Soccer: Othello comes back to top Ephrata in CWAC playoffs
OTHELLO 2, EPHRATA 1: Luis Gomez and Reese Jones scored to lead the Huskies to a dramatic, come-from-behind road win in a loser-out first-round game of the CWAC district playoffs.
Luis Rodriguez put Ephrata (9-7-1, 6-3) up 1-0 in the 20th minute. In the final play of first-half stoppage time, Othello’s Bernie Garza Jr. flicked a long ball from Sergio Mondragon over to Gomez, who beat the Ephrata keeper off the volley to level the score at halftime.
Late in second-half stoppage time, Juan Tapia passed to Jones, who beat two defenders in the penalty box and connected on a rocketed shot for the game-winning goal.
Othello (11-6, 5-4) plays at East Valley of Yakima (12-4, 8-1) at 5 p.m. Friday in the second round. The winner is guaranteed a state berth and the loser will play in the GNL-CWAC crossover.
