Emmaus 1, Pleasant Valley 1 (Boys Soccer)

At Pleasant Valley, Emmaus trailed a much-improved Bears squad 1-0 at the half and appeared headed for their second loss of the season.

But senior Brayden Dang changed all that as he scored his second goal of the year off a corner kick with five minutes to play in regulation as the Hornets forced overtime before the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw.

The result leaves Emmaus with a 12-1-1 overall record and 11-1-1 in the EPC, while the Bears are now 10-2-2 and 9-2-2 in the league.

Statistically, Emmaus doubled up Pleasant Valley in both shots on goal and corners (8-4). In goal, junior Will Peck was credited with three saves for the Hornets, while his counterpart, Zach Prator, made seven stops.

The Hornets will return to action on Tuesday, October 1 as they host East Stroudsburg North at 6:30 p.m.
