Norwich 95, Whitney Point 74
NORWICH – Senior Savanna Keator crept up closer to the 200-yard freestyle record, and Norwich eased past Whitney Point for its second meet win of the season Tuesday.
Keator fell just eight hundreths of a second short off the school mark winning the 200 in 2:03.24. She also won the 100-yard freestyle, and teammates Makenzie Williams, Haley Chwazik-Gee, and Lauren Fitch had victories. “The girls swam really well, and we put them into different events to see their time,” said Norwich coach Amanda Downey. “We’ve been pushing Savanna really hard in the 200, and she wants that record really bad.”
Williams captured the 200 individual medley, Fitch the one-meter diving competition, and Gee grabbed a win in the 100 breaststroke. Norwich (2-1) is at Sus Valley Friday.

Colin Bigart scored CV’s initial goal, one of four different players to find the Norwich net.

Greene 3, Oxford 0
GREENE – Greene scored all of its goals over the final 19 minutes to defeat a dangerous Oxford club on Tuesday. “They scare the heck out of me, and their forwards (Haley Witchella and Amanda Brown) are so fast,” said Greene coach Randy smith. “That’s a competent team.”
Liz Wentlent scored the first of her two goals after a Megan McDermott cornerkick at 19 minutes, then headed in another McDermott corner with five minutes left. McDermott completed the scoring with 2 1/2 minutes remaining.
“We concentrated on limiting their offensive opportunities, and the defensive play of Amanda Weeks and Chelsea Pornbeck on Witchella and Brown was huge the whole game,” Smith said.
Greene (3-1-1, 3-3-1) is at Unatego Thursday.
Summary
(0-0 at half)
Goals-assists: (G) Liz Wentlent, 2-0, Megan McDermott, 1-2.

Franklin 3, G-MU 2 (OT)
COPES CORNERS – Franklin rallied from a one-goal halftime deficit, and Lily Stalter put in her second and third goals of the game in overtime to give the Purple Devils a tight win over the Raiders Tuesday.
G-MU led at halftime on the strength of Courtney Hillman’s unassisted goal. “We battled all the way and we had one letdown,” said G-MU coach Kristen Bradbury. “Our intensity and aggressiveness was better than any game we have played this year.”
