Schoharie 3 Waterford 2: In a see-saw battle between #1 Waterford and #2 Schoharie in Mechanicville Tuesday night, the second-seeded Indians twice, took a one goal lead, only to see Waterford quickly erase the cushion. The third time was the charm.

Schoharie’s Katie Krohn connected with 12:00 remaining for a 3-2 advantage and the Indians defense kept the Fordians off the board the rest of the way, to seal the victory and earn the Class C girls soccer championship.

Haley Drinon opened the scoring in the match, 10 minutes in, taking a feed from Krohn and finding the back of the net for a 1-0 Indian lead.

Waterford answered on a Cassidy McClement tally and the two squads went to the break knotted at 1-1.

Three minutes after intermission, Krohn connected off a feed from Drinon, giving Schoharie the 2-1 advantage.

But again Waterford answered, when Natalie Rich cashed in a McClement find to deadlock things midway through the half.

With 12 minutes left in regulation, Krohn delivered the game-winner, her second of the match and 67th goal of the year, and the Indians defense nursed the one goal cushion to the “W”, securing the championship, and sending Schoharie onto regional play where they’ll face Ausable Valley from Section VII on Saturday.

The young Fordians close out an exceptional season with an 18-1 mark.
