Ryan Moessner scored just over 11 minutes into the first half lifting Bentworth to a 1-0 win over Mercyhurst Prep in the PIAA 1A boys soccer quarterfinals Saturday afternoon. Andrew Vipperman sent a pass across the face of the goal and Moessner chipped it home, his school-record 44th goal of the season. DJ Hays stopped 10 Mercyhurst Prep shots, including a spectacular diving save in the first half.
