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.
