Frustrated with the state of his team’s offense over the past couple weeks, the Woodstown soccer coach shook up the lineup’s look Wednesday and it produced a 3-0 win over Glassboro.
It was only the second time the Wolverines scored more than two goals in a match since their season-high eight-goal outburst against Salem Tech in the third game of the year. They’ve scored just 10 goals in the five games since, including 1-1 tie with Penns Grove and a 1-0 golden goal win over Pennsville, games they figured to have handled a lot easier than they were.
The new alignment basically puts two men up top and five in the midfield. No personnel was changed, just the responsibilities they hold on the field. It produced almost instantaneous results as Bryce Ayars scored on a breakaway three minutes into the match.
“We made a few changes,” Huck said. “Ask any of my players, especially any of my ex-players, I’m never afraid to shake it up, to change things. Obviously, my ultimate goal is what’s best for the team.
“We have three, possibly four, formations we can play depending on situations that occur. We really felt today’s was something we could use to our advantage. It’s just a different look, different responsibilities and some boundaries and borders we needed to stay within so we stay balanced.”
Ayars scored the first two goals against the Bulldogs and assisted on the third by Nick DiTeodoro, a goal created directly by the angle of attack the new formation created.
“It’s definitely a change of scenery,” Ayars said. “It definitely helped our middle out, which we needed to do. Teams are trying to force us middle, so having that extra guy in the middle helps us out in the long run. It did what we expected it to do today.”
The look they went with Wednesday was specifically for the Bulldogs. Whether they stay with it going forward or change remains to be seen.
“My formation comes down to where our strength and weakness is,” Huck said.
Despite the limited goal production, the Wolverines’ 7-0-1 record, which currently leads the South Jersey Group I power points standings by more than two points, is their best start after eight games in more than 15 years. The 2013 team that went 20-1-1 and 2023 team that went 15-4-1 both started 7-1.
They are only unbeaten team in all of Group 1 and one of only five across South Jersey’s six classifications.
“It’s a good feeling,” Huck said.
FIELD HOCKEY
PITTSGROVE – Ava Scurry scored the ninth hat trick of her career, and second against Pennsville, to lead Schalick past the Eagles 9-2.
Scurry scored her first goal less than two minutes into the game, notched her second two minutes later and got her third in the third quarter. She now has 76 career goals. Caylen Taylor had two goals and two assists.
Luci and Lena Virga both scored goals. It’s the sixth time in the last two seasons the sisters have scored in the same game; the Cougars are 6-0 in those games. Bailey Wents and Alexis Smith also found the back of the cage.
Kendall Hoyt and Abigail Bohn scored Pennsville’s goals, with Izzy Saulin assisting on both. For Bohn, a senior, it was her first career goal.
WOODSTOWN 4, SALEM 3: Julliana Love scored all three goals for Salem.

PENNSVILLE — Woodstown freshman Margaux Lipovsky gets excited any time she can put the ball in the back of the goal, but there was a special sense of relief when her shot broke the plane in the first five minutes of Friday’s match against Pennsville.
The goal ended a two-game dry spell for the Wolverines and sent them on the way to a 6-0 victory over their county rivals.
“It made me really excited,” Lipovsky said. “Once it rolled to my stick I kind of knew that instant it was going to go in. You just get that feeling that it’s going to go in and when you follow through and see it on the backboard it’s a good feeling.”
The Wolverines (2-2) had gone more than 125 minutes without a goal since Lipovsky scored in the fourth quarter of their season-opening 7-0 rout of Deptford. It was the program’s longest drought since going four straight games without scoring Oct. 9-18 of last year.
But they lit the lamp six times against the Eagles, with goals from six different players. Zoe Lipovsky made it 2-0 early in the second quarter, followed by goals from Corinne Cocking, Bella Eachus, Talia Guardascione (on an assist from Margaux) and Brooke Dillon.
“There was definitely some relief in there that we still have our offensive lineup,” junior captain Shyann Higinbotham said. “It was just about finishing. Finally getting to finish today proved our point that we still have it in us.”
The power surge was a nice 75th birthday present for new coach Gloria Byard. After the game the players serenaded their coach with a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday” and gifted their former Olympian a comfy throw embossed with familiar words of wisdom.
“I wasn’t really surprised,” Byard said. “I know these guys are really a group of awesome, appreciative young ladies. They work hard. They don’t ask for anything. It’s a good group of young ladies, so I’m not surprised at all (what they did).”
Interestingly, for all the playing and living she has done, Friday, she said, was the first time she ever played or coached a game on her birthday.
“It’s ironic her first year being here it was on her birthday, and I think her coming back here to end it at Woodstown when she started at Woodstown is really special,” Higinbotham said. “It’s cool to be coached by her for my final two years here.”
The players gave the throw a more personal touch by stitching it with all of their favorite sayings from the coach. Lipovsky’s favorite is “You guys look like human cones” (a reference to standing around with the ball in play). For Higinbotham, her favorite is a little more direct – “Hard work works.”
That part of it did surprise the coach.
“That was amazing; it was like, wow,” she said. “It’s like they do listen to me, huh? They pay attention.”
The win Friday may not have been taken for granted, but it was always in the (birthday) cards.
“I knew we had a big shot at winning, but you never know, one any given day anything can happen,” Byard said. “But that’s the one thing: They were practicing yesterday and said coach, for your birthday gift we’re going to win.’ I said, ‘you promise?’ They said ‘definitely.’”

SALEM 2, CLAYTON 1: Julliana Love scored two goals, including the game-winner with five minutes left, and Ava Rodgers stopped a penalty stroke as the Rams (1-3) won for the first time under new coach Brittany Bryant.
After the teams played through a scoreless first half. Love broke the ice in the first minute of the third quarter. The Clippers tied it and Rodgers kept it that way when she stopped a penalty stroke. Love put the Rams back on top with her fifth goal of the year and then they held on.
“Winning our first game was amazing,” Love said. “It was a nice look of what winning felt like for the new girls on the team.
“Being able to lead my team into winning the game felt great to know that I lead the team, but I couldn’t do it without my fellow teammates having my back. Knowing I got to put two goals in the cage for my team and coaches made me so happy to know I didn’t let them down.”
SCHALICK 10, OVERBROOK 0: Ava Scurry had two goals and three assists, Luci Virga surpassed 100 career points with two goals and an assist. Virga now has 39 points and 24 assists in her career. The 10 goals are the most in a game for the Cougars since swamping Cumberland 11-0 51 weeks ago.
GIRLS SOCCER
CHERRY HILL WEST 1, SCHALICK 0: West scored a goal in the first half then held off the Cougars through several close calls. Schalick’s Kyleigh Cutler was pulled down looking at an empty net without a whistle and several free kicks went across empty nets.

SALEM – Gracie Mease and Izzy Saulin are inseparable when it comes to the field hockey field. They sit together on the team bus on the way to games. They do pre-game warmups together. They’re as close to a Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid combination a team can have.
So it just goes to figure they connected together on all three of Mease goals in the first half and played some role in all six of Pennsville’s goals in total in a 6-1 victory over Salem Monday afternoon.
Mease, a senior left forward, figured in all four Pennsville goals in the first half with her first career hat trick and an assist. Saulin, a senior center mid, had a goal in the fourth quarter and a career-high four assists.
“We do try to partner up in as much as we can and then we just find each other,” Saulin said. “We don’t, like, plan it necessarily, but it happens. It’s funny because we don’t really talk (about it), we’ll just be partners.”
“For all four years we’ve been partners for everything,” Mease said. “I just think we work very well together.”
The Eagles have had 1-2 combinations like them in the past, but none coach Lisa Doran could recall in recent years.
“They just work together well, they talk to each other and they’re just a good combination, so that’s why they’re where they are, because they play well together,” Doran said. “They’re really starting to connect.”
Before Monday’s game, Mease had scored only four goals in her three previous seasons with the Eagles (3-1). Saulin had only five career assists. But they were on target against the Rams (0-3).
Mease opened the scoring less than three minutes into the match. Julliana Love answered for the Rams 30 seconds later to tie it, then it was all Pennsville. Kendall Hoyt (on an assist from Mease) and Gina Haubrich (on an assist from Saulin) scored the other two goals. The Eagles outshot their hosts 17-5 and had a 14-2 edge in corners.
“I think we just really came together as a team and just focused on playing all as one instead of 11 different players on the field,” Saulin said. “I think that’s really what was the difference between this game and the last one (Thursday’s 1-0 loss to Gloucester Catholic).
“We made a point this year that we want everybody to be involved in everything. It’s not just I have to go in this game and I have to score and I have to get this many goals; we just want to help each other. It showed a lot this game with so many different people scoring. This game, when we have all these different people scoring is more fun than just one or two people.”
CUMBERLAND 5, SALEM TECH 1: Alaina Miletta scored three goals assisted on two others, and the Colts pulled away from a 1-0 game with four goals in the second half. Jessilyn Chambers scored the Chargers’ goal in the fourth quarter.
