Mounts advance to semifinals
- 29 October 2006
A cold Saturday evening at Governor Mifflin was not where senior Dan Hagey wanted his season to end. With Ephrata down 2-1 late in the game, Hagey took over. With four minutes remaining, Hagey took a pass, beat two defenders and then the goalie to tie the game.Hagey wasted no time in the extra session, netting the golden goal only three minutes into overtime. His second goal, his 26th on the season gave Ephrata a 3-2 victory.
Ephrata took a 1-0 lead early on, when Tyler Phillips scored in the fourth minute. The Mounts held the lead until Cumberland Valley scored twice in two minutes, the first coming on a penalty kick in the 60th minute.
Ephrata will play Wilson in the semifinals at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Hempfield (directions ). Following that game will be the other semifinal match between Manheim Township and Mechanicsburg.
