Mounts stunned by Falcons

ImageAndrew Clemens' penalty-kick goal with 17:27 remaining was the difference for the Cedar Crest Falcons (11-9-1), who upset the top-seeded Mountaineers (17-2-1) at Ephrata's War Memorial Field.

The Falcons, the 16th seed, were awarded the penalty kick when officials decided Falcons sophomore forward Greg Shertzer was pulled down just inside Ephrata's penalty box.

Clemens, a senior defender, eventually made good on the freebie by punching a shot into the upper left corner.

Ephrata took a 1-0 lead 20:29 into the game when junior striker Dan Hagey headed in a 30-yard pass from Fernando Buitrago.

Crest, which matched Ephrata's shot total (seven) for the game and finished with a 6-5 advantage in corners, answered 10:38 into the second half on a goal from midfielder Stephen Melnick.

After failing behind on Clemens penalty kick, the Mounts eventually had a chance to tie it with 5:50 left, but Hagey's shot from the right wing trickled just wide of the far post.

Ephrata, the two-time defending L-L League Section Two champion, was undefeated in its first 18 games this season, before losing to Manheim Township, 5-3, in Saturday's L-L championship game.

The Falcons will face Wilson in Saturday's semis at a site and time to be determined.
