Sweeney sets up two for Blue Devils

Senior co-captain Taylor Sweeney assisted on the first and last goals as Brockport defeated Spencerport 3-0 in a girls soccer game played at Dan Walrath Stadium.

The Blue Devils netted all three goals over a six minute span during the first half. The first came at 32:04 as Sweeney sent a cross into the box. The Rangers defense and goalkeeper mixed up their communication allowing sophomore Emma Moulton to pounce on the loose ball and score.

2:07 later, Heidi Sommer sent a through-pass to spring Morgan Smith in all alone on the keeper, where she made it 2-0 Brockport.

The final tally came at the 38 minute mark as Sweeney’s shot bounced off the keeper and deflected back off Sweeney to Brooke Falsion, who found the back of the net.

Brockport goalkeeper Lilia Sagan made three saves in registering her second shutout of the season.

“We have not played sound defensively every game or finished our opportunities, but tonight we did both,” first year Blue Devils head coach Matt Davis said. “I’m trying to bring a different style of play; keep the ball moving and where our shape is important and it has taken us a little while to adjust.”

Brockport was seeded eighth in Class A and on the bubble to potentially host a first round Section V Class A playoff game, but with a 6-6-2 record believe they need to win out in the final week of the regular season at Gates Chili and home against Churchville-Chili, plus receive help from other teams for that to happen.
