CANASTOTA – The Sherburne-Earlville Marauders bounced back from a tough road loss in Holland Patent with a win 3-1 in Canastota Wednesday.
Sherburne-Earlville was led offensively by Owen Rodriguez, who recorded a hat trick following the Red Raiders opening goal.
Canastota took the lead in the 25th minute of the first half as Benjamin Evans carried the ball into the Marauder defensive half and fired a shot that beat S-E Keeper Conor Ryan.
The Marauders answered a few minutes later when Rodriguez scored his first of three, ending the half in a 1-1 tie.
In the second half, Rodriguez’s second goal was nearly saved by the Red Raiders keeper Jonathan Boviar, who got a hand and nearly stopped the shot. The power from the shot was just enough to carry the ball into the goal, giving the Marauders a 2-1 lead.
