FIELD HOCKEY
Mifflin County 2, Chambersburg 1, OT: The Huskies scored on a breakaway in the overtime period to sneak past the Trojans, 2-1, in a Mid Penn Commonwealth game Tuesday afternoon in Lewistown.

“I’m very proud of how our girls played,” Chambersburg coach Kelsey Baker said. “We have had a very front-loaded season. We had a week off since our last game and that gave us a chance to really get in the practice where we needed it.”

The Trojans (0-8, 0-5 MPC)) scored just 5 minutes into the game on a goal by Reagan Barrett, her first career goal. Jaxin Frazer was credited with the assist.

Mifflin County trailed until tying the game with 3 minutes left, then ended it in overtime.

Baker said, “Jaxin Frazer and Morgan Smith played a great game in the midfield. They adapted very well to playing on grass and setting the energy for the team. Reagan Barrett is a freshman and has really started to develop as an attacker. She is great at moving the ball up the field and being ready in the circle.

BOYS SOCCER
Chambersburg 2, Altoona 0: The Trojans collected a third straight victory, blanking the Mountain Lions on the road Tuesday night in a non-league game.

“Tonight wasn’t our best performance, but we’re glad to take a win,” Chambersburg coach Corey Grove said. “We were sloppy and lacked possession in the first half, so we switched a few things formation-wise in the second, and I thought the second was much better.”

Michael Cespedes and Luca Gaishauer knocked in the goals for the Trojans (4-2), and Cristian Lopez earned an assist. Goalkeeper Drew Cover made 5 saves for the shutout.

Grove said, “Luca and Michael continue to score big goals for us and I thought Drew did an excellent job in goal. He made some big saves that kept us in the game.”
