Sectional Soccer: Mechanicville Wins Twice

Mechanicville 2   Voorheesville 1

Mechanicville led 1-0 at the break, extended their lead after intermission to 2-0 and held off the Blackbirds late to post the win in Class B.

Mechanicville keeper Brady O’Connor came up with a big save on a penalty kick in the first half and the home squad fed off of that, soon after striking for their first score on an Aiden Fitzgerald finish off a nice find by Graham Murphy.

Murphy gave Mechanicville a two-score cushion taking an Alex Shakow feed and splitting the posts for a second-half tally.

Voorheesville got on the board Angelo Filho connected, but the Mechanicville defense shut down the visitors attack the rest of the way to secure the “W”.

#3 Mechanicville moves to the semifinals and a matchup with #7 Broadalbin-Perth in Waterford on Tuesday at 5p.m. 

Mechanicville 3    LaSalle 0

Mechanicville ran out to a 3-0 lead by halftime and cruised from there to the quarterfinal win in Class B.

Tanner Eiseman, Gianna Pits and Emma Andrews all found the range with scoring strikes to lead the Mechanicville attack.

Mechanicville keeper Christina Bornt saved three shots and combined with the defense to post the shutout.

Top-seeded Mechanicville moves on to face #4 Greenville in the semifinal round.
