TRUMANSBURG – After 100 minutes of play couldn’t determine a winner between the Greene Trojans and the Trumansburg Blue Raiders, the two teams sent five of their best shooters and the goalkeepers to the end line for a penalty kick shoot out.
The Blue Raiders’ goalie Richard Prosser turned away three of the four shots – including one with his legs on the second shot attempt – taken by the Trojans’ players while his teammates were able to put four into the back of the net, securing a spot into the Section IV Class C championship game Wednesday.
Scoring the lone penalty kick for Greene was Alec Frair, still giving his team hope at the moment. However, the hopes were dashed as the fourth penalty kick went into the goal.
Trumansburg earned the first lead in the game when Will Pritchard sent a through ball to teammate Conor Baird, who then turned and fired a shot past the posts.
Greene, however, said not so fast as just three minutes later, Trenton Rapp tallied one for the Trojans and tied the game at 1-1.
The score went into the halftime break tied at one goal apiece.
The Trojans took a 2-1 lead when Ashton Craver sent a ball past Prosser just nine minutes into the second half of the sectional semifinal contest and it was an advantage Greene held onto for the most of the second half.
With 12 minutes remaining, Trumansburg’s Joseph Morpurgo tallied the equalizer as he drilled a shot by Green’s Nick Shoemaker.
The two teams finished regulation with the 2-2 tie still intact, sending the game into extra minutes of soccer and it was almost as if it was a flashback from the 2018 semifinal matchup.
With the game a year earlier going into overtime after the Blue Raiders nor the Trojans scored in regulation. Trumansburg scored a game-winner with a quick-play free kick attempt that sailed into the net with six minutes left in the game.
Nearly 12 months later, One of the two needed to once again net a goal to end it but with the first 10 minute overtime period coming to a close, neither were able to score.
Another 10 minutes were added to the clock but no goals were scored, resulting in the shootout win for the host Trumansburg.
