Unadilla Valley 4, Oxford 4

NEW BERLIN – Unadilla Valley lost a two-goal halftime lead, but scored in the final seconds to earn a tie with Oxford Wednesday.

Trailing the Storm 3-1 at halftime, Oxford’s Chris Parks scored a pair of second-half goals to spearhead the comeback, the latter goal coming at 32:20 to push the Blackhawks in front.

Raffi Perry took a cross from Andy Hayes and redirected into the net with seven seconds left to salvage the deadlock for UV. “Sometimes a two-goal lead is tough to hold on to,” said Storm coach Matt Osborne. “I don’t think we played with the intensity we needed in the second half, but I have to give our guys credit for tying the game.”
