Bender hangs four goals on Pates

The Emmaus High School girls soccer team stayed undefeated on the season with three more victories in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference last week.

The Hornets opened the week with a 5-0 win at Freedom last Monday, Sept.21, then returned to Memorial Field and defeated East Stroudsburg South 7-0 on Wednesday, followed up an 8-1 win at Stroudsburg two days later.

In the victory over the Patriots, Emmaus tallied three goals in the first half and added two more in the second half.

Lizzy Bender had a hand in four of her team’s five goals, contributing three assists and then scoring one of her own to lead the barrage.

Sofia Isaksson and Brooke Evans tallied a goal and an assist and Giuliana Meyer and Cecilia Albeck rounded out the scoring with a goal each.

Zoe Reppert and Morgan Betz split time in net, with Reppert making two saves.

In the win against the Cavaliers, Meyer recorded a hat trick and Bender tallied two goals while adding four assists.

Ella Daly and Evans each found the back of the net once, with Evans adding an assist. Isaksson and Ella Scharper both contributed an assist.

Reppert and Betz both played in goal and Reppert once again had two saves.

Against the Mounties, Albeck had a career day and led all scorers with four goals. The Hornets gave up just the second goal of the season in the first half, but the Hornets tacked on two more before halftime.

Bender finished with one goal and three assists. Meyer recorded two goals and two assists. Evans tallied one goal and two assists. Betz made two saves and Reppert had one.

Emmaus, which improved to 11-0 overall and 10-0 in the conference, is at the top of the conference standings, with Nazareth also unbeaten at 8-0.

The Hornets hosted Pleasant Valley Tuesday and are at East Stroudsburg North on Thursday before welcoming Liberty Monday.
