A look back at Lehigh Valley sports stories over the years from Oct. 22.

2005: In a showdown between two of the top high school field hockey programs in the country, unbeaten Emmaus (21-0) snaps Eastern, N.J.’s, six-year, 153-game unbeaten streak with a 4-1 victory. Christina Bortz scores all three Emmaus goals against the three-time defending mythical national champions, who fall to 13-1-2 for the season.

2005: D.J. Lenehan becomes Wilson’s career passing leader in yardage (3,061) and touchdown passes (30) when he completes 10 of 21 for 158 yards and two

TDs in a 17-0 win over Pen Argyl. 2000: The largest Goodman Stadium crowd that didn’t come to see Lehigh play Lafayette — 16,906 — watches Lehigh score two fourth-quarter touchdowns for a 21-14 win over Bucknell that keeps them unbeaten at 7-0. 1996: Parkland’s Justin Kolumber survives a sevenman playoff and outlasts Downingtow­n’s Greg Marshalek to become the third golfer from District 11 and first in 45 years to win a PIAA championsh­ip. Kolumber and six others finished with a two-day total of 148, and he and Marshalek battled for six holes after the other five challenger­s bowed out on the first playoff hole. Kolumber joins Wilson’s Norm Staats (1938) and Allentown’s Bob Schoener

Jr. (1951) as champions from District 11.

1990: Southern Lehigh outshoots Palisades 3-1 in a shootout after the two teams battle to a 2-2 draw through regulation and 20 minutes of overtime for its fourth straight Colonial League soccer title.

976: Steve McNamee scores four touchdowns — two on pass receptions, the other two on 81 and 51-yard punt returns — in Phillipsbu­rg’s 48-26 East Penn Conference victory at Allen.
