Mounts win another Section Two crown
- 12 October 2006
It's the middle of October and that usually means two things, the leaves are starting to change colors and Ephrata's boys soccer team is wrapping up another section title.Well, the leaves began to turn a few weeks ago and tuesday night (10/10) in New Holland, the Mounts put the finishing touches on their third-straight Section Two crown with a convincing 5-1 victory over host Garden Spot.
Some things never change.
Ephrata (10-2-2 section, 12-2-2 overall), which has not lost to a Section Two opponent in the three years it has competed there, certainly was determined not to let it happen Tuesday night.
Tyler Phillips scored a pair of goals, while Jeremy Yoder, Dan Hagey and Eli Saenz also found the back of the net in the big win.
"It was a team effort. Everyone contributed," first-year Ephrata Coach Rob Deininger said following Tuesday's victory.
"Everyone worked hard to accomplish this goal, and now we'll play our last two games and get ready for next week. We'd like to win those games to get a better seed for Districts."
With Tuesday's victory, Ephrata will now face CV at home Thursday (7:00 pm) before closing the regular season out Saturday afternoon at the Middle School (1:30 pm) vs. Cocalico.
The L-L Playoffs are scheduled to begin next tuesday at a site and time to be determined. The Mounts are scheduled to face the Section Three runnersup which at this time appears to be Lampeter-Strasburg (8-3-1).
