Greene 5, Newfield 1

GREENE – Newfield was well aware of Greene's Paige Wilcox scoring prowess, but still could not stop her.

Wilcox had four goals in Tuesday's opening round sectional game as the Trojans advanced to play Elmira Notre Dame.

The Trojans (9-5-1) built a three-goal halftime lead en route to the win. "Everyone was passing and working well together," said Greene coach Brandy Stone. "We made some nice passes to Paige, and she had some nice passes to her teammates to open things up."
