Stamford to face Dragons in girls final

Anonymous STAFF REPORT The Daily Star Tue Sep 06, 2011, 03:30 AM EDT

Griffin Metzko scored twice Saturday, helping South Kortright to a 5-1 thumping of the host team in a Stamford Mayor's Cup semifinal at Archibald Field.

Ty Magnan, Trevor Holdridge and Jesse Boest also scored for the defending Section Four Class D champion Rams (2-0), who received two assists from Cody Burns and one from Dan Nelson.

"It was just a good team effort," said SK coach Bob VanValkenburgh, who got one save apiece from goalies Brandon Tuttle and Ray Anderson.

The Rams, who outshot Stamford, 25-3, advanced to the tournament championship game against Roxbury at 6 p.m. this Saturday.

VanValkenburgh also said today's boys and girls soccer games against Margaretville have been postponed as the Blue Devils continue to recover from the damage caused by Hurricane Irene last week.

Ryan Dianich scored for the Indians (1-1).
