Norwich, Point fit to be tied

Boys’ Soccer

Norwich 0, Whitney Point 0

NORWICH – In a battle of winless teams Thursday, Norwich and Whitney Point failed to solve the goal-scoring riddle in a scoreless tie Thursday on Norwich’s turf field.

The Tornado had the game’s best scoring opportunity drawing a penalty kick at 34:15 of the first half. Whitney Point keeper, Jake Keenan, guessed right and saved the shot attempt of Norwich junior Jason Woodard. “We had the better of the play in the first half, but our shots were not of great quality,” said Norwich coach John McCumiskey. “They had a few more chances in overtime, and in the long run, the tie is probably a justified ending.”

Greene 6, Owego 0

GREENE – Greene showed not let up after its biggest win of the season rushing to a 4-0 halftime lead in a blowout of Owego Thursday.

Christine Conroe tallied just 1:12 into the game, and was one of six different Trojans goal scorers. Finding the cage with their first career goals were Stephanie Stahl, Rachel Turner, and eighth-grader Emily Conroe. Anna Crumb and Andrea Day added to the scoring barrage.

“We knew we could not take Owego lightly, and they have a better team this year,” said Greene coach Sue Carlin. “We just played very well today.”
