Sherburne-Earlville 2, Canastota 1 (OT)

SHERBURNE – It was a far cry from S-E’s 6-0 opening-game victory over Canastota.

Karli Harris scored with 42 seconds left in regulation to extend the game into overtime, and a Harris crossing pass to Courtney Kurtz ended in the winning goal 3 1/2 minutes into the extra period.

“They have improved a lot, and I told the kids it’s usually tougher the second time you play someone,” said S-E coach Sheila Cooman. “They had us backed up in our circle for a long time in the first half, and I was happy to get away with a 0-0 score.”
