Liam Donald’s goal with 2:08 to play in the match propelled Mt. Lebanon to victory, 4-3, against Canon-McMillan in boys varsity soccer action.

With the win, Lebo (13-1-1) clinched the Section 2, Quad-A title. It’s the first section crown for the Blue Devils since 2010. Upper St. Clair, however, spoiled Lebo’s bid for an undefeated run in section with a 1-0 victory Thursday night. Ben Bacadayan scored the golden goal in overtime and was assisted by Jack Meyers.

On goals from Danny Simboro and Zach Nellas, Lebo bolted to a 2-0 advantage but Joey Fonagy knotted the contest with a pair of goals with 17:10 and 7:10 remaining in the first half. Tommy Samosky assisted on the equalizer.

Giuseppe Croce lifted Lebo into the lead, 3-2, before Nino Civitate tied the game again, scoring off a rebound with 18:59 remaining in regulation.

“After a game like that we are happy to be on the right side of it,” said Mt. Lebanon coach Bill Perz. “It was a back-and-forth game. Canon-Mac has a bunch of dynamic players and can move the ball from side to side really well. Anywhere from 40 yards and in is a set piece. They kept us under pressure until the last 30 seconds.”

With the defeat, Big Macs dropped to 8-2-1 in the section and 11-3-1 overall. The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for C-M.
