For the Economopoulos sisters, LD soccer success is a just a family thing

Lower Dauphin play in their first program girls soccer state championship on Friday.

Lower Dauphin will have a short trip to Cumberland Valley’s Eagle View for the PIAA 3A championship game on Friday, one of the shortest trips of anyone competing in the 15 championships that will take place this weekend.

Ashley Economopoulos was sitting towards the back, a senior co-captain for the Falcons, seated next to the Falcons other captain, Janae Swartz, and they had just one question in mind: Is this energy good?
