Dryden Grils Soccer vs SCCC 10/27/2012 - From Coach Bennett

Dryden ends it season with a 15-2 record losing to Seton Catholic today by a score of 3-1.  Drydens Leighann Bennett scores their lone goal which was her career 100th goal in the loss.  Dryden opened the scoring 6 minutes into the game as Leighann scored on a direct kick from approx.  30 yards out.  Seton answered 8 minutes later to tie it and went ahead 2-1 before half.  "It really was a game of halves today.  Seton dominated the first half out shooting Dryden 9-3 but in the second half it was reveresed as Dryden outshot Seton 6-2.  "We had our opportunities and didnt capitalize and a few bad breaks was the difference"  We are a team that plays 7 starters who are 14 years old or younger.  We are proud of our success and we will mature together.  Getting these experiences at this young age just means great things for us in the future."  Leighann ending her career landing a milestone of 100 goals is fantastic.  SHe is a 6x iac all star and a 2x player of the year for the league.  THe only thing better for her would have been to make it to that next game"

 

Dryden Boys Soccer - 10/26 vs Oneonta - From Coach Engel

We played our best game of the year. Jack scored in the first half and he held that score until about 24 seconds left in the game. The ball was sent deep into our box and we were there with an Oneonta player. The ball happened to bounce right back to him and he put it in to tie the game at 1. They then scored 1 minute into overtime to win it. It was a free kick from about 45 yards out. He served it looking for a deflection, but it ended up in the goal surprising everyone.

We played with passion and heart. This was by far the best we played. We went at them and had several chances to get the second goal, but it just did not happen. Gabi Guisado hit the crossbar and we went wide just wide a couple times. Mike Harvey was giving them problems up top all game. Jake Czapranski and Greg Nostrand were awesome at central Midfield and our wide midfield worked the lines very effectively in John Whitmore, Time Lewis, Ben Lewis, John Czapranski, Joe DeLucia and Jake Soroka. Our Defense Randy Bushnell, Peri Hayes, Jonathan Becker, and Ross Cole just shut down the gaps and cleared the lose balls with Haile Cutter scooping up the balls that got through. We were very dangerous, but it was not to be. I am proud of this team as they gave it all they had.

Victorious start for Purple Lions

Cortland Standard

DRYDEN — It was a step closer towards another team goal for the Bennett Sisters and their talented teammates as Dryden High advanced to the Section 4 Class B soccer tournament semifinal round Wednesday night with a 2-0 victory over Chenango Forks at Tompkins Cortland Community College.
Already winners of a coveted Interscholastic Athletic Conference Large School Division overall crown, the high-scoring siblings will lead the third-seeded Purple Lions (15-1) in their continued quest for a sectional title against second-seed Binghamton Seton Catholic (10-3-1) — a 2-1 overtime winner over seventh-seed Newark Valley — this Saturday in the Binghamton area.
Other Class B quarterfinal round winners were top-seed Oneonta (13-2), 11-0 over eighth-seed Chenango Valley, and fourth-seed Waverly (13-1-2), a 2-0 victor over fifth-seed Whitney Point.
In Class D first round action, 10th-seed South Kortright (10-4-3) upset seventh-seed Schenevus 1-0 to advance to the quarterfinal round Saturday. Second-seed Marathon (10-5) will host South Kortright Saturday at a time to be announced.

DRYDEN — Greg Nostrand scored a pair of goals to send Dryden High boys into the Section 4 Class B soccer tournament semifinal round.
Nostrand scored once in the first half, but it was the game-winner with 13 minutes left in the match that got the third-seeded Purple Lions past visiting sixth-seed Union Springs 2-1 and into the next round. Dryden (10-4-1) will travel to second-seed Oneonta (10-2) Friday for a 3:30 p.m. match.
“We came out very strong and moved the ball extremely well,” Dryden coach Laszlo Engel said. “We held on for the win. We played well and Union Springs did not give up. The weather certainly influenced the game as both teams had difficulties staying on their feet and the ball skipped and slid a lot.”
Clinging to the 1-0 halftime lead in this match-up of Interscholastic Athletic Conference foes, Dryden tried to maintain its advantage only to have Union Springs score the equalizer five minutes into second-half action. Ilsias Vasquez found the net to tie the match at 1-1 for the Wolves.
The Purple Lions continued to attack. Mike Harvey sent a shot towards the Union Springs goal. The ball deflected and Nostrand got a foot on the ball and placed into the net for the winning margin.
Dryden held a 21-3 advantage in shots, but Wolves goalkeeper Cody Halverson kept his team in the match with 11 saves. Haile Cutter made two saves for Dryden.
l In Class D boys play, second-seed and IAC Small School overall champion Marathon (14-2) will host 10th-seed Roxbury Friday in a 3:30 p.m. quarterfinal match. Roxbury’s Rockets advanced Tuesday with a 1-0 upset victory over seventh-seed Davenport (9-5-2).
IN SECTION 4 GIRLS’ PLAY —
Dryden High gets going in the Class B tournament today at 3:30 p.m. The third-seeded Purple Lions (14-1), fresh off a victory over Elmira Notre Dame to win the overall IAC Large Schoolcrown, will host sixth-seed Chenango Valley (5-6-2).

Dryden girls soccer boosted by Bennett sisters - Taylor, Leighann assist on each other's goals in shutout

Ithaca Journal

The Bennett sisters took care of the offense for Dryden, both scoring and assisting on the other’s goal in the second half, as the Dryden girls soccer team scored a 2-0 victory over Chenango Forks on Wednesday in a Section 4 Class B first-round match.
The game was moved to Tompkins Cortland Community College’s artificial turf field, due to unplayable conditions at Dryden High following the boys’ sectional game on Tuesday.
Freshman Taylor Bennett broke the scoreless tie seven minutes into the second half, scoring off a direct kick by her sister, senior Leighann. Leighann added some insurance by converting a cross from her younger sister with 22:05 to play.
Leighann Bennett’s goal was the 99th of her career, while Taylor’s was her 33rd of the season, pulling her to within one of Dryden’s single-season record — which is held by Leighann.
Alyssa Patte made four saves to earn the win for the Purple Lions, who outshot Forks, 15-6. The Blue Devils had a 6-4 edge in corners.
Sierra Torillo made five saves for Forks, which finishes with a 5-7-2 record.
Third-seeded Dryden will visit Seton Catholic Central on Saturday in the quarterfinals.

Nostrand scores twice to lift Dryden in boys soccer - Senior sends Dryden to Class B Semifinals

Ithaca Journal

DRYDEN — Bring together two division foes on a muddy field, one looking to make a deep playoff run and another with nothing to lose, top it off with a bit of cold weather mixed in with 80 minutes of driving rain, and what you get is the quintessential playoff soccer game.
That’s exactly what a brave handful of fans were treated to Tuesday afternoon when Dryden hosted Interscholastic Athletic Conference Large North division opponent Union Springs in a Section 4 Class B first-round boys game.
Senior midfielder Greg Nostrand struck each side of halftime to extend his high school career for at least a couple more days and hand the third-seeded Purple Lions a 2-1 decision for their third victory over the sixth-seeded Wolves this season.
“We came out and played really well in the first half and only got one goal,” said Dryden coach Laszlo Engel. “Their goalkeeper played well and they packed in their defense a little bit, but we had opportunities that we just missed too. When it’s raining like that it evens out the game a little bit, and credit Union Springs, they gave it to us in the second half.”
Dryden (10-4-1), which had beaten Union Springs (7-9) by a combined score of 6-0 in two regular-season meetings this year, created an abundance of chances in a dominant first half, but could not add to its lead after Nostrand’s opener inside of eight minutes played created by the senior’s hustle.
Following a through ball into the opposing box that ran a little too long, Nostrand did not give up on the play and pressured a Wolves defender looking to shield the ball as it rolled toward the sideline. His efforts paid off when he was able to shrug off the defender’s challenge and nick the ball right before it went out for a goal kick, and he did even better when he coolly slotted past Union Springs senior goalie Cody Halverson.
Nostrand could have opened the scoring a few minutes earlier, but he misstimed his kick when faced with an open goal following a rebound and could not make contact with the ball.
The Wolves were content to play on the counter-attack and got their equalizer six minutes after the restart. Following another spell of possession by the hosts, Union Springs won back the ball in its own half and after a few passes up field sent a long cross into the Dryden box. Lions junior goalie Cutter Haile did his best to collect the skipping ball but instead spilled it into the path of Wolves junior Ilsais Vasquez, who directed it to the back of the net.
Not long after the Wolves almost benefited from a slippery ball that the Dryden defense had trouble clearing, a cutback cross by Lions junior Michael Harvey bounced off a few players in the Union Springs box before rolling out to the feet of an onrushing Nostrand, whose hard low shot with 13:35 remaining propelled his team into the secound round.
“I thought both groups played extremely hard under some harsh conditions,” said Union Springs coach Jim Hodges. “In a game like that sometimes the ball is going to bounce your way and sometimes it bounced their way. I thought the Nostrand kid played an excellent game in the middle part of the field for them.”
The Purple Lions, who held the edge in shots (21-3) and corners (7-2), will travel Friday to second-seeded Oneonta (10-2), the Southern Tier Athletic Conference champion which had a first-round bye and has knocked Dryden out of the last three sectional tournaments.
“Hopefully we catch them on a lull and come out and really want it,” said Engel. “It’s always good to have to practice this time of year.”
Halverson finished with 11 saves for Union Springs, while Haile made two saves for Dryden.

Dryden girls top Notre Dame in overtime for IAC Large School title

Ithaca Journal

DRYDEN — The girls teams at Dryden and Elmira Notre Dame don’t get to face each other much these days. So they decided to treat fans to a little extra soccer in a renewal of their lost rivalry Saturday afternoon at Tompkins Cortland Community College.
It took a goal from freshman Taylor Bennett with just under two minutes left in the second 10-minute overtime period to give Dryden a 2-1 victory over the Crusaders in the Interscholastic Athletic Conference Large School championship game.
Bennett’s header off a corner kick sent the Purple Lions (14-1) to their first IAC title since 2005.
“It definitely took a lot of effort,” she said of the win. “I was very proud of my team. I feel like we played amazing and we deserved this.”
North Large School champion Dryden deprived the South champion Crusaders (13-2-1) of their first conference championship since 2004.
The teams had some memorable battles before the IAC was realigned in 2008. This contest added to that history.
“We always had incredible games with Notre Dame in year’s past and we haven’t gotten to see them in the last few years,” Dryden coach Janine Bennett said. “It wasn’t any surprise to me that we were going to have a tooth-and-nail type of game.”
The Bennett family was a big part of Saturday’s title. Janine is the mom of Taylor and Binghamton University-bound senior Leighann Bennett, who scored the Lions’ first goal off a well-placed direct kick with 16:36 remaining in the first half.
The combination of a brisk wind, a quick and bouncy artificial turf and stingy defensive teams made it tough for the offensive players. There were only 14 shots in the 100 minutes of soccer, with 10 of them by Dryden.
The score remained 1-0 until Notre Dame’s Rebecca Watts put a direct kick into the upper right corner of the net from about 30 yards away with 12:49 to go in regulation.
“I thought we played outstanding today,” Notre Dame coach Steve Weber said. “It’s not the best surface in the world for us to play on. I thought we made a lot of adjustments today.
“I’m real proud of the kids. I thought we played a good game.”
Those adjustments included lineup changes after two players were lost to injury for part of the game, including all-state defender Brittany Schutrum.
One of the Crusaders’ few defensive lapses came on the winning goal by Taylor Bennett, who headed in a perfect corner kick off the foot of Abigail Barr.
“We’ve been working on corner kicks a lot during our last few practices,” Taylor Bennett said. “It was just execution all the way. … I had a girl and I lost her as soon as I started my run. I felt like I was free.”
The Crusaders had allowed only seven goals coming into the contest, but Bennett’s winner exploited a weakness.
“We have trouble defending players like her on corners sometimes,” Weber said. “We were trying not to give up any corners at that point.”
Janine Bennett said her team was impacted by the wind and also uncharacteristically played a lot of long balls, following the Crusaders’ lead in that respect. She wanted to make sure the Bobcats played to their strengths in overtime.
“Coming into overtime the big talk was, ‘We’ve got to play our game. You’ve got to play our game, play it on the ground, play the way we practice,’” she said. “We have such a young team — I start six freshmen, I start a seventh-grader — for them to be able to take control, for them to be able to settle back into our game speaks well of them.”

Rookie SVE, Dryden girls join SVE, Lansing boys in chase for IAC titles

( Ithaca Times )

By Jesse Disbrow |

The Interscholastic Athletic Conference Championships are this weekend, with Lansing playing in the boys’ Large School Championship and Dryden playing in the girls’ Large School Championships.
The Dryden girls will be playing in the IAC championship for the first time in years after being blocked by a Lansing dynasty. Dryden took care of business this year, beating Lansing twice and falling only once during the season. The Purple Lions girls won last Thursday night at TC3 to clinch a playoff spot and won the IAC Large School North Division outright with a win the following day. Their victim on Thursday was Southern Cayuga who lost to the Lions 8-0. Taylor Bennett has three goals and one assist on the night, while sister Leighann Bennett had two goals. Abigail Barr assisted three goals and scored one herself. Friday’s win was a 5-1 game over Union Springs. The Bennetts each scored a goal, but it was Maggie Cole who led the team in scoring with two goals.
Dryden will take on Elmira Notre Dame at 1 p.m. at TC3 for their shot at an IAC title.
Lansing finished the year undefeated (15-0) in the regular season and will also be taking on Elmira Notre Dame at TC3 for an IAC title. END finished 12-2 in the IAC and 13-2 overall. The Bobcats are ranked second in the state and look to keep rolling right into the sectional playoffs.
Spencer-Van Etten’s boys will be battling for an IAC Small School title against their heated rival Marathon. As coach Matt Wigsten would say the road to a championship usually goes through Maraton.
The Panther girls are joining the rivalry, after collecting their first IAC division championship. They too will face Marathon, who actually ended with a losing overall record, but otherwise went undefeated in division. The Panthers finished 7-1 in division and 8-5 overall and could be considered the favorites in the match.
Other boys’ teams looking at sectional playoff berths are Trumansburg and Dryden. Lansing and Trumansburg will send teams for the girls, with Candor finishing just outside of eligibility, though final selection information will be available starting Wednesday, October 17.

10/02/2012 - Ithaca Journal



Sisters Leighann and Taylor Bennett each finished with two goals and two assists as the Dryden High girls soccer team took command of the Interscholastic Athletic Conference Large North Division with a 4-1 home victory over rival Lansing on Tuesday afternoon.
Leighann, a senior, opened the scoring just 62 seconds inoto the first half, and Taylor, a freshman, did almost the same in the second half, scoring two minutes after the restart. Both scored again in the second half before sophomore Shea McCartney scored the Bobcats’ lone goal from the penalty spot with two minutes remaining.
In the teams’ first meeting, Taylor scored a late second-half winner to hand the Lions (11-1) a 1-0 victory.
“Going into this game I really wanted the kids to focus on soccer,” said Dryden coach Janine Bennett, mother of Leighann and Taylor. “The battles between Lansing and Dryden over the past several years have been physical, and after our last victory I kept hammering home that it was a good win but not a good game. (Tuesday) Dryden played soccer. We executed our game plan and it showed.”
Both teams took two corners while Dryden held a 13-7 edge in shots. Lansing goalie Sarah Gisler made five saves and Alissa Patte made six saves for the Lions, who travel to Whitney Point on Thursday. Lansing (6-2-1) hosts Trumansburg on Thursday.
