Greene 1, Maine-Endwell 0

GREENE – In a matchup of returning Section IV champions, Greene remained unbeaten on the season edging Maine-Endwell.

Erin Smith scored for the Trojans (5-0) with 3:28 left in the first half. She took a pass on a penalty corner from Jahna Driscoll, pulled the ball left to avoid an M-E defender, and blasted a hard shot that nicked off a Spartans defender into the goal.

“I thought we played very well under pressure today,” said Greene coach Sue Carlin. “They gave us a good test, and we weathered the storm. Our defense came up big when we needed it.”

Greene meets Harpursville this Friday at 5 p.m. at the Oxford tournament.

Sidney 5, Oxford 1

OXFORD – Five different Sidney players scored goals, and the Warriors pulled away in the second half with three unanswered goals.

Jess Fusco scored three minutes into the second period, and Melia Wakeman upped the lead to three goals midway through the half. “They came out strong in the second half and took it to us,” said Oxford coach Melissa Chrystie. “That is probably the best Sidney team I have seen in a while. They really moved the ball well.”

Oxford meets Sidney again on Friday at 7 p.m. in the first round of the Oxford tourney.
