Parkland Defeats Easton in Soccer Final, 5-0

Patrick Birns, in his first season as boys varsity soccer coach, took the team to the  Lehigh Valley Conference championship Thursday night.

The Trojans beat Easton's Red Rover 5-0 and will move on to districts. And even with some players out due to injuries, the Trojans easily beat Easton, according to the Express Times.

Birns inherited a young soccer club with two seniors, 12 juniors and one sophomore returning from a 14-6-1 season lst year.

The Trojans fell to Emmaus twice, including a 1-0 loss in the 2010 Lehigh Valley Conference tournament and fell to Easton in the second round of the District 11 playoffs.

But it was different this year. In a surprising upset, Easton beat Emmaus to take on parkland in the final conference game. You can watch a short interview with coach Birns on WFMZ.
