Marathon 3, Greene 2

MARATHON – Marathon was able to turn the tables on Greene and gain some redemption from an early-season loss.

The Olympians rallied with two goals over the final seven minutes to prevail over Greene. It was the Trojans’ first loss in nine contests. “We did play well, but we didn’t always execute big when we needed to,” said Greene coach Sue Carlin. “There were some good points, and there were some points we need to improve on.”

Coming out of a timeout with nine minutes left, Marathon kept the pressure on and tied the game at 7:06 on Tessa Knapp’s second goal of the game. Marta Malmberg had the winner with 3:55 remaining after a penalty corner.

Greene led twice in the game taking a 1-0 lead in the first half on Andrea Day’s goal, and moving in front 2-1 at 21:56 of the second half. Erin Smith took a pass from Emily Conroe and blasted the ball into the cage. “We had some very good moments, but they took it hard to us the final 10 minutes,” Carlin said.

Greene plays Whitney Point on Tuesday.
