Franklin Regional Boys Soccer Dominates in 4-1 Win over South Fayette  

Franklin Regional's boys soccer team did something that they have done only twice all season before their game tonight. They gave up a goal to an opponent. But it doesn't hurt much when scoring four of their own, as the Panthers did on their way to defeating South Fayette 4-1 in a fast, physical matchup at Panther Stadium in Murrysville on Tuesday, September 24.

Zach Lorenz got the scoring started for the Panthers in the 30th minute as he booted a feed from Anthony DiFalco into the net past South Fayette junior goalkeeper Austin Rees.

DiFalco put a goal of his own onto the board five minutes later when a South Fayette infraction in the box resulted in a Panthers' penalty kick, which he buried into the twine to give Franklin Regional a 2-0 lead at halftime.

South Fayette got one back with 31:24 to play in the second half as Chad Eldridge snuck a direct kick past Panthers' keeper Gianni Diacopoulos. But Franklin Regional answered two minutes later with a Blake Cooper goal, making the score 3-1.

The Panthers added a late goal in the 79th minute when Garrett Beaver scored off a Zach Lorenz feed, making the final score 4-1 for the home team.  

The win keeps the Panthers solidly at the top of the WPIAL Class 3A Section 4 standings with their 7-0-1 conference record. Thomas Jefferson, who the Panthers will play on the road on Thursday, sits in second place at 5-1-2, with the South Fayette Lions in third at 5-2-0. South Fayette will host Gateway in a section game on Thursday.
