“We played great team defense tonight,” Chambersburg coach Paul Schlabach said. “State College gave us fits in our first match, but we were able to adjust, and the boys played hard.

Kellen Stepler (No. 24, above) also had a solid game, with 39 kill assists, 3 block kills and 2 aces.”

BOYS LACROSSE
Central Dauphin 15, Chambersburg 6: The Rams handed the Trojans (3-7) a Mid Penn Commonwealth defeat Thursday afternoon.

Chambersburg coach Paul Flohr said, “We didn’t play good defense and allowed too many backside passes, leading to goals on the crease. It’s very frustrating, because we worked on it all week.

“Nash Bothe again did his job, along with Jake Gordon scoring two goals as a d-mid.”

Bothe was 14-8 on faceoffs. Also scoring for the Trojans were Riley Ocker, Grayson Hopple, Thomas Elia and Haden Ocker, while Riley Ocker and Brandin Cosey had assists.
