Mounts dispatch Dutchmen
- 13 October 2019
Annie Slovak scored a goal and added an assist as the Mountaineers (16-1-2) advanced to Tuesday’s league semifinals with a 2-0 quarterfinal victory over the Little Dutchmen.
Ephrata was just too much for the Dutchmen (11-5-1), making their first playoff appearance since 2015 and on the short end of a 39-4 disparity of chances.
Still, they did a great job of keeping the deficit at two goals after the Mounts scored twice in the first seven minutes.
Two minutes in, Slovak served a beautiful cross from the left wing to Mya Mahlandt, who pounded it home.
Five minutes later, Abbie Weist sent a through ball to Slovak, challenged by keeper Alyssa Ulrich.
Slovak touched the ball ahead, past Ulrich, then finished it.
“We’ve been working all season on moving off the ball,” Slovak said. “And transitioning from offense to defense. I think that really helped us today.”
