No. 1 South Glens Falls Advances in Sectionals

By Staff Report | Sports

SOUTH GLENS FALLS — After clinching its first Foothills Council title in 24 years, South Glens Falls field hockey capitalized on a No. 1 seed in the Section II Class B playoffs by taking down No. 8 Ichabod Crane, 5-0, Tuesday.

Nicole Crawford, Kelsey Baldwin, Olivia Higgins, Katie Washburn and Emily Sharpe all scored for the Bulldogs (11-5), as they shutout the Riders to advance to the semifinals.

The Bulldogs are carrying momentum from last Thursday’s council-clincher over powerhouse Johnstown, which featured a Washburn 1v1 goal for the win in overtime.

The combination of the speedy Washburn and team-leader in goals, Emily Sharpe, will be needed as the Bulldogs will now host No. 4 Glens Falls, who defeated No. 5 Emma Willard.

That game will start at 3 p.m. for a shot at the Section II crown the following Sunday, November 3, at Schuylerville.

“I’m just really proud and so thrilled for this group because they stuck with it, worked hard and they’re great kids,” said Ponda, who coached the group as the modified coach when the girls were in seventh and eighth grade as well.
