SIDNEY – Unadilla Valley’s Dylan Nichols scored a goal of his own and assisted on another to propel the Storm to a 2-0 win over host Sidney Tuesday evening.
Devon Fairchild put the first score on the board for UV. Nichols found Fairchild with a ball that sailed through the Sidney defense and Fairchild fired it past the Warriors’ keeper.
Six minutes later, Nichols took advantage of a defensive miscue by Sidney. Nichols rifled a shot attempt off the post but followed his shot that was unable to be cleared by the Warriors.
His goal gave the Storm a two goal lead, all that was needed by UV to add another win to their record.
Storm keeper Brandon Kneale stopped all nine Sidney shots, picking up a shut out victory while teammates Cameron Osborne, Wyatt Grey, Tom Gillette and Caleb Parker displayed valiant defensive efforts according to head coach Ryan Houck.
With the win, the Storm improves to 6-7 overall and 2-4 in league play. The win also clinches Unadilla Valley’s first appearance in Section IV Class C tournament in four seasons. UV hosts Greene at 4:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon.
