Second time's the charm for Loch Raven
From The Sun's Stefen Lovelace:
The Loch Raven boys soccer team needed no spark going into its 2A North regional final against Eastern Tech.
"We didn’t really need to get them up," Raiders coach Joe Fiedler said. "We lost to them early in the year even though we outshot them, 17-2. We lost on an own goal, so I didn’t have to say much."
Loch Raven outshot the Mavericks again, this time 22-5, with one of Steve Ehatt’s shots getting through to produce a 1-0 win.
Advancing to the state semifinals is becoming routine for the Raiders. This is the team’s fourth appearance in the state semifinals in the last five years. Last year they advanced to the 2A championship game, but were defeated by Hammond, 3-1.
That defeat has motivated Loch Raven’s seniors.
"The seniors feel that they’ve been there once," Fiedler said. "Now they want to get the prize."
Loch Raven meets Kent Island in the semifinals tomorrow at Washington College at 2:30 p.m.
