S-E can’t capitalize on offensive opportunities in 2-1 loss to New York Mills

GREENE – The Lady Trojans Field Hockey team snagged a 4-0 shut out win over Deposit/Hancock Wednesday night as Greene’s head coach Christine Battaglini hosted the annual Senior Night game under the lights.

Prior to the start of the league contest between the Eagles and the host Trojans’ Battaglini honored Bri and Brooke Austin, Madison Rice and Sara White for their dedication to the program over the years as the four will graduate in June of 2020.

Once the special recognition was over, Greene got focused on the task at hand – defeating Deposit/Hancock in front of the home crowd.

A stalemate in the first half of play, the Trojans’ Jess Unkel took over in the second as she scored back-to-back goals to give her team 2-0 lead.

Unkel’s first score came from a pass by Alex Brown with just under 23 minutes remaining in the contest.

After both team’s couldn’t put a ball into the cage for the first 47 minutes of action, Unkel needed just two and half minutes after her first to record her second of the game. This time, the ball was delivered to her Olivia Kennedy.

With the 2-0 lead and all the momentum on their side, Greene added another two insurance goals – both coming on assists from Unkel to return the favor from her goals.
