Cumberland Valley 3, Chambersburg 0: The Eagles burned the Trojan defense on a pair of quick counters for goals in the first half and used that cushion to hand Chambersburg a Mid Penn Commonwealth defeat Thursday evening at Trojan Stadium.

Chambersburg coach Paul Unruh said, “We got down early, but our response was positive and we played our way back into the game, gaining some momentum from which we created some high-percentage chances.

“We played the second half with the most physicality I’ve seen from the girls this season, and with the exception of the penalty kick we gave away, we did very little wrong.  Brooke Bidniuk has put in two super solid defensive shifts this week.”

The Trojans are 3-5-2 (2-4-1 MPC); the Eagles are 8-3.

BOYS SOCCER
Cumberland Valley 4, Chambersburg 0: The Trojans got off a rough start against the Eagles and could not recover, taking a Mid Penn Commonwealth defeat Thursday night at New Kingstown.

“The first half we came out flat against a very good CV team and they made us pay,” Chambersburg coach Corey Grove said. “Second half was much better, but we just couldn’t get anything going. We are looking forward to righting the ship and finding some wins next week.”

The Eagles (8-1) had 15 shots to 5 for the Trojans (3-7-1, 1-4-1 MPC), and led in corners, 7-2. Chambersburg goalkeepers Tyson Shanholtz and Gio Barberio split 8 saves.
