LEHIGHTON — Kylie Siket put on a show Wednesday in the District 11 Class A girls’ soccer championship.

The Schuylkill Haven junior scored four goals and had two assists as the Hurricanes rolled past Minersville 7-2 at Lehighton’s Multi-Purpose Stadium.

The victory gives Schuylkill Haven its first District 11 girls’ soccer championship since 2013 and advances the Hurricanes to the PIAA Class A soccer tournament against District 2 champion Holy Redeemer on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at a District 2 site.

“It definitely is awesome scoring that many goals on a big field like this,” Siket said. “Obviously I wouldn’t have been able to do it without my teammates, setting me up for perfect goals.”

Siket’s big night came as a result of Minersville’s defensive game plan to shut down the Hurricanes’ leading scorer, Taylor Haag. The Miners heavily marked Haag throughout the first half, leaving Siket with plenty of space to operate, especially on the left wing. Siket took advantage, working well with Ava Terefencko to tally a pair of first-half goals.

Siket opened the scoring at 4:22 off a feed from Terefencko. The pair switched roles at 24:28 when Terefencko headed a free kick from Siket near the left corner past Minersville keeper Bella Rizzardi to put Haven up 2-0.

“We have so many people on the field who can score. It works out in our favor,” Siket said. “I was able to have assists because people other than Taylor were scoring. Taylor was still able to score, it just left openings for everybody, not just me.”

Schuylkill Haven coach Scott Burcik said his squad learned from its two regular-season Schuylkill League Division II meetings with the Miners — a 1-1 tie Sept. 3 at Minersville and a 5-0 win Sept. 24 at Haven — that using a spread approach worked offensively.

“We needed to get the ball on the ground and make movement off the ball,” Burcik said. “They did something different where they marked Taylor Haag and it opened things up for others to step up. Kylie Siket just put goals away.

“It’s a team effort. You try to stop one and you have three more to come after. We needed to spread the field and get many people involved as possible.”

Schuylkill Haven (16-5-1) broke the game open with five goals in the second half, putting 10 shots on goal. Haag broke free, tallying two goals and two assists.

Siket gave the Hurricanes a 3-0 lead 2:42 into the half after Haag played the ball up the middle and made a perfect pass to the right to Siket, who countered with a shot to the left of Rizzardi.

Top-seeded Minersville (15-4-2) got on the board when Danica Gill scored at 51:30, but Siket recorded the hat trick 14 seconds later with a long shot from the right wing.

Haag made it 5-1 on a penalty kick at 52:22 before Siket notched her fourth goal off a feed from Haag at 54:56. Haag capped Haven’s outburst with her second goal off a feed from Siket with 2:22 remaining.

Minersville’s Hope Motuk accounted for the final score by scoring with 1:22 left.

“It’s good to see the outcome for these girls finally happened,” said Burcik, whose team outshot Minersville 14-7. “Beating Moravian (Academy in the semifinals) was the first step and a feel-good moment. It sort of rolled into this one.”

Siket is one of a core group of Schuylkill Haven players that also won the Schuylkill League girls’ basketball title last winter, reached the District 11 Class 3A championship game and won a PIAA Class 3A state playoff game, a group that includes Audrey Hutchinson, Lilly McDonald, Mckenna Runkle, Kelly Ulsh, Terefencko and Haag.

In a span of eight months, the Hurricanes have qualified for the state playoffs in two sports.

“It’s amazing, especially doing it with my best friends,” Siket said. “I wouldn’t want to do it with any other group of people.”
