Greene 4, Walton 2
GREENE – Greene snapped out its early funk to score four unanswered goals and rally to defeat Walton in its opening game Tuesday.
Trent Wood put two goals on the board for the Warriors within the first 20 minutes of the game. Ryan Utter scored the first of his three goals on a penalty to draw Greene within one goal at the 32 1/2-minute mark. About five minutes later, he scored unassisted to tie the game.
Mark Day put the Trojans ahead for good off a Pat Daniels feed. “I was impressed with what I saw from Walton,” said Greene coach Rick Tallman. “We did it to ourselves (falling behind) by coming out flat. We had to work back and I thought we pretty much possessed the ball and took control of the game in the second half.”
Greene plays at Sidney Sept. 5.

Sept. 5 vs. Sidney (A)
Unadilla Valley 4, B-G 0
NEW BERLIN – Although B-G had a fair amount of possession time and plenty of shots, the Storm did more with their opportunities and had better scoring opportunities in a season-opening win Tuesday.
Raffi Perry accounted for all of UV’s goals finishing with a hat trick, while also assisting on Mike Bluy’s goal. Derek Schoonover made 14 saves – a couple from close range – to earn the shutout. “They maybe possessed the ball more than we did, but we were aggressive when we had a chance to finish, and we had better scoring opportunities.”
