Owego 4, Norwich 2
NORWICH – Norwich's second-half rally came up short as Owego scored two goals within a three-minute span in Monday's contest.
Norwich trailed by two goals at the break, but drew within a single tally when Michaela Fazio drilled an 18-yard free kick past the Owego keeper.
Norwich tied it with 15 minutes left on defender Megan Mirabito's 40-yard shot. Mirabito pushed up from her normal spot on the field and hit a shot just over the Owego keeper's head.
Three minutes later, Lauren Wilson put the Indians back on top. "I think they caught us a little too excited after we tied the game," said Norwich coach Adam Sprague. "We did make a great comeback, and except for a five-minute span after we tied the game, I felt we really dominated the second half."
Wilson later converted an insurance goal on a penalty kick following a Norwich foul in the penalty box.
Norwich hosts Windsor Wednesday.

Greene 4, Windsor 1
GREENE – Greene is making big strides at the right time of the year.
A week removed from a win over Maine-Endwell and a close, competitive game with Whitney Point, the Trojans powered past a strong Windsor club Monday evening.
Abby Sands scored six minutes into the game, and Gina Lobdell gave Greene a two-goal cushion just three minutes later. "We're getting better, and we have some tough games coming up this week," said Greene coach Sue Carlin of upcoming matchups with Maine-Endwell and Whitney Point. "We have to get better, and those types of games will make you better."
Lobdell scored two goals, the latter after a nice pass from senior Tiffany Borst. Eighth-grader McKenna Sergi added one goal and one assist. "I thought our defense played very well," Carlin said. "When (Windsor) did get it in our circle, we were very clean getting it out of there."
Greene plays at Maine-Endwell Wednesday at 7 p.m.
