NORWICH – The Lady Purple Tornado girls soccer team took home a tie with rival Oneonta Tuesday, September 12, on their home turf.

The game looked like a table tennis match as the ball would constantly go back and forth between the two halves of the field.

The first-half of the game would end in a 0-0 tie with the ball mostly in the Yellowjackets offensive half of the field. It was in the second half that Norwich would kick it up a notch and really put pressure on in their offensive push.

Oneonta would start the scoring with a goal by Meredith Smithling, just under the 18 minute mark in the second half. But Norwich would answer seven minutes later with a goal by Hannah Klockowski, with an assist from teammate Sydney Coggins.

Three and half minutes later, Coggins would record her own goal, giving Norwich the lead 2-1. The Yellowjackets would respond with a goal by Hannah Johnson at the 31:36 mark.

Both teams would have opportunities in the overtime sessions but would not be able to capitalize
