Greene advances to section finals; Oxford falls in overtime
Greene 3, Vestal 1
GREENE – Greene will look for its first Section IV field hockey title since the 2002 season after beating Vestal Tuesday afternoon.
The Trojans upended the Golden Bears for the third time this season, and will match up with Whitney Point at 6 p.m. Friday at Oneonta State. Greene (13-3) has two wins over the Golden Eagles in the regular season.
“Vestal played us tough, and at this point in the season, you’re hoping to get a good game,” said Greene coach Sue Carlin.
Megan Boeltz scored off a penalty corner at the 9:47 mark of the first half getting a feed from Christine Conroe. Sara Ostrander netted the eventual winner in the second half, although Vestal created a dent in the margin scoring two minutes after Ostrander’s tally. Holly Davis tacked on an insurance goal later in the half. “I think our kids came up with big plays tonight when we needed them, both offensively and defensively,” Carlin said.

Tioga 1, Oxford 0 (OT)
OXFORD – Tioga struck quickly in overtime, and ended Oxford’s season Tuesday afternoon.
Following an Oxford foul, Kari Walkley made a short pass to the right wing, and Jesse Robinson hammered in a hard shot from just inside the right side of the penalty circle. The shot was partially deflected by Oxford goalie Christine Brussell, but hopped over her outstretched pad into the back of the cage just 35 seconds into the period.
It was one of the few legitimate scoring opportunities for the visiting club, who came in as the lower-seeded club. “It was just a really good shot,” said Oxford coach Jenny Davis. I felt we outplayed them most of the game and had a number of opportunities, we just didn’t find the cage.”
Tioga keeper Emily Tholen aggressively stoned Oxford’s offensive progressions coming up with six saves for the shutout win. “We knew this could be a really tough game, and it was,” Davis said.
Oxford finishes 16-3-1.
