WBS Pens bid farewell

<p>DALLAS TWP. &#8212; Corey McAndrew held off Wyoming Area long enough for Cory Metz to put the Warriors away.</p><p>McAndrew made 14 saves and Metz scored three straight goals as Dallas fought off an upset bid to post a 7-3, home-field win in the District 2 boys lacrosse quarterfinals.</p><p>Dallas, which has played in all five championship games since District 2 began conducting boys lacrosse playoffs, had trouble early with Wyoming Area, which is in just its second season.</p><p>McAndrew made five of his saves while the Warriors were taking 10 straight shots during the first 5:38 of the second quarter.</p><p>The Warriors managed just one goal during that time to force a 2-2 tie.</p><p>&#8220;I knew they were going to come out big,&#8221; McAndrew said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a playoff game and they had a decent season for only their second season.&#8221;</p><p>It would have made the Warriors&#8217; season to add a playoff upset after rising from one win a year ago to 5-5 in the Wyoming Valley Conference.</p><p>&#8220;We had our opportunities,&#8221; Wyoming Area coach Shaun Rohland said. &#8220;We had some shots on cage, but they didn&#8217;t go our way.</p><p>&#8220;You have to credit McAndrew. He&#8217;s a really good goalie.&#8221;</p><p>Dallas got out of trouble and gradually gained more possession and scoring chances. Other than the first half of the second quarter, the Mountaineers held a 33-13 lead in shots.</p><p>Then, they turned to a really good goal scorer.</p><p>Metz broke the tie with 54 seconds left in the second quarter faking a pass from straight on, 13 yards out, and firing in a low shot. After a scoreless third quarter, he scored 30 seconds into the fourth quarter by getting off a quick, hard shot after taking a Stone Mannello pass on the right wing.</p><p>&#8220;I think some of us calmed down,&#8221; Metz said. &#8220;It shouldn&#8217;t have taken us three quarters.</p><p>&#8220;We settled the ball, played some good defense and then we were actually catching the ball and throwing it.&#8221;</p><p>After Metz scored again while moving to his left, Connor Motley came out from behind the goal to add two more scores in a span of 2:14 to put the game away.</p><p>Justin Joseph ended more than 32 minutes without a score for Wyoming Area by connecting with 59 seconds left.</p><p>Jake Urban and Alex Hawk had scored in each of the first two quarters for Wyoming Area to force ties.</p><p>They answered scores by Mannello and Josh Kalna.</p><p>Dallas advances to play at top-seeded Delaware Valley, the unbeaten WVC champion, Monday, barring an upset by eighth-seeded North Pocono in the Warriors&#8217; quarterfinal game Thursday.</p><p><strong>Dallas 7, Wyoming Area 3</strong></p><p><strong>Wyoming Area 1 1 0 1 &#8211; 3</strong></p><p><strong>Dallas 2 1 0 4 &#8211; 7</strong></p><p><strong>SCORING</strong> &#8211; WA, Jake Urban (goal), Alex Hawk (goal), Justin Joseph (goal), Sam Greenfield (assist). DAL, Cory Metz (3 goals), Connor Motley (2 goals), Stone Mannello (goal, assist), Josh Kalna (goal). Shots &#8211; WA 22, DAL 33. Saves &#8211; WA 11 (Curt Hager), DAL 14 (Corey McAndrew).</p><style>
