Hilton girls win division crown

by Warren Kozireski

The Cadets netted two goals in the first half and added another in the second to defeat Churchville-Chili 3-1 and clinch the Division 3 crown – their first in 11 years.

“I was here when this program was dominant in the 80s and 90s and we’ve been working to bring it back to that level,” said head coach Steve Sorenson. “I’m proud of the way these girls have worked for this moment.”

In the ninth minute, Nicole Schleusener passed to Courtney Robertson, who dribbled around one defender before finding the back of the net for her third goal this season to give the Cadets a 1-0 lead.

Later in the first half, Leslie Graus found Robertson, who scored her second of the game for a 2-0 halftime lead.

Churchville-Chili senior Carly Zimmerman pulled the Saints to within one goal in the 43rd minute with an assist from Ally Breon, but Hilton senior Morgan Graus sealed the win just one minute later scoring her team-leading seventh goal of the season off a pass from Vanessa L’Abbate.

Jordan Ott made eight saves in net for the Cadets.

With the division title, Hilton was seeded second for the Section V playoffs and received a first round bye and will host the winner of a first round contest between Spencerport and Rush Henrietta.
