DRYDEN — State-ranked Dryden rallied with
a pair of second-half goals to edge Waverly, 2-1, here Thursday
afternoon in crossover IAC girls soccer action.
Dryden, ranked second in Class B, improves to 12-0 on season, while Waverly falls to 9-4.
"I was very pleased with the team's performance," said Waverly coach Brian Myers. "What an excellent game to watch.
"I really thought the game could have gone either way as both teams just laid it all out on the field.
"It's
a great confidence-builder for the girls as we get closer to sectional
play," added Myers. "To be able to compete at that level, I couldn't be
more proud of the girls."
After a scoreless first half, freshman
Elle Nittinger scored 27 seconds into the second half off a feed from
Emiley Myers to give Waverly a 1-0 lead.
Just 56 seconds later, Dryden's Keri Daley scored an unassisted goal to tie the game at 1-1.
