District II Soccer Playoffs. The Knights got off to a slow start threatening O'Reilly goalie Bob Scott only three times in the first quarter; however, Lehman's defense, led by fullback Brad Flee- ger, allowed only one shot on goal. Coach Bill Tooley later commented, “It was no surprise that we were flat. In the locker room, the team was loose, not up for the game as they were for Dallas.” The second quarter threatened to be similar for the first two min- utes, but Lehman’s offense came alive when the Knights pressured O'Reilly with five shots on goal. Finally, Will Woronko, assisted by Jason McDade, got one by the O'Reilly goalie eight minutes into the quarter. O'Reilly nearly coun- tered with a shot by Mike Makalusky, but the Knights’ goal- keeper Greg Dobash had no trouble blocking it. The quarter ended 1-0, Lake-Lehman with 11 shots on goal to O'Reilly's 2. It took Lehman only three min- utes in the third quarter to add another goal by Chris Salko as- sisted by Jason McDade. Although the Knights continued their attack with 12 more shots on goal, the scoreremained 2-0 during the third and fourth quarters. “The game was never in dan- ger,” Coach Tooley reflected, “but give credit to O'Reilly's strong play. We sleep-walked through four quarters. We can’t play this way next week.” When asked about the return of Junior Brian Kelly who was in- jured in the Dallas game, Tooley replied that Brian would be back Knights’ record to 15-0-2.
