Norwich 212, Maine-Endwell 219

PLYMOUTH – Norwich’s Gabe Leibundgut picked the perfect time to make his score count.

Leibundgut, who has played in five of Norwich’s six matches, shot a match-low 39 over the front nine at Canasawacta Country Club to lead the Tornado to its fourth win of the season. It was the first time this season in which Leibundgut’s score counted toward the final team total. “Bogey golf is what we expect from Gabe, so for him to shoot 39 was certainly huge,” said Norwich coach Bob Branham. “It was the difference for us in this match.”

Jacob Kelly and Eric Walling came in with 42s for Norwich (4-2), Ryan Hagen was next at 44, and Frank Somich posted a 45.

Hamilton 0, S-E 0 (OT)

HAMILTON – Hamilton advanced to the finals of its own tournament in a penalty-kick shootout Thursday, its second win over the Marauders this season.

Hamilton’s Jack Sullivan converted the winning penalty kick giving his team a 4-3 edge. The teams played to a scoreless tie through regulation and two overtimes, and the final result will go into the record books as a tie.

“They certainly had the better offensive opportunities,” said S-E coach Mike Rodriguez, who noted the Emerald Knights hit the goalpost crossbar twice. “One of the things we’ve been doing is countering a lot. We forced them to shoot outside, and the shots we gave up were saveable.”

The Marauders play DeRuyter Saturday at 2:30 p.m. in the tournament’s consolation game.
