The Notre Dame boys soccer team delivered a strong offensive performance against Saucon Valley, finding the back of the net eight times in a decisive victory. The Crusaders built their lead with two goals in the first half before adding six more after halftime to complete the impressive showing.

Luc Bankowski and Gene Behme scored in the opening half, giving Notre Dame an early advantage heading into the break. The Crusaders continued to apply pressure in the second half, with Henry Hauff, LJ Simon, Alex Pirog, Liam Behrens, Nick Costa, and Brady Corwin each finding the back of the net.

The match also featured first varsity goals for Pirog, Costa, and Corwin, marking a memorable night for the three Crusaders. Hauff contributed three assists, while Behme, Bankowski, Drew Salaki and Justin McCree each added one. 

Notre Dame will look to carry its offensive momentum into Saturday’s road match against Catasauqua.
