Lily Nichter banged in 3 goals and added 3 assists to lead Chambersburg (6-8-1, 2-7-1 MPC). But she had plenty of help from Lily Cornwell, who had 3 goals and an assist.

Also getting in the scoring column were Bree Paetow, Malia Cramer and Kadence Decker, while assists came from Cramer, Zamira Jani and Moriah Martin.

Trojan coach Ed Franchi said, “We’ve been working on creating scoring opportunities and trusting our teammates, and they did really well with that today. It was nice to see the unselfish play, and being very positive and having fun.

“Our schedule is a gauntlet of quality opponents, and while we’ve had some tough losses, the girls have always fought hard. Our record isn’t indicative of the quality soccer we’ve been playing all year.”

BOYS SOCCER
State College 2, Chambersburg 1: A short-handed Trojan team traveled to take on the unbeaten Little Lions and nearly pulled off a big upset in a Mid Penn Commonwealth game on Thursday evening.

“Going into a game with four starters out against an undefeated side can seem daunting,” Chambersburg coach Corey Grove said. “I was really hard of how hard our team fought tonight. We didn’t make excuses and it required the boys to step up in roles that were unfamiliar.”

State College took a 2-0 lead, but the Trojans (10-4, 7-3 MPC), who had a six-game win streak halted, got a goal when Luca Gaisbauer drilled a free kick into the net.

Grove said, “Luca had another opportunity with 30 seconds to go when he beat his man and was going to goal when the ref blew the whistle for a foul and didn’t allow the advantage to play on, which ended the game before we could get the kick off.

“The effort on the field and energy on the bench gave us a chance. I couldn’t have asked for more.”

Drew Cover made 5 saves for Chambersburg. The Little Lions led in shots, 14-7.
