VARSITY GIRLS SOCCER

After Thursday’s win over John Jay, GSOC kept their game faces on

Saturday for a home rematch against Mahopac, which stayed on script and repeatedly shot long balls to its capable forwards; but Greeley’s defensive four of Erica Rosendorf, Fiona Brown, Carly Elbaum and Avery Schwartz stayed on ball and denied passing lanes.

GSOC only needed a couple opportunities and six minutes in, Ramsey Edson drove to the box, moved laterally, and kept it in the family by assisting sister Rowan, who shot her first goal of the season. Mahopac answered near the end of the half when they got numbers into the box and a foot on a loose ball after GSOC failed to clear.

Mahopac came out strong after halftime, winning virtually all throw ins and goal kicks. But 32 minutes in, Ramsey Edson penetrated Mahopac territory on strong dribbling and found Meredith Feiner in the box; she took a shot from 45 feet that reverberated off the bottom of the crossbar, dropping away from the goalie; Hannah Fetzer had moved to goal and put the

deflection away for her first score of the season and the lead.

Mahopac wasn’t finished and applied maximum pressure to the end, including four corner kicks which found Mahopac heads, exposing lackluster GSOC blocking. Fortunately, none were on goal and GSOC ran out the clock for the win. Kaylin Genda had four saves in goal, including a well-hit long ball that she tipped over the cross bar.

The win was notable in the absence of Jillian Gordon and Molly Byrne and lopsided foul calls favoring the opponent.

On Wednesday, GSOC traveled to Brewster after handily defeating the Bears at home earlier. The Bears came out strong, threatening

Greeley’s goal a couple times in the first few minutes, but GSOC

settled in and began controlling the middle. Fourteen minutes in,

Syd Mikesell connected up the left side to Gordon, who hit a rocket into the net from 50 feet. GSOC hoped this would be the beginning of another overwhelming win, but Brewster kept testing Greeley’s defense with fast wingers, resulting in dangerous situations in the box. One such attack found GSOC in disarray and resulted in a Brewster goal just before the half.

We’ll never know what Coach Tracy said to the team, but it worked.

Seconds into the new half, Fetzer delivered up the middle to Feiner in the box for the score, sending GSOC ahead. Seven minutes later Hallie Rackoff assisted Ramsey Edson for a goal. GSOC began moving the ball at will and creating opportunities every couple of minutes. At 18 minutes, Feiner won a loose ball from the goalie and sent a flawless cross to Ramsey Edson for a textbook header and her second goal. Less than eight minutes later, Edson dribbled through traffic and assisted Rachel Glick on the run up the middle where she outpaced the defense and scored. In the waning

minutes Glick paid it forward by assisting Byrne who sprinted up the middle and scored.

Final: Greeley 6, Brewster 1, sending GSOC to 10-5 on the season.

VARSITY BOYS SOCCER

What a moment! Seniors’ Night began with a wonderful and touching ceremony where comedy, memories, and heartfelt messages were shared. With the atmosphere in the superbly decorated Greeley stands rocking, the match got underway.

The Quakers started an all Senior line-up and pushed numbers upfield from the start to the end of the game. The first breakthrough came courtesy of an unstoppable looping header by Shropshire who connected with P. Perez’s cross. A second inevitably followed, and this time it was Mancini who reacted fastest to the deflection from his own first attempt from a Margolies corner delivery. Greeley added a third after Larizza robbed a John Jay defender and set up Margolies’s one touch finish from the top of the box. P. Perez’s goal late in the game ensured that all Greeley captains would score; Katz intercepted a wayward John Jay clearance and passed the ball to P. Perez who took the ball to the outside of an oncoming defender before slotting in Greeley’s fourth. Final score 4-2 Greeley. Standouts: the Seniors.

The Greeley Boys continued to light up the scoreboard by beating Mahopac 4-0 on Tuesday. The Quakers displayed their ability to combine, switch the field, and pick apart a team’s midfield and defense. The first goal came when Walsh put in a searching ball from a freekick that the Mahopac goalkeeper managed to spill into the path of Larizza who was on hand to tap the ball into the net. The second goal featured an outstanding and masterful leaning header from Mancini off of a Shropshire corner delivery. The third came in the second half when Xiang managed to make contact with a timely Shropshire cross. Finally, M. Perez raised the roof with a tremendous goal; he picked up a Greeley clearance with his back to the goal, held his defender off until he found Larizza, made an intelligent run at the defense, took a near perfect directional touch on the ball that Larizza managed to put in his path, and blasted an amazing near-post finish. Standouts: Shropshire, Xiang.

A low key affair in Brewster ended in a 0-6 victory for the Greeley Boys. The scoring began at the very start of the game with a sweetly struck finish by Katz into side netting from well outside the box. Then with five minutes left to go in the half, P. Perez patiently dribbled without contest to the edge of the box before slotting M. Perez thru for a simple finish. Then in the second half Weiss played an inch perfect ball for M. Perez to run into and finish for Greeley's third. Kassel then headed a Greeley long ball into his own path behind the defense, rounded the keeper, spotted M. Perez in his rearview mirror, and backheeled an easy ball into his path for his hattrick. Kassel then recreated Katz's early goal for Greeley's fifth. Damon then capped of the night by running into the opposition third and looping an unstoppable shot over the Brewster keeper. The game also featured strong performances from Weiss, Kassel, Majumdar, Berwin, and Hametz. Standouts: who else? M. Perez!

After a Bounds rushing first down, team was forced to punt but snapped ball to QB Wohl, who threw a 50-yard pass to Samkoff.

A PO DT tackled Wohl on a rush and landed on his ankle; Wohl had to come out for a few plays but was ably replaced by JV newcomer Asch, a freshman. On a key fourth and 4, Asch hit Hessert for a clutch first down to keep the drive alive. Wohl was able to return and a few plays later Meehan brushed the football past the goal line for TD; Dhanawade kicked XP. 7–6 HG.

PO immediately scored on a 92-yard sprint from their speedy back; Forster stopped the two-point conversion, 12-7 PO.

Wohl passed to Meehan for a first down, then ran for 13 yards and another first down and then threw 25-yarder to Melis, but team unable to score before halftime. 18-7 PO.

HG started the third quarter quickly. On third and 2, Wohl threw a short pass to Melis on left sideline and the elusive Melis shook the tackle and sprinted to the end zone for a 73-yard TD. 18-13 PO.

PO went three and out and HG also went 3 and out. HG held once again against PO; Coku recorded a QB sack and HG got the ball back on downs. HG had an effective drive featuring two Wohl rushing first downs, passing interference on Meehan reception and Bounds bulldozing for 11 yards. Bounds had an electrifying 50-yard TD called back due to holding call a few plays earlier. HG got as close as the one-yard line but was unable to score.

After tackles by Coku and Schoonmaker, PO scored on an 80-yard fade route that beat coverage. 24-13 PO. Wohl got back to work; 30-yard completion to Hessert, two more rushing first downs and a face mask penalty but HG committed a costly turnover on the 10-yard line. After a quick three and out by PO, Wohl threw passes to Melis and Forster, ran for a first down and then threw a floater to Carter for 25 yards, a 20-yard pass to Hessert and 15-yard pass to freshman JV sensation Blakeslee, who almost scored. Wohl capped the drive with a 3-yard TD to Melis for his second TD reception. Dhanawade tried onside kick with under a minute remaining, but PO was able to hold on for final score of 24-20.

Wohl had his best day passing. He was 16 for 21 for 310 yards with three TDs and had completions to six different receivers. Tavo had his best game to date, leading all tacklers with eight.

HG finished regular season at 5-1 and is the No. 2 seed in its division. After a bye this week, HG hosts Irvington on Oct. 22 (time TBD). If that goes well, HG will play at PO again the weekend of Oct. 30.
