Olivia Bley and Allie Lewis scored to lead the Westtown girls’ soccer team past Shipley, 2-0, to win its third straight Friends School League championship on Tuesday.

The Moose are 27-0-0 against conference opponents since they fell to the Gators in the title in 2016. In that stretch, Westtown has a 51-2 goal advantage over those same schools.

“It’s pretty incredible to have a group of players past and present that have contributed to this legacy,” said Paul Lehmann, who’s the co-director of athletics and assistant coach of the team. “To see this family be created, support each other, and have this kind of success, it’s awesome.”

Next year, the junior’s on this team have a chance to finish high school without a single loss against Friends School League opponents, but Lehmann said they’re focusing solely on the state tournament next week.

“It’s going to be a tough road ahead,” he said.
