Hat trick

The Lady Dutch beat three league opponents the week before.

Guilderland beat Shenendehowa, 19-6, on April 16. The Dutch then beat Ballston Spa, 25-2, on April 17, and then beat Columbia, 21-5, on April 18.

“It has been a nice first half of the year and this week we continued to play well,” said Guilderland Coach Gary Chatnik. “Everyone got quality time and scoring was spread throughout the team. We had a lot of players gain a lot of experience and that will help us as we get closer to sectionals.”

Ali DeRizzo had three goals against Ballston Spa and Jenna Crupi scored three against Columbia.

The defense also scored a few goals as Molly Barker, Amy Branchini, Marissa Page, Corinne Chatnik, Lauren Cagino, Hannah Scott, and Casey Gerety each got a tally.

“The defense has played well all year and it is nice to see them get their names in the paper with goals,” Chatnik said. “They played well on offense and had a little fun doing it.”

Santandrea made a combined 14 goals during the week.

Home stretch

The Lady Dutch are in the home stretch of games. They played Shaker High School on Wednesday. The Dutch then play Averill Park on Friday and then travel to Saratoga on Monday.

Guilderland wraps up the regular season with games against Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake on May 7 and Shen on May 9.
