Mounts inch closer to title


ImageThe Ephrata Mounts boys soccer team inched closer to another section title as they turned back Conestoga Valley by the score of 2-1 last night.

Ephrata jumped out to a 2-0 lead at the half as Tyler Phillips and Tom Renko scored within minutes of each other.

The Buckskin's Josh Cody added a goal with 6 minutes left in the game to cut the lead to one, but that would be as close as the Buckskins could get.

The season standings now show Ephrata (9-2-4) in the section lead with 31 points, finishing the regular season with Cocalico (4-9-2) anything but a loss to the Eagles will guarantee the Mounts the Section Crown. The Mounts can still win the title outright with a loss if both CV and Elizabethtown lose. CV and E-town are tied for second place with 28 points. CV finishes with Garden Spot, while E-town plays Solanco.
