The next two goals came when Utter ran onto a loose ball insde the G-MU 18, beat a Raiders defender one-on-one, and scored past G-MU keeper Andrew Delmar. Utter completed his hat trick after a cornerkick. Utter gathered a loose ball when G-MU failed to clear the ball out of its defensive zone, and tucked the ball away.
“We had a few mistakes on our part, and they capitalized,” said Raiders coach Mark Luettger. “The good thing is that we were still playing hard and (our team) didn’t give up. That’s always a positive.”

Walton 4, Oxford 0
OXFORD – Oxford’s offense failed to score for the second time in as many games, and Walton pulled away with three goals in the second half.

Maine-Endwell 2, Norwich 0
NORWICH – Maine-Endwell solved a stingy Norwich defense in the second half getting a pair of goals from Caitlyn Cook Tuesday afternoon.
Cook scored 10 minutes into the second half getting a through ball from Keggan Griffith. Later on, Cook picked up a rebound after a missed shot, and scored unassisted.
“With the exception of the Johnson City game, we were in it for 50 or 55 minutes, but our endurance was lacking,” said Norwich coach Jeremy Bolton. “Everybody is finally healthy, and we finally had more than two substitutes. Maine-Endwell did dominate most of this game, but we played good, scrappy defense, and they didn’t get a lot of quality shots.”
Norwich (0-4) plays in the Oxford Tournament Friday and Saturday.
Summary
(0-0 at half)
Goals-assists: (ME) Caitlyn Cook, 2-0; Keggan Griffith, 0-1.
