Byron-Bergen 1   Stillwater 0   OT

In a scoreless match through two halves of play, Byron-Bergen’s Mia Gray drilled the game -winner just 32 seconds into the first overtime giving Bees the victory and the Class C state title on Sunday in Cortland.

Stillwater keepers Ally Liamero and Miranda Price made several outstanding saves in the match and combined with the Stillwater defense to keep Byron-Bergen, (21-1- 1), off the board through regulation, before Gray, in the extra session, carried the ball to open space and connected giving the Bees sudden victory and their first state title in program history.

Stillwater, (19-2-1), finishes a remarkable season with Section and Regional titles as well as state runner-up.

Stillwater 2 Cincinnatus 1

Despite being outshot 13-4 in the match, Stillwater made their opportunities count connecting once in each half, and their defense held off Cincinnatus in a state Class C girls soccer semifinal on Saturday.

Late in the first half Stillwater grabbed a 1-0 advantage when Brooke Coon cleaned up a deflected ball in front, and the game went into the break with the top-ranked Class C team in the state holding the one score lead.

In the 75th minute Stillwater extended their cushion when Brooke Hodgson connected off an Ashley Coffer find for the 2-0 advantage.

But Cincinnatus wouldn’t go quietly, responding 26 seconds later when Payton Landers converted an open look from inside the box cutting the deficit in half at 2-1.

From there Stillwater’s defense, as they have all season-long closed the door sending the 19-1-1 squad onto the Class C championship match on Sunday and a meeting with Section V champ Byren-Bergen.
