CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – Fresh on the heels of a critical Route 42 Rivalry win, the EMU Men's Soccer loaded up the bus for a trip north to the Keystone Stone to duel with Wilson College. In a display more dominant than the score indicates, the Royals put up a goal in each half to extinguish the Phoenix, 2-0.
