Claim to fame: Youngstown’s Felder scored her 100th career goal when the GCC beat Steel Valley, 11-0, for their third straight win. She had four goals and two assists in the win for the Centurions (8-3, 8-2), who ranked second in the WPIAL Class A. She also had five goals in the 9-0 win over Sierra Catholics.
The fast-growing forward scored 100 goals and 56 assists in her four-year career before the weekend.
How did it feel to score your 100th goal, and how did the goal develop?
I felt great. I received the ball in half the field and started dribbling forward and tried to pass it to Riley Kerr to make a 1-2 pass, but it was blocked by a defender and bounced back to me and drove towards goal and scored. . I appreciate all the efforts my teammates are putting into helping me get there.
How much momentum do the GCC countries have in the playoffs?
We take one game at a time and learn from each one.
She was hit against Springdale. What happened and how much time did you miss?

I like to incorporate more recovery into practices.
I went to the WPIAL and PIAA Finals last year. How challenging will it be to return?
It’s been amazing to reach the WPIAL Final and the PIAA Final for the past two years. How we play well as a team and support each other positively in every game will determine how far we go this year.

We are a young team this year but we have a lot of potential.
