Mounts move on
- 25 October 2007
The eighth-seeded Ephrata Mountaineers outlasted the visiting Exeter Eagles in a defensive battle and advanced to face top-seeded Manheim Township (20-2-1).Ephrata's Tyler Phillips took a feed from Mike Hull and put a booming shot on net in the 24th minute that was initially stopped by Exeter goalkeeper Ross Ramaley (7 saves), but Phillips tapped in the rebound to give the Mounts (14-4-4) the gamewinner.
Exeter (13-6-1), the ninth seed, managed only four shots against the Mounts defense. Exeter is now 0-11 in the first round of District play.
The Mounts will have to defeat Manheim Township in order to have a chance to make the State Tournament. The Mounts lost earlier in the year (Sep. 20th) to the Streaks 1-0.
