District 10 soccer teams go 3-0 during PIAA tournament openers

Lorenzo Baker’s Nov. 10 performance was instant history for the Mercyhurst Prep’s boys soccer program. The Laker who shut out Winchester Thurston over 110 minutes of regulation and overtime action was the same Laker whose goal ended the teams’ PIAA Class 1A tournament opener at Mercyhurst University’s Saxon Stadium. Coach Jake Gamble sent out Baker, his goalkeeper, as the team's fifth shooter for the shootout format that determined the victor. The senior lined up for his 12-yard attempt against the Bears’ Ian Leaman, the other reason for the scoreless match. Baker, who also kicks for Mercyhurst’s football team, won the rare goalie vs. goalie matchup. Leaman guessed wrong when he dove to his right on a shot that went left. The scenario wasn’t unique according to Baker, who was mobbed by teammates after his goal clinched their 5-3 shootout and the Lakers’ berth the state quarterfinals. “I knew (the shootout) was coming after a while,” Baker said, “and I told the guys, ‘Everybody get your minds right.’ This (tournament) was stapled on our bulletin board throughout this season. Not just this (match), but going for the (title).” Mercyhurst, District 10’s champion, will take a 15-5-1 record into its Nov. 14
