Mounts turn back Spartans
- 27 October 2009
The Ephrata Mounts boys soccer team played host to the Garden Spot Spartans Monday night in a District 3 AAA play-in game.After battling to a 0-0 tie in the first half, Ephrata's Nate Latshaw scored off of a cross by Alec Weaver eleven minutes into the second half to give the Mounts (11-5-3) the only goal they'd end up needing to eliminate the Spartans (7-6-6).
Within 7 minutes however, Latshaw looped a shot of the Spartan keeper to put the Mounts up 2-0 with 22:04 left in the contest.
Despite outshooting the Mounts 9-7, and holding a 12-4 corner advantage, the Spartans could not slip one past Mount's goalie Brooks Carr.
Carr recorded another clean sheet, registering 9 saves on the night.
The Mounts now advance to play the number 3 seed, Central Dauphin (15-4-0) Thursday night at Central Dauphin Middle School [directions], that contest is slated for 7:00.
