Ephrata Downs Cocalico to Stay Undefeated
- 30 September 2016
Following a rather lackluster first half in a tight, back-and-forth Lancaster-Lebanon League boys soccer game against visiting Cocalico, host Ephrata stepped up the pressure in the second half. Three corner kicks, though, didn’t lead to a change on the scoreboard.
That would instead come on a goal scored in a rather unconventional way in the 66th minute when Mounts’ junior midfielder Aaron Cummings fed a pass in along the baseline out in front of the net to teammate Gabe Sensenig. Feeling the presence of a pair of defenders around him and seeing opposing keeper Peyton Stetter in his peripherals to his right, Sensenig used the back of his foot to send a slow roller to the opposite side of the net and past Stetter’s outstretched arms.
The score proved to be the game-winner in a 2-1 L-L League victory over visiting Cocalico, keeping Ephrata (11-0-1 overall, 8-0-1 league) unbeaten and atop the Section Two standings.
They played a full 60 minutes Tuesday at Mountaineer Field, but it all came down to the final eight as Ephrata hosted Elizabethtown in Section Two field hockey.
It didn't take long for Warwick to assert itself in Friday's 55-14 [
