Sherburne-Earlville 3, Sauquoit Valley 1
SAUQUOIT – Sherburne-Earlville rebounded from a league loss earlier in the week to beat Sauquoit Valley on the road Thursday.
The Marauders, who lost their starting goalie and sweeper to injury, overcame those misfortunes to grab a 2-1 halftime lead.
“Sauquoit Valley always has a good program, and with our injuries, I was concerned,” said S-E coach Sheila Cooman. “There were times they put pressure on us, but I felt we controlled the game. We moved the ball and passed it extremely well.”
Courtney Jaspar scored her first varsity goal at 8:25 of the first half, and Karli Harris upped the S-E lead to 2-0 just over two minutes later. Samantha Crandall tacked on an insurance goal after SV had closed the margin to one.
The Marauders host Vernon-Verona-Sherrill Saturday at 3 p.m. in the finals of the S-E Field Hockey Tournament.
