Chambersburg 4, Central Dauphin 3, OT: Colton Hunsecker scored a goal with less than a minute remaining in the second overtime period to lift the Trojans over the Rams in a Mid Penn Commonwealth game at Linglestown on Monday afternoon.

Chambersburg (10-3, 7-2 MPC), winners of six in a row, were already without its leading scorer (Michael Cespedes) and second leading scorer Mario Wiesman went out at halftime with a 1-0 deficit.

“We moved Izhais Jean up top at halftime and he did a great job creating and scoring himself,” Trojan coach Corey Grove said. “We were down 1-0, but his goal and two beautiful goals by Cristian Lopez put us ahead 3-1.”

Jean had two assists and Lopez and Luca Gaisbauer each had one. Drew Cover made 8 saves in goal. Chambersburg, now ranked No. 3 in Class 6A in District 3, was out-shot 13-9, but had more corners, 4-3.

Grove said, “For us to go up to CD and still get a result (with the injuries) was a testament to the belief of our guys as well as players stepping up. I thought Till Dickman, Elvis Lopez and Drew Cover were the unsung heroes today.”

“It was a great match tonight between two good teams,” Chambersburg coach Ty Frelin said. “We got behind in a few of the sets and had to fight from behind quite a bit. We played hard, but we just couldn’t get over the top.”

Addi Kegerreis tied for the team lead in service points with 11, led in digs with 26 and added 15 kills.

For the Trojans (5-9, 3-5 MPC), Marah Lehman led in kills with 16 and had 20 digs, and Paige Davis led in assists with 38 and had 19 digs. Alayna Jones had 6 blocks and 9 points. In addition, Nizaya Hawkins had 3 blocks, Morgan Shaner had 11 points and Karley Skuletey had 25 digs.

“Sarah played so, so well,” Chambersburg coach Niko Mucci said. “She came out firing in the first set, but ended up falling in the final two sets.”
