Chambersburg 2, Carlisle 0: The Trojans needed a win to remain in contention for the District 3 playoffs, and they got it in a shutout win over the Thundering Herd on Tuesday night at Ken Millen Stadium.
“I thought the boys played well and it was one of the more convincing wins of the season,” Chambersburg coach Corey Grove said. “We’ve found a rhythm the last four games, going 2-1-1 and giving ourselves a chance to win every game.”
Brandon Arana tallied both goals for the Trojans (5-8-2, 3-5-2 MPC), while Colton Hunsecker provided the assist on both.
Grove said, “Brandon continues to step up and score goals as a sophomore. His confidence in front of the goal has definitely helped our team find something. I thought Colton and Noah Mulewich both played a great game. And we had another plyer get hurt last week, and Bramere Pittman (sophomore) played in his absence and did an incredible job.”

Chambersburg 2, Carlisle 1: Bree Paetow scored a pair of goals — including the game-winner with 10 minutes left — to lift the Trojans over the Thundering Herd on Tuesday night at Trojan Stadium in a Mid Penn Commonwealth game.
“We were up for a fight tonight and the girls proved how much they wanted to win,” Chambersburg coach Paul Unruh said.
The Trojans (6-7-2, 5-5-1 MPC) got on the board 26 minutes into the game when Marley Onomastico played a through pass to Paetow, who found the back of the net with her shot. That lead held until Carlisle tied it midway through the second half.
“With 10 minutes left, Maddie Mills took a corner kick, which deflected back to her,” Unruh said. “She sent it back into the box and Bree was there to run through the ball and score the winner.”
