SELINSGROVE - For nearly 30 minutes, the Selinsgrove and Lewisburg boys soccer team were locked in a struggle.
The Green Dragons kept trying to take the lead, but Cole Catherman and the Selinsgrove defense stymied every chance.
At one point, Catherman made two saves, and a defender was forced to clear a ball in the same sequence, but still the Green Dragons did not score.
Anthony Bhangdia broke through with 8:28 left in the game as Lewisburg scored three goals in the final 8:30 of the game to take a 4-1 victory over the Seals.
Bhangdia scored off a Jack Dieffenderfer assist nine minutes into the game to give Lewisburg a 1-0, before Nick Ritter tied the game with 11:25 left in the first half off an assist from Matt Gilfert.
The teams remained tied until late in the second half.
Bhangdia scored with 8:28 left in the game off an assists from Dieffenderfer. Ben Liscum and Dieffenderfer each scored unassisted goals for the final margin of victory.
