Greene eyes 5th straight section title
While every other classification in every other sport has been off competing in the Section IV playoffs, Greene has waited – not idly – for its turn.
The Trojans, defending Section IV and New York State Class A field hockey champions, will play for the first time since an Oct. 21 overtime win over Sidney when they square off with Vestal for the Section IV title, Saturday night on its home field at 7 p.m.
Greene (15-0) won last year’s title game against Vestal, 6-0, for a fourth straight championship. It was a two-team, winner-take-it-all playoff scenario last year, just like this season. “I think, ideally, we’d want to playing all along,” said Greene head coach Sue Carlin, referring to a sectional playoffs where her team would play one or two games before reaching the finals. “We’re making the best of the situation, and trying to mix things up a little bit. There’s nothing more that we can do. We’re in the final, the girls are handling it well, and they’re as anxious to play as I am.”
The Trojans, after breezing through the first two-thirds of their schedule, endured their toughest tests down the stretch. They trailed in two contests, and needed the aforementioned extra minutes to dispatch Sidney.
In the next-to-last game of the season, Greene defeated the Golden Bears 4-1 as Andrea Day had a hat trick. It was a much-improved performance for Vestal, who fell behind 4-0 in the first half to Greene in the first meeting this season en route to a 5-0 loss. Jahna Driscoll had the hat trick in that game ≠– three of her team-high 30 goals this season.
“They’re a good team and they’ll come in to play to win,” Carlin said. “They played a lot more solid this last time than the first time we played them. They have a lot of good players, and we’ll have to be ready and play our top game against them.”
To the victor of Saturday’s contest goes the spoils of a locally-based first-round intersectional playoff Greene. Greene’s George Raymond Field will host the Section IV versus Section III regional semifinals game on Tuesday, Nov. 9. “We’re definitely confident playing on our home field,” Carlin said. “To play in front of the home crowd is certainly a big plus, too.”
