Blazers' Rally Sinks Mounts
- 18 October 2017
Ephrata was seven minutes away from walking out of Manheim Central’s Elden Rettew Field with a stolen victory in the L-L League boys soccer tournament semifinals on Tuesday night when the fusillade the Mounts had been dodging from Lancaster Mennonite all evening finally landed.
The Blazers’ Tyler Wagner sent a drop pass from just in front of the baseline to Brett Diller, closing in the box.
Diller’s strike hit the underside of the crossbar then dropped in to draw the Blazers (20-0) even with Ephrata, with 6:28 to play.
Two minutes later, Matthew Lynch, fresh off a hat trick in the quarterfinals, threaded a shot through the legs of keeper Cole Hummel for the game-winner, and Mennonite advanced to Thursday’s championship game with a 2-1 victory.
