Trevor Seibel scored five goals, including the eventual game-winner at 7:31 of the third period, as Ephrata overcame a two-goal deficit and beat Lampeter-Strasburg, 6-5, in the CPIHL Tier 2 playoffs Wednesday night at Lancaster Ice Rink.

 

The No. 8 Mounts advance to face Red Land in the next round of the consolation bracket on Friday, while the fith-seeded Pioneers are eliminated. Red Land beat Palmyra 5-2 on Wednesday.

 

Joshua Buohl recorded a goal and three assists and Steven Zuziak had two assists for Ephrata. Nicholas Mummau and Kyle Martin each had a goal and an assist for L-S.

 

The Mounts play Red Land on Friday night at 7:00.

Ephrata's girls' basketball coach attributed it to post-championship hangover.

 

It caused the Mounts to struggle through three sluggish, offensively-challenged quarters and then a fourth-quarter collapse, as gutsy Elco eased to a 35-26 win in the Lancaster-Lebanon League quarterfinal playoffs at Ephrata Middle School Tuesday.

 

With so much to gain, some things, Hannah Reimel admitted, got lost.

 

"Both teams fought really hard and we both wanted it really bad," Ephrata's senior guard said of Friday night's playoff for the L-L League Section Two girls' basketball title against backyard rival Cocalico.
