Mounts slip past State College

No. 9 seed Ephrata (13-4) made the most of its road trip to No. 8 seed State College (10-5), knocking off the Little Lions 8-7.

Paced by Brock Boyer (five goals), the Mountaineers were in front 3-1 after the first quarter, 7-4 at halftime and 8-5 at the end of the third quarter.

Ephrata keeper Ryan Lindberg collected 14 saves.

It’s the first district playoff win since 2014 for the Mountaineers, who will travel to top-seeded and unbeaten Central York on Wednesday, scheduled for a 7 p.m. start.
