THURSDAY, October 22

On Thursday the Patroon Conference featured a slate of four games, three of which included Columbia County teams, with major league and sectional seeding implications. Ichabod Crane held onto the slimmest of leads over Maple Hill with any loss knocking the Riders out of first. Greenville, Coxsackie-Athens, and Chatham are all in solid position as the season winds down and the teams are playing for seeding purposes. Chatham had a great chance to make a statement against Maple Hill on Thursday, while Greenville can take a major step forward Monday with a victory over ICC. C-A had the chance to make the biggest statement when they played Greenville Thursday and Chatham on Monday.

Catskill v. Ichabod Crane
The Riders remained alone in first place after a convincing 7-0 win over winless Catskill. ICC scored only two goals in the first half but exploded for five in the second to secure the win and improve to 13-1-1 with one game remaining, Monday against Greenville. The Cats ended their season without a win in conference.

A foursome of Riders finished with a goal and an assist: Mariela Jacome, Jessica Mink, Haley Ooms, and Lacey Powers. Alex Armstrong, Cassidy Lester, and Morgan Van Alstyne each scored a goal in the win. Alicia Mink made three stops in goal for ICC, while Meghan Baxter came up with twenty-seven stops in the loss.

Chatham v. Maple Hill
In order to keep their hopes of at least a share of the league title alive, the Wildcats would need to earn a win against a tough Chatham squad on Thursday in Castleton. The homestanding Wildcats did just that with a hard fought 1-0 victory.

Sierra Legge scored the game's lone goal off a Meeghan Arno assist in the first half, and that was all it would take to earn the win.

Maple Hill improves to 12-1-2 and will head to Taconic Hills on Monday to close our their regular season, while Chatham, 9-6, finishes up Monday at Coxsackie-Athens.

Taconic Hills v. Hudson
Kylle Proper opened the scoring for the Titans in the first half as they jumped on top of Columbia County rival Hudson in a battle for bragging rights on Thursday. Hailey Hollenbeck scored for Hudson to even the score in the second half, but the Bluehawks could not hold on as Jamie Albrecht netted the game winner with 13 minutes left in the contest.

Sarah Baron and Genevieve Bergeron each added an assist for the Titans in victory. Janine Hamm made eight saves to earn the win, while Jackie Hall made thirteen saves in the loss.

Both teams will finish up their seasons on Monday as the Titans host Maple Hill and Hudson heads to Cairo-Durham.
