Ephrata Downs Cocalico to Stay Undefeated

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.
