Girl's Soccer: Huge Upset

There were four Patroon Conference girl's soccer games on Monday and the most interesting result was Coxsackie Athens knocking off previously unbeaten Greenville after trailing by two goals. That result puts ICC and MH in the lead now for the league title but being less than half way through the season means a lot can still happen. This loss by Greenville makes their home stand today against ICC even more crucial.

Maple Hill v. Chatham

Maple Hill came out and blew away the Panthers in Chatham on Monday 5-1. The Wildcats scored a pair of goals in the first half before adding three more in the second compared to the Panthers one.

Meeghan Arno scored 4 goals and Taylor Czajkowski added one in the win. Alyssa Keeler scored the Panthers lone goal.

The win keeps the Maple Hill girl's undefeated, with their only blemishes being a pair of draws. On Wednesday they will face Taconic Hills while the Panthers fall to 4-3 with losses to the top 3 teams. On Wednesday they will host Coxsackie Athens in a mach up that should go a long way in deciding who will finish higher in the final standings.

Greenville v. Coxsackie Athens

In by far the biggest upset of this young season the Indians rallied from a 2-0 first half deficit to take a 3-2 halftime lead before extending their lead and holding on for a 6-4 victory. The loss drops Greenville out of their first place tie while it pushes C-A into a tie for fourth place with Chatham who they play Wednesday. The Spartans look to earn back a share of first place on Wednesday as they host ICC in a major early season showdown.

After falling behind 2-0 the Indians rallied back to tie the game and then take the lead just before halftime thanks to a goal by Kelsey West. In the second half the Indians pushed the lead to two on a goal by Dannielle Chiudina. The Spartans fought back but could not close the gap entirely.

The Indians six goals were spread out amongst six different players with West, Chiunda, Brianna Blunck, Allison Brockett, Emily Proper and Elizabeth Salvino. Kelsey Lenney recorded an impressive 5 assists in the win while Blunck added one to go along with her goal. In the net Jenna Morse made 8 saves.

For Greenville Taylor Anne Young netted a hat trick while Michelle Shoenborn had the fourth goal. Abigail McQuillen and Bonnie Harvey split time in goal for the Spartans, combining for nine saves.

Hudson v. Taconic Hills

The Bluehawks earned their third win of the season after a 3-1 win of the Titans in Craryville. Hailey Hollenbeck a player I keyed in on early in the season scored two first half goals for Hudson while the Titans countered with a goal by Kylle Proper on a Hara Aoki-Saffer assist. In the second half Hudson capped their scoring when Elyse Reinckens scored.

The Titans will have a tough game today as they travel to Maple Hill while Hudson has a strong opportunity to get their fourth win when they take on Cairo Durham who comes in with just one win.

Ichabod Crane v. Catskill

The Riders remained undefeated while the Cats are still winless after a 6-0 contest on Monday. Next up for both teams is Greenville as the Riders travel there Wednesday and Catskill will head over on Friday.

Morgan Van Alstyne and Cassidy Lester each netted two goals for the Riders while Hailey Ooms and Shana Barry capped the scoring with one apiece.
