The Parkland High School girls soccer team has had an unbeaten start to its 2023 regular season. The Trojans had two wins and a tie in the opening week, all Eastern Pennsylvania Conference contests, and then won all three of their games last week.

Parkland defeated Pocono Mountain East 8-0 in the home and season opener on Monday, Aug. 28, and then took down Bethlehem Catholic 2-1 that Wednesday. The Trojans finished opening week with a 2-2 tie against Central Catholic two days later.

Against the Cardinals, Ellie Kocher led the offense with two goals, and Dani Marsteller, Liana Zurinskas, Isabella Hallal and Aristea Gougoustamos all had one goal for Parkland. Marsteller contributed two assists and Emma Hull, Gougoustamos, Zurinskas and Joanna Chou each added an assist. Sophia Hallal made one save in goal.

Versus the Golden Hawks, Julia Hayward and Marsteller did all of the scoring as the Trojans held on for the one-goal victory. Chou contributed an assist and Hallal and Sophie Frank split time in goal for Parkland with the former finishing with one save and the latter having two.

Kocher and Gougoustamos recorded a goal each in the draw with the Vikettes, as Marsteller and Kocher contributed an assist each. Hallal finished with a season-high five saves.

Parkland then played three games in as many days last week and won all three, all on the road. The Trojans were victorious over Pocono Mountain West 7-0 last Thursday, got the better of Dieruff 6-0 on Friday and then won a nonconference game against Governor Mifflin 3-1 on Saturday. Kocher, Zurinskas, Gougoustamos, Emma Hull, Lauren Ervin, Hayward and Marsteller were the goal scorers in the game with the Panthers, and Chou (2), Gougoustamos (2), Ervin, Hayward and Zurinskas made the scoresheet in assists. The Trojans did not allow any shots in the game.

This week, Parkland has another busy week of games with three games. The Trojans knocked off Easton this past Monday 6-1. They hosted Northampton on Wednesday and play at Freedom on Friday.
