NEW BERLIN – Kyleigh George recorded a hat trick for the Storm as Unadilla Valley captured their fourth win of the season over conference foe Bainbridge-Guilford Wednesday afternoon in the opening round of the Class C tournament, defeating the Bobcats 5-1.

The Storm gained a one goal lead less than 10 minutes into the contest when Shelby Meade rifled a shot from outside the 18 yard box, sailing the ball over the head of Bobcats’ goalie Ashley Matthews.

George recorded her first goal of three in the contest with 9:48 left in the first half.

30 seconds later, the Storm’s third goal came as Cearah DeCostaFaro carried the ball down the left side of the field and let go a pass in the direction of her goal. The crossing ball found teammate George, who settled it before ripping a shot that found the back of the net.

UV took the 3-0 lead into the halftime intermission but decided they weren’t done scoring.

DeCostaFaro and George connected again, just four minutes into the second half of play. George’s final goal of the contest put the host Storm ahead by four.

The Bobcats’ lone goal came from a free kick awarded to B-G. Matraca Harmon fired a low line-drive ball. Her shot tapped the post and went past UV goalie Meegan White.
