The Cherry Valley-Springfield
boys soccer team improved to 3-0
with a 2-1 Tri-Valley victory at
Worcester Tuesday.
``The game wasn’t as close as
the score might indicate,’’ said CVS
head coach Terri Adams. ``We
had numerous chances to score
and controlled the ball on our end
most of the game. Hopefully, we’ll
start converting those chances.’’
The Patriots took a 1-0 lead on a
first half goal from Jake Hoag, and
Brian Panzeri headed home a cross
from Elliott See midway through
the second half before Worcester
scored its lone goal with less than
10 minutes remaining. See assisted
both goals, and CV-S outshot
Worcester 18-3.
The Patriots won the Edmeston
Tournament last weekend for the
second straight year last weekend,
defeating Morris 3-0 in the final
after a physical, 1-0, victory over
Davenport in the first round Friday.
Tournament Most Valuable
Player Chip Taylor scored a second
half goal for the Patriots in the
championship game after David
Adams scored the only goal of the
first half.
``Chip was very strong in transition,
and really any of those boys
on the all-tournament team could
have been the MVP,’’ Adams added.
David Adams and defender
Jake Hanlon also were named All
Stars.
Against Davenport, senior forward
Mike Cagganello scored CVS’s
lone goal after Taylor’s close
shot rebounded off the Wildcats’
goalie, right to Cagganello in front
of the net with just over 12 minutes
remaining in the game.
CV-S head coach Terri Adams
credited her defense with keeping
Davenport out of the scoring column
Friday, and said she saw offensive
improvement in Saturday’s
contest.
The Patriots host Morris today
(Thursday) in a Tri-Valley contest
and travel to Schenevus Monday.
Both the boys and girls will host
a tournament Sept. 12 and 13.
