Granville Holds Off Whitehall Under the Lights
If it was horshoes or corn hole the Whitehall girls soccer team may have defeated Granville handily. Unfortunetly for the Railroaders what counts is how many times you put the ball in the net. Whitehall peppered the net in the second half but their efforts were to no avail as Granville held on for a 2-1 win in Adirondack League on "Lights Week."
Whitehall jumped out to a 1-0 lead and could have led 3-0 at the break but were stoned on a couple of penalty kick chances by Granville freshman goalie Kara Jurnak.
"That's kind of the story of this year a little bit," Whitehall coach Boyd Hunt said after the game. "We made a couple of mistakes there and they capitalized. Right now we struggle to find the net. We've been working on trying to find that. Hopefully it comes some day."
Mia Waters scored in the first half to give Whitehall a 1-0 advantage.
Teaghan Cutter socred early in the second half to equalize for the Golden Horde.
Paige Taylor scored the eventual game winner off a loose ball in front of the net after a strong run by Alyssa Welner to set things up for Granville.
"These girls have come a long way. Especially the last three weeks," Granville coach Dan Poucher said. "We're trying to build something here. They're starting to really buy in and they're starting to really play for each other."
Jurnak was outstanding in goal for Granville with 15 saves.
Khloe Paddock had seven saves for the Railroaders.
