BOYS' SOCCER
VARSITY:
On Saturday 9/24/22, Spirit Day here at EHTHS, the Boys soccer team hosted the Indians of Lenape, a Group IV powerhouse. The Eagles awoke early in the first half and never looked back. Senior Captain Nathan Biersbach scored the first goal from Gilmer Mendoza’s assist. The Eagles lit up the scoreboard three more times in the second half to secure the critical win. Gilmer Mendoza scored off an assist from Matty Sanchez. Joey Martin’s third goal of the game was a beautiful right-footed volley into the back of the net. Nathan Biersback struck again late in the game for his second goal of the game, Sanchez with his second assist of the game. Senior Goalie Brett Barnes made 4 saves in the win.
On 9/26/22 our Eagles hosted Division Rival, Hammonton, in a rematch of last year’s Conference Final game. The Eagles were a bit off this Monday afternoon, giving up an early goal and unable to get back on track. The Eagles were down 1 nil at half and had some spark in the second half when Nathan Biersbach scored on a PK. Unfortunately, Hammonton struck again and won 3-1. The Eagles are confident they will avenge this loss on the road in October. Senior Goalie Brett Barnes made 5 saves in the loss.
Wednesday, 9/28/22 the Bulldogs of Bridgeton walked happily into Eagle Stadium and 80 minutes later sadly exited. Senior, Gilmer Mendoza started the scoring frenzy with a beautiful side-panel blast off an assist from the head of Freshman Lucas Cross. Gilmer would also score the third goal of the game. Senior Captain Nathan Biersbach scored twice, the second and fourth goal. Sophomore Julianny Bados had the assist on Biersbach’s fourth goal. Senior Goalie Kevin Le made 3 saves in the win.

The Freshmen Boys Soccer team continued their great season with two more victories this past week. They kicked off EHT Pride Day with a 3-0 victory over Lenape. Sebastian Aquino, Rami Orellano and Adan Reed scored for the Eagles, while Jonathan Alicea and Chase Lagroteria combined in the cleansheet. On Tuesday, the boys traveled to Richland and earned a dominant 3-0 win over St. Augustine Preparatory School. Sebastian Aquino scored the first goal while Rami Orellano added two in the second half. Jack Carrol kept the cleansheet in goal. The freshmen are now 4-1 on the season.
