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.
