Wellsboro head coach Sharon Zuchowski picked up her 100th career Varsity win as her Lady Hornets swept Wyalusing 3-0 in Wellsboro on Tuesday, October 17.
"It has been a privilege to be able to come back to Wellsboro and coach in a program that started me off in the sport," reflected Zuchowski after the match "I played for, and then coached under, the very successful Coach Anne McNaight. I am grateful for what she taught me and have tried to use some of those same principals even though the game has seen so many changes. These wins came off the hands of some very talented young ladies. It was a great win for this team tonight as we finish up our regular season and start thinking about Districts."
