Boys’ Soccer
Norwich 3, Unatego 0
NORWICH – Playing in a steady downpour Wednesday afternoon, Norwich tallied three goals in the first half before play was halted due to poor field conditions.
Chris Trevisani, Sean Phelan, and Pablo Rojas had unassisted goals for the Purple Tornado (8-8), who will compete in the sectional soccer tournament next week. “We couldn’t play our normal balls, so we had to keep the ball out of the water,” said Norwich coach Scottie Decker, who said her players did a lot of juggling with the ball as players moved down the field.
Norwich’s appearance in the Class B soccer tournament will be its first in several years.

McKee scored when teammate Riley Howland split the Storm defense with a through ball to McKee, who fired a low shot into the corner of the goal. “We had multiple opportunities,” said UV coach Ryan Houck. “Their stout defense and the elements kept us off the score books.”
Unadilla Valley is idle until the Class C tourney next week.

Girls' Swimming
Norwich 98, Sherburne-Earlville 78
NORWICH - In a non-league meet with Sherburne-Earlville Wednesday, Norwich shuffled its lineup with great success capturing nine of 12 events in a 20-point victory.
Few swimmers for Norwich, said coach Kevin Diefenbacher, swam in their regular events. “It was a chance to get away from the events they’ll swim at sectionals, and to see how they do,” Diefenbacher said. “It was a nice break.”
Nicole Mealey and Maya Blaisure won two individual events apiece for Norwich. Others for the Purple to touch home with firsts were Melissa Stroh, Marybeth Ward, and Lauren Llewellyn.
S-E’s Liz Bachman won the 50 free, while Kiana Marshall took first in diving.
Norwich hosts Holland Patent Tuesday.
