A goal with just 22 seconds remaining earned top seeded Lafayette a narrow 2-1 win over No. 4 Medina in a Section VI Class B boys soccer tournament semifinal game this evening at All High Stadium in Buffalo.

Medina took a 1-0 lead on a goal by Aidan Papaj on a direct kick with 7:51 to go in the first half.

However, Lafayette rallied to first tie the game on a goal off a corner kick with 25:30 remaining in the second half and then to claim the win with a goal on a header with only 22 seconds to go.

Medina finishes the season with a 16-3 record.
