ECC will take on top-seeded Brockway at 7 p.m. Thursday at DuBois High School in the semifinals.
PORT ALLEGANY 2, FOREST AREA 1
PORT ALLEGANY, Pa. – Second-half goals just a little over three minutes apart helped defending District 9 Class 1A champion and third-seeded Port Allegany hold off an upset attempt by sixth-seeded and visiting Forest Area, 2-1.
The Fires, who didn’t even get to a needed .500 record until the last regular-season game, took a 1-0 lead at halftime on a scramble in front of the net that ended up on the net off the foot off Seth Berlin.
But Port Allegany tied the game in the 53rd minute on a goal by Tyler Lashway, and in the 56th minute, David Talkington put home a rebound off a Payton Caden shot to give the Gators the lead.
Port Allegany will take on second-seeded Clarion-Limestone at 7 p.m. at Varischetti Field in Brockway.
