Rangers earn first girls soccer victory

by Warren Kozireski

Junior Katie Chamberlain netted a goal in each half and senior goalkeeper Allie Dobles registered her first varsity win as Spencerport ended a nine-game winless skid spanning two seasons with a 2-0 victory over Greece Olympia.

The Rangers jumped out to an early lead in the second minute of the contest as captain Sabrina DeBellis, Lindsay Johnson and Chamberlain pulled off a perfect triangular pass play leading to Chamberlain’s fourth goal of the season.

Dobles then preserved her shutout with a diving stop in the 36th minute on a Kayla Sobb shot.

In the second half, Spencerport sophomore Elena Sullivan put a perfect indirect kick from 35 yards out into the box where Chamberlain headed it into the net to give Spencerport some breathing room at 2-0.

“This was a long time coming,” said Rangers head coach Jamie Schneider. “We’ve been playing better than last season, but not getting the results. Now the hard work has paid off.”

“The first goal was big because we haven’t been starting well, so that gave us momentum.”
