1-0 Shutout Win for Storm

Wow, What a game! Canajoharie-Ft. Plain visited Schoharie Friday night for what would be an incredible match between the two WAC teams.

For every attack, there was a defense, for every pass there was coverage, for every shot there was a save, including a few high quality saves from Canjo-Ft.Plain keeper Trent Lozier who would end up with 10 saves on the evening to help give his team a chance against the continuous Storm attack. In doing so, Canjo-Ft.plain created their own attacks through long balls to their speedy forward, Silas Smith.

But Schoharie Center back and Captain, Max Kenny was up to each of those challenges with speed of his own.

Back and forth the teams went, both sensing a potential victory and the physical play increased accordingly. It was with just over 8 minutes remaining in the contest that Schoharie’s Ben Bengtson placed a corner kick in the perfect spot for Nolan Fretto to head the ball into the net for the game’s only goal. Canjo-Ft. Plain would not quit and the Schoharie defense would need to work hard to maintain the lead.

Time would run out and Schoharie Storm secured the win. Corner kicks were 3-2 in favor of Schoharie and the turning point of the game. Special thanks to Prince Knight for the information.
