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.
