Norwich 6, Sidney 1
NORWICH – Norwich won its eighth straight match Wednesday afternoon moving one step closer to a STAC Central Division title.
Norwich honored its six senior players before the match, and all six players had a hand in the victory.
"We had some good wins at singles from Taylor (Stroh) and Makenzie (Maynard), and our first doubles team (Cohley Acenowr-Sam Gage) dominated a match against a team that was more troublesome the first time they played," said Norwich coach John Stewart.
At second singles, freshman Caroline Stewart picked up her second three-set win over Nicole Rajner. Seniors Kinsey Chase and Robyn Berger moved up to second doubles for the first time, and swept 6-0, 6-0 sets.
Norwich (9-1) hosts Chenango Forks Monday.

Seton Catholic Central 11, Norwich 0
BINGHAMTON – Norwich gave up an own goal to start the game, and it went downhill from there as the Tornado suffered its most lopsided loss of the season Wednesday.
Genna Michitti had four goals for the Saints, recently ranked the number two Class C team in New York. "They're a high quality team, and their subs were high quality players," said Norwich coach Adam Sprague. "I'd be surprised if they are not challenging for a state title. (Seton Catholic Central) is by far the best team we have played this year."
