GAME NOTES – Emmaus begins its quest for its first District XI title since 2007 as they face Liberty for the third time this season in the quarterfinals. The Hornets won the previous two meetings – 3-2 in the EPC playoffs and 4-0 in the regular season … Emmaus last played in the EPC semifinals back on May 11, suffering their first shutout of the season in a 5-0 loss to Stroudsburg … Liberty is coming off a pigtail round win over PM West 8-0 back on Monday. That win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Hurricane.
