G-MU 6, Roxbury 4

COPES CORNERS – G-MU regrouped after a poor first half to score five unanswered goals and win its third straight game.

Coming off back-to-back shutouts, the Raiders’ (6-8-1) recent run of success looked like it might be short-lived as they trailed 4-1 at halftime. “I was kind of disappointed by our first-half effort,” said G-MU coach Mark Luettger. “They must have listened to what I said (at halftime).”

Alex Schmidt cut the three-goal deficit to two, and junior Cody Hall scored three straight goals, the last for the lead at 21:03. Tim Sloan added an insurance goal with 16 minutes remaining. “We had a lot better effort to the ball and won more loose balls in the second half,” Luettger said. “And we didn’t make the same defensive mistakes.”

Oneonta 4, Norwich 0

NORWICH – Oneonta’s defense posted its second shutout of the Tornado Thursday on the Tornado’s senior recognition night.

Hannah Lawson had two goals for the Yellowjackets, and six different players had at least a goal or an assist. “Their defense is really strong, and I think that is why they have been winning games,” said Norwich coach Jeremy Bolton. “We moved the ball better against them, but we struggled any time we got to the 18. Offensively, they switch fields and move the ball around. They work well as a team and are well-coached.”

Norwich plays at Maine-Endwell Monday.
