LEHMAN - With all phases of
the game working to near perlec-
tion, the Lake-Lehman girls’ soc-
cer team began its quest for a
district crown with a 5-0 shutout
of North Pocono at home Monday
afternoon. The number one seed
from District 2 is now 13-1-1 on
the season.
The Lady Knights will [ace num-
ber four seed Meyers in a district
semi-final game. That contest
will be played under the lights at
7 p.m. Wednesday at Wyoming
Valley West Stadium. A Wednes-
day victory puts them in the dis-
trict championship, which will also
be played in Kingston either Fri-
day or Saturday night.
It took Lehman only about 75
seconds to get the ball — as well
as the game — under control. The
majority of the game was played
on the half of the field being de-
fended by North Pocono.
When the Lady Knight
midfielders weren't controlling the
tempo of the game, they were set-
ting up their strikers, who were
constantly streaking toward the
goal. Inthoserare instances when
the Lady Trojans had a chance to
push the ball the other way, the
Lehman defense was right there
to take it away.
“We knew the kind of game
they were going to play,” said jun-

ing that nothing was going to get
past the backfield. “We concen-
trated on switching fields. I just
wanted to get the ball back to our
front line — they're really good.”
North Pocono entered the game
with a 9-2-4 record and 31 goals
on the season, yet couldn't even
get near the net. Winning goal
keeper Trish Pilosi only had to
handle one shot, and even that
was something of a [luke. North
Pocono's only real scoring oppor-
tunity was a direct kick over the
defense from about 40-yards out
al approximately the 12-minute
mark of the third period.
In the meantime, Lehman re-
corded 38 shots and 10 corner

a corner kick while losing goal-
keeper Adrienne Price picked up
18 of the club's 19 saves.
“(North Pocono) attacked a little
better than when we played them
last year,” said L.ehman co-head
coach Dave Elston, "bul we were
able to move the ball around.”

DALLAS TOWNSHIP - It's been
a turnaround worthy ofthe record
books.
The Dallas girls’ track and field
team has finished on top of the
Wyoming Valley Conference AA
division each of the past two sea-
sons with a combined 23-3 record.
That includes a perfect 10-0 mark
against divisional opponents. All
three loses have come at hands of
AAA schools.
The only team to defeat the
Lady Mounts two years running
has been Wyoming Valley West,
the area's prominent program.
Dallas wound up second at last
year's district tournament and
fourth this year.
That's quite a change from two
seasons ago when the Lady
Mounts were hard pressed to win
a meet with less than 10 girls on
the varsity roster.
“It's nice to turn it around back
from the dead and be one of the
top teams in the division,” said
head coach Bill Kvashay. “It's

Price managed to stop the shot,
but she was already in goal.
Adrienne Miroslaw booted in a
Jess Elston pass [rom 30 yards
out to give Lehman a 2-0 advan-
tage with 41 seconds to go in the
first. Although the Lady Knights
continued to dictate the tempo
with a precise game plan. they
failed to score during the second
period.
“Il there's anything negative
about our performance, it's that
we missed a couple of open shots,”
Dave Elston said.
Kelly Spencer, leading scorer of
the Wyoming Valley Conference
with 26 goals and 56 points, added
two goals in the third period. The
first, at 16:57, is sure to make
Lehman's highlight film. Jess
Elston booted an apparent shot
right at Price. Spencer stepped in
front of her just as she was about
to field the ball and knocked it
into the right corner of the net.
Rachel Bouthot made her pres-
ence known coming off the bench
to spell Kasper and Spencer at the
striker position. She did a splen-
did job assisting Spencer on the
run at 3:34. Spencer took the
pass and made il 4-0, zipping
pasl Price to an empty goal.
North Pocono coach Graham
Belton tried to slow down Spencer

said Robin Suda. “Last year we
started winning and that got more
(girls) interested in track.”
“We were really surprised by
the number of people that have
come out for the sport the last two
seasons,” said senior Heather
Gryziec.
Eighteen girls finished the sea-
son last year, while the roster
listed 34 when the current one
began in March.
Granted the Dallas girls have
been blessed with some excep-
tionally talented athletes on the
roster. Robin and Stacey Suda
will be making yet another trip to
states. Robin will compete in the
100 meter hurdles alter finishing
first al the District 2 meet last
week. Stacey picked up two golds,
one in the 400 meter dash and as
