There is no one more
respected in the Lancast-
er High School girls soccer
locker room that senior
captain Emma Sisti. When
the team found out there
was going to be a story done
on her everyone wanted to
make sure we knew what
type of person she was -
and how loved she is.

It’s no surprise that
when she went down with
season ending injury that
the wheels fell off the bus
for the Legends. With
expectations being high
for this club, the Legends
limped to the playoffs
with a 7-9 record and a
number five seed.
They missed their cap-
tain in the back end. Sisti
was the glue that has kept
the defense together.
Without her on the field,
other players had to play
out of position to make
up for her play. But, what
they missed more on the
pitch may have been her
leadership.
It’s a lot different when
you are sitting on the
bench in street close. You
can try and lead all you
want, but players may not
respond like they would
do if you were on the
pitch. The team missed
her leadership on the
pitch.
When you look back
there and the rock of
the defense isn’t there it
could be def lating. This
is how much Sisti is re-
spected.
“It’s an honor to have
the respect of my team-
mates and for them to
look to me for leadership.
The girls on my team are
family to me and I care
and love them all. I’m al-
ways talking on the field
