NORWICH – Coming off a home tournament championship last weekend, Norwich entered STAC competition Thursday, and came away with a sweep of Chenango Forks, 25-18, 25-12, 25-19.
Courtney Scheer served a team-high 8 aces; six-footer Meg Komendarek delivered 12 kills, Caitlyn Brown set nine assists, while Lauren Laughlin and Vanessa Salerno led the defense with four digs and three stuff blocks respectively.

"It's just plain teamwork," said Norwich coach Shelly Alger in summing up her team's success. "There is no 'me, me, me.' It's all about what is the best set and what is the best attack. They've worked hard all summer to accomplish what they've accomplished."

Greene 3, Unadilla Valley 1
NEW BERLIN – Down 1-0 early, defending MAC champion Greene fought back with three unanswered goals.
Greene tied the game with under a minute left in the first half when Ben Kinney connected on a deflection off a free kick. Kinney then gave his club the lead for good scoring with 12 minutes left in regulation. Kevin Halsteter added insurance tallying his first goal of the year with four minutes to go
“We were not used to playing with the lead against a team the caliber of Greene,” said UV coach Ryan Houck. “We made some mental and style-of-play mistakes. It was a good learning experience as a loss, and we should grow stronger and better from here.”
Thomsen scored in the first half - his third goal in two games - heading in a cornerkick.

B-G 5, Oxford 0
BAINBRIDGE – Bainbridge-Guilford posted its second shutout win of the week Thursday beating Oxford.
Bobcats assistant coach Devon Rivera was returning to college after Thursday's game, and his impending departure likely sparked the Bobcats' attack, said head coach Pete Feltham. "I think a lot of (how we played) had to do with rallying around Devon," Feltham said. "He was nice to have as an assistant."
Five different B-G players scored goals, and eight players had either a goal or an assist.
Trevor Halaquist figured in three goals finishing with one goal and two assists. Kyle Hanvey, Dakota Johnson, Zach Smith, and Ryan Jones also scored.
B-G hosts Unatego Tuesday.

Sauquoit Valley 4, Sherburne-Earlville 3
SHERBURNE – A lineup adjustment after halftime sparked the S-E offense Thursday as the Marauders nearly made up a three-goal deficit.
Max Britton and Devin Crandall had one goal and one assist for S-E, and Tyler Rodriguez also scored.
Crandall assisted on Britton's second-half goal, and Rodriguez bent in an outside shot for the other tally. "We put some speed up top on offense," said S-E coach Mike Rodriguez. "That made a difference, it opened things up for us, and it forced Sauquoit to respect our offense."
S-E hurt itself defensively in the first half with some poor positioning, but straightened out those problems at intermission, and held SV scoreless the final 40 minutes. "The defense is starting to understand what we're trying to do, and getting the system we are trying to play," Rodriguez said.
S-E hosts Holland Patent Monday.
Summary

Norwich 218, Johnson City 230
PLYMOUTH – Norwich evened its match record at 2-2 on the season beating Johnson City Thursday afternoon at Canasawacta Country Club.
Playing the par-36 front nine, Norwich sophomores Ryan Johnson and Joe Mioduszewski led the Tornado linksters shooting 40 and 42 respectively. Sophomore Nate Scheer was next at 43, Alex Gage carded a 46, and seventh-grader Kai Scheer notched a 47.
It was Norwich's first match in a week, and while the ball striking was solid, the short game was a struggle, said head coach Dave Branham. "We're a very good ball striking team," Branham said. "The difference from us being an okay team and becoming a very good team is getting it up and down more around the green."
Norwich hosts Susquehanna Valley Monday.
Results
