Youthful Mountaineers stopped cold by defending state champs The future looks bright for a team that started six freshmen. Staff report ALLENTOWN, June 3 — Outgunned and eventually outmanned, a Dallas girls soccer team that fielded six freshman starters fell hard to Council Rock South in the second round of the PIAA Spring Soccer Tournament. The District 2 champion Mountaineers ended the sea- son with a 17-1-1 record, and great expec- tations for next season. “lI wish them the best of luck next year,” said Michelle Luksh, one of three starting seniors. “They are going to be awesome. They have a lot of good girls coming back.” Council Rock South was the top- ranked team in the state coming into the tournament. It took them only 54 sec- onds to score the only goal they needed to win a 5-0 shutout. The first few minutes of the game were very physical, and the officials stopped play to confer with the team captains. Shortly after Council Rock South scored its third goal 24 seconds into the second half, Dallas’ Cate McGuire was red carded for a push on Whitney Weinraub. “She was pushing our girls the whole game,” McGuire said. “I had enough of her.” Dallas played the rest of the game with “10 players. Luksh also was red carded for a run-in with Weinraub. “Michelle Luksh and Cate McGuire got thrown out of the game because they were retaliating for what happened before, what the refs didn’t call,” said Dallas head coach Chris Scharff. Scharff was philosophical about the loss. “I thought we did great making it to the state quarterfinals and playing the number one team in the state and play- ing with them most of the game,” he said.
