Oneonta 6, Windsor 0
Six Yellowjackets scored as Oneonta’s girls remained undefeated with a Southern Tier Athletic Conference rout of host Windsor.
“They are a program trying to develop,” OHS coach Jerry Mackey said. “They’re doing good things. They have four wins already this year, which is the most in the history of their program. But obviously, these are two programs in two different stages of development right now.”
Dani Nicosia, Meg Burns, Madison Miller and Abby Picinich scored in the first half for the Jackets (7-0, 7-0), who received second-half goals from Minnie Webster and Alicia Arcidiacano. Mariah Ruff and Rachael Brown contributed two assists apiece for OHS, who held a 24-0 advantage in shots.
The Yellowjackets host two Class AA teams this weekend at the Wright National Soccer Campus, following a 1 p.m. game against Cicero-North Syracuse on Saturday with an 11 a.m. game Sunday against Liverpool.
“It should be a great soccer game versus two high level teams,” Mackey said. “I hope people around the community will come out and support us this weekend. They’ll get to see a really good game if they do.”
Delhi 2, Sidney 1
Melissa Conrad scored the winner with 19:31 left as Delhi won a MAC game on the road.
Sidney outshot the Bulldogs, 18-8, but Delhi goalie Katie Pardee made 11 saves and the Warriors had trouble getting the ball into the goal.
“That’s actually been the story our last couple of games,” Sidney coach Jody Gravelin said. “We definitely had opportunities. There were many scrambles in front of the net, but we didn’t finish.”
Jenna McDonald scored for Sidney 16:27 into the first half on a cross from Vita Guglielmetti.
Marisa Maney tied it with 7:01 left in the half, after Deonna Scarimbolo’s shot slipped through the hands of Sidney goalie Jolene Krom and bounced to Maney.
Sidney (5-3, 3-1) hosts Unadilla Valley next Thursday.

“We are playing really pretty soccer,” Unatego coach Sue Herodes said. “The girls control the ball really well. The difference with this team is so many different people are scoring.
“Our defense has been phenomenal, too,” she continued. “We’ve allowed 14 shots in nine games.”
The Spartans host Seton Catholic Central of the Southern Tier Athletic Conference in a non-league game at 11 a.m. Saturday.
“We’re excited to play them,” Herodes said of the Saints, who fell, 1-0, to unbeaten Oneonta High on Tuesday. “It’s going to be a challenging game, but we’re looking forward to it.”

BOYS SOCCER
Davenport 1, H-T 1
Host Davenport and Hunter-Tannersville each scored in the final 10 minutes of regulation, then played 20 minutes of scoreless overtime in a Delaware League tie.
Mike Libby headed in a corner kick from Kyle Beang with 8:48 left in the second half, scoring from 9 yards to give Davenport a 1-0 lead.
“He connected well with the ball and sent it to the far post,” Davenport coach Deb Moorby said. “No one else can jump as high as he can, so there was no way to stop him.”
H-T tied it with 2:20 left, when Dylan Legg scored on a breakaway.
“He crossed it in from left side of field and shot from outside box to the far post,” Moorby said. “It was a beautiful shot in the air. My goalie (Cody Wamsley) had no way he could save that shot.”
Davenport played without starting goalie Chris Kopf, who hurt his tailbone in practice Wednesday. Moorby said freshman Wamsley had a solid outing with two saves in place of Kopf.
“We were pleased with him,” Moorby said of Wamsley, who normally plays halfback. “He played goalie in travel league a few years back but hasn’t played it recently. He did very well.”
Kopf is questionable for Davenport (8-1-1, 3-1-1) on Saturday, when the Wildcats host Cooperstown in the championship game of the Chic Walshe Tournament.
Jake Davis made 17 saves for Hunter-Tannersville, which was outshot, 24-4.
Unatego 1, B-G 0
Phil Youngs scored on a cross from Spencer Wilson in the first half, and Unatego held on for a non-league road win over Midstate Athletic Conference rival Bainbridge-Guilford.
“Spencer Wilson had a really nice touch,” B-G coach Pete Feltham said. “To be honest, I was more worried about him than Youngs even. We played them earlier in the season and we lost, 7-0, and Spencer had three assists. He’s their quarterback; he sets it up for them.”
The defensive battle featured six saves for Unatego goalie Alex White and five for Brandt McCall of Bainbridge-Guilford, which finished with a 7-5 edge in shots.
“We had our chances,” Feltham said. “We were pleased with how much better we played them this time. That is about as good as we can play.”
B-G (4-6-1, 1-3-1) is at Greene on Monday.

Oneonta 3, CV 1
Kelsey Baker had 11 kills and Krissy Wells amassed 22 assists as Oneonta overcame a slow start to beat visiting Chenango Valley in the Southern Tier Athletic Conference.
After dropping the opening game, 26-24, the Yellowjackets dominated the Warriors, 25-9, 25-8, 25-9.
“It was a combination of two things,” OHS coach Lee Ferrara said. “We’re coming off a string of really tough teams that run really fast offenses. CV does not run a quick offense, and we got stuck and let ourselves down a little bit.
“Then we settled down and decided to play,” he continued. “We hammered the ball at them. Then they went into a slump and could not get out of it.”
