S-E scoring woes continue in 1-0 loss to Wildcats
NEW BERLIN – The Storm’s Dylan Nichols went into Tuesday’s soccer game against Walton on his home pitch needing one goal to tie the school’s goals scored record. Late in the first half, he found the back of the net to tie the record at 45 goals.
In the second half, he broke the record with his second goal and added another three to give him five goals scored on the night and 49 for his career as Unadilla Valley cruised to 6-0 victory over the Walton Warriors.
The Warriors, who have boasted a stout defense all season and who are led by standout goalie Kaiden Vernold, gave the Storm some early hiccups as getting quality shots off proved to be difficult.
Before too long, however, UV’s Devon Fairchild found himself firing a left-footed shot from 16 yards and watched it sail into the net past Vernold.
From there on out the floodgates opened for the Storm as Nichols went on to score five for the six goal shutout win for Unadilla Valley in front of their home crowd.
Nichols didn’t do it alone though, Fairchild connected with his senior teammate on the three of the five goals, bringing his assist total up to 10 for the season.
Also adding assists for the UV soccer club were sophomores Josh Meade and Drew Emrich. The Storm’s head coach Ryan Houck noted his team was anchored at defense by yet another standout performance from Danny Anderson, Caleb Parker, Cam Osborne and keeper Brandon Kneale.
Kneale stopped all six shots sent his direction, recording another shutout win this season.
Vernold ended with 11 saves for Walton.
Unadilla Valley head to for a Saturday matinee contest with Delhi at 1 p.m. Saturday.

SHERBURNE – The Marauders Soccer Club dropped to .500 league record for the season after falling to the Adirondack Wildcats 1-0 Tuesday afternoon. The loss hands S-E their first conference loss on their home pitch this year.
Adirondack’s Dawson Martin put the ball into the back of the net with his head after Mikhail Sokiloff served the direct kick. As the assisted ball went into the goal past John Oley – Sherburne-Earlville’s goalie – at the far post, the Wildcats took a 1-0 lead.
That was all the visiting team needed as the Marauders scoring woes continued.
“Our offense has been dominant in possession and in scoring opportunities in almost all of our league games,” said S-E’s head coach Michael Rodriguez. “Right now, we just can’t find the back of the net.”
Sherburne-Earlville outshot the Adirondack squad 8-3 in the contest and were award five more corner kicks than their opponent.
Oley ended the night with two saves, stopping the other two shots sent his way by the Wildcats.
