S-E Tournament Finals

Sherburne-Earlville 1, McGraw 0

SHERBURNE – Sherburne-Earlville staved off McGraw’s second-half push to win the S-E Tournament Championship game Saturday night.

S-E put the only goal on the board with 8:57 left in the first half when Briana Vibbard sent a through pass to Bridget Irwin, who found the net on a shot to the lower right corner.

“This is a great momentum builder to start the season,” said S-E coach Kylie Davis. “We did everything well that we have been working on in practice.”

The Marauders advanced to the finals blanking Hamilton, 4-0, on Friday night.

Vibbard, who missed most of last season with an injury, had a hat trick, and Caitlynn Adams, who played the first half in goal, came out to score her first goal after a cornerkick from Jordan Van Althuis.

Vibbard, Irwin, Van Althuis, Rachael Bradley, and Kassie Lathrop were S-E players named to the all-tournament team, and Lathrop was selected as the Most Valuable Player.

“We played really well at the start of each half,” Davis said of the finals. “McGraw started to dominate at the end, but we were able to hold them off.”
