We already covered Monday's matchup in which first-place ICC held on to beat second place Cairo-Durham in a 3-2 thriller, so take a look at that full game write up for more details.
In their second game of the week, the Riders hosted winless Hudson and struggled to claw out a 1-0 victory against a feisty Bluehawks team. Bernie Watt scored the game's lone goal to help the Riders remain undefeated.
Just like the Cairo game, ccSCOOP covered the Riders 3-0 shutout win over rival Chatham from Friday, so take a look that report for the full recap.
Hudson
The Bluehawks started the week off with a tough 1-0 loss to Catskill, and Hudson remained winless. Hudson played tough and had their chances but surrendered a second-half goal to a team who they had a legit shot at beating.
A winless team against an undefeated team on paper seems like a mismatch, but Hudson fought hard and scrapped as they fell to ICC in Valatie by just one goal. Despite not earning the win, playing the top team in the league to a one goal game is an impressive feat. Brett Delamater came through with a great game in goal for Hudson making 12 saves.
Chatham
Building toward some important games in the upcoming days, the Panthers took care of business against Taconic Hills with a 7-0 victory on Monday. Todd Van Alstyne led the Panthers with a pair of goals and a pair of assists.
The Panthers traveled to Greenville in brutally windy conditions which limited both teams. The Panthers' Will Gauthier scored a goal early, and Tyler Mashaw added one shortly there after as Chatham held on for a hard fought 2-0 win.
On Friday the Panthers hosted ICC as they looked for the upset. Check our feature on this matchup.
Taconic Hills
The Titans had a rough start to the week as they fell to Columbia County foe Chatham 7-0. Jake Littman and Gabe Arcuri combined in goal for the Titans to make twenty-six stops.
On Wednesday the Titans rough week continued as they fell to Coxsackie Athens 4-1. Coleman Jaeger scored the Titans' lone goal in the loss, while Littman made fifteen stops in the loss.
On Friday, the Titans ended their week 0-3 as they dropped a 2-0 contest to Greenville. The two teams played a scoreless first half before the Spartans broke through. Littman made eight more stops in the loss.
