MEADVILLE \u2014 The sense of urgency was there, but the goals needed to pull even with Cathedral Prep did not follow.<\/p>\n
Trailing the No. 2 Ramblers 2-0 at the start of the second half in Monday\u2019s District 10 Class 2A boys soccer semifinal<\/a>, No. 3 Slippery Rock\u2019s effort yielded three corner kicks and a number of throw-ins and free kicks near Prep\u2019s net. But by the time Logan Berry\u2019s late header sailed past goalie Breese Stoeger, the Ramblers had tallied a third goal and the Rockets were dealt a 3-1 defeat that ended their season at Meadville High School\u2019s Barco-Duratz Athletic Complex.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Related Article: See brackets for 2026 WPIAL, District 9 and 10 boys soccer tournaments: North Catholic blanks SSA to reach semis<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWe saw some things on film that we thought we could exploit,\u201d Slippery Rock head coach Kyle Hopkins said. \u201cUnfortunately, that did not happen. But I am proud of the guys for staying with the attack, and we got the goal with (20) seconds left.\u201d<\/p>\n The all-important first goal came on a penalty kick from Prep\u2019s Will Agresti in the 16th minute.<\/p>\n Slippery Rock\u2019s Zach Lasko thwarted another scoring chance 19 minutes later, but the Rockets (12-5-2) were unable to clear the ball and Marshall Spitzer made it 2-0 for Prep.<\/p>\n \u201cThey play tough teams all season, so they are prepared for this,\u201d Lasko said of the Ramblers. \u201cThat matters, and their size was also a factor.\u201d<\/p>\n Wade Freehling blistered a shot from 20 yards early in the second half, but it smacked off the right shoulder of Prep defender Drew Johnson.<\/p>\n
