BOYS SOCCER

Chambersburg 2, State College 1: The Trojans picked up a huge win on the road Saturday, reversing an earlier loss to State College by handing the Little Lions a 2-1 Mid Penn Commonwealth defeat.

“The boys played really well, especially coming off a disappointment on Thursday (2-2 tie vs. Cedar Cliff),” Chambersburg coach Corey Grove said.

Asher Schwartz scored the first Trojan goal, assisted by Amin Butler. Chuy Munoz fed Griffin Redding with a pass and Redding knocked in the second goal. Andrew Armstrong made 7 saves.

Grove said, “I’m especially proud of our young back line, which starts two sophomores as center backs and two juniors as outside backs. For their lack of experience, they are really stepping up.”

State College is in first place in the Commonwealth (9-2-1, 7-2 MPC), followed by Cumberland Valley (7-3-1, 6-2) and Chambersburg (8-3-3, 6-2-2). The Trojans host CV on Tuesday at 7 p.m.
