NEW BERLIN – Laurel Vargas of Elmira Notre Dame didn’t want to end her junior season with a loss after the long ride to Unadilla Valley. She prevented that from happening as Vargas finished with a hat trick and assist in the 6-2 rout over the home team Tuesday.

Jumping out to an early 3-0 first half lead, the Lady Crusaders didn’t act like the long bus trip to visit the Storm effected them.

UV’s leading goal scorer, Julia Oglesby, scored in the second half to help her team avoid the shut out by Taylor Gray.

Gray did record eight saves in the contest for Elmira Notre Dame but Unadilla Valley’s Shelby Meade was able to sneak a second past her, giving the Storm their two goals for the match.

But it was all Crusaders as they were able to tack on another three goals after the intermisson, leading to a final of 6-2
