S-E 5, Hamilton 0
SHERBURNE – Sherburne-Earlville scored four goals within a four-minute span in the final 10 minutes of its shutout victory over Hamilton Monday.
Karli Harris scored the first of her two goals deflecting a Courtney Kurtz pass into the cage just five minutes into the second half. The contest remained a one-goal difference until Kurtz started a four-goal barrage at the 9:48 mark and ended at 5:56.
“I was telling the girls that the one-goal lead wasn’t enough,” said S-E coach Sheila Cooman in recounting a second-half timeout. “Anything can happen in field hockey, and Hamilton has a fast team. All they needed to do was sneak by one time.”
Samantha Crandall and Amanda Morgan added S-E goals, who improved to 3-1-1 overall. The Marauders host Morrisville-Eaton Wednesday.

S-E 3, Sauquoit Valley 1
SAUQUOIT – After a slow start to the season, the Marauders continued their upswing winning at Sauquoit Valley Monday.
Tied with the Indians at halftime, Nolan Fuller followed in a shot that caromed off the goalie and tucked away the go-ahead goal at the 21-minute mark. “The last few games we have been able to generate more scoring opportunities, and it’s just been a matter of finishing,” said S-E coach Mike Rodriguez. “We finished enough today, but there have been other games where we could have easily scored six or seven goals.”
Gabe Fowler and Tom Pudney added tallies for the Marauders (4-2-2), who play at Canastota Wednesday.
