UTICA — The Adirondack United girls hockey team, which includes players from Saratoga Springs High School, captured their second-straight New York regional championship last Saturday in Utica, defeating the previously undefeated Skaneateles 3 to 1.
Adirondack’s three goals were scored by Aubrey Lozier, Kady Duffy, and Gianna Marcantonio.
Skaneateles scored first in the contest, putting the United on notice with 5:30 left in the first period. But Adirondack responded with two quick goals in the second stanza that were made within one minute of each other. Then the United lit the lamp once more in the final period to put the nail in the coffin, securing another title victory.
Last year, the girls were crowned regional champs after a 7-3 win over Kenmore-Grand Island. In that season, they finished with an undefeated 14-0 record. 2023 was the ice squad’s
inaugural season, in which they finished with a 19-2 record but lost to Clinton in the state title game.
