The Emery Spartan soccer team opened their 2026 season with a 5-1 victory over the Beaver Beavers on Tuesday. Emery came out firing, scoring four goals in the first half to take a 4-1 lead at the break. The Spartans' defense held Beaver scoreless in the second half to secure the win.
Why it matters
After a tough 2-17 season last year, the Emery boys soccer team is looking to bounce back in a smaller Region 13. This opening win against Beaver sets a positive tone as they prepare to face tougher opponents like Union, North Sanpete, Manti, and Carbon in the new regional alignment.
The details
Emery's Seth Winter led the way with a hat trick, scoring three goals. Zach Canterberry and Ryker Sermon each added one goal, while Corbin Ward and Marcelo Gordilho recorded assists. The Spartan defense held Beaver to just one goal in the match.
- The match was played on Tuesday, March 5, 2026.
