Camilo Aden scored a goal and assisted on two other goals. Connor Delong also scored a goal. Jake Niebrugge assisted on two other goals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The win brought our season record to 18-1-3 which ties the all-time school record that we set last year,&#8221; said EHS Coach Logan Arney. &#8220;We play Taylorville\u00a0 Saturday for a chance to break the all-time win record.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a strong team win that continues to set us up well as we wrap up our regular season and get prepared for post-season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Hearts will travel to Taylorville Saturday for an 11 a.m. contest.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>At Effingham<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Effingham St. Anthony racked up another victory, this one during Senior Night festivities. The Bulldogs blanked Vandalia 3-0 Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We played very well as we continue to get healthy,&#8221; said St. Anthony Coach Martin Reyes. &#8220;After many opportunities to score, Noah Jansen, a senior, got his first goal 23 minutes into the first half from a through ball by Cole Adams, a junior. Four minutes later, Noah found his second goal from a header, after Michael Wright, a senior, took a short corner to Issac Fallert, a junior, who crossed it to the back post for Noah\u2019s header.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The first half ended 2-0, but Noah was not done. Twelve minutes into the second half, Eli Hiatt, a junior, sent a throw-in to Michael Wright, a senior, who took a shot that was deflected to Noah who found his hat trick on a tap-in goal. After we went up 3-0, we tried to get the other seniors to score. We came very close multiple times, but we were not able to finish the attack on a goal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Very proud of the way we play and very happy my players are starting to come back from their injuries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was great to celebrate the contributions of our seniors: Michael Wright (captain) has led our attacks. Ronan Bailey (captain) has led our midfield playing as a box to box midfielder. Noah Jansen has played multiple positions, but developing as our striker. Ike Daiber has played mostly as a defender for many years, but developing as a midfielder as of late. Jackson Schultz is playing his first year as a defender and has been a key member of our defense. They will all be missed next year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Effingham High School celebrated Senior Night with a 5-0 victory over Charleston in soccer action Thursday.
