Ranked third in New York State, the Voorheesville girls’ soccer team got to the Class B sectional final for the second straight year. In a crushing loss, 4 to 1, the Birds couldn’t beat the first-ranked team, Schalmont — the same team Voorheesville last year in the semifinals.

Sometimes, you end up back where you started.

Senior Lydia Parker scored for Voorheesville from about midfield with 20 seconds left in regulation play to force the Class B final with Catholic Central into overtime where the Crusaders were victorious.

Although Guilderland had lost most of its line-up from its championship season last year, new players stepped up and came close to the high bar, losing its playoff match, 1 to 0.

The Guilderland girls’ soccer team was knocked out of the Class AA playoffs on Oct. 28 with a 5-to-0 loss to Niskayuna at home in the quarterfinals.

Eighth-seeded Berne-Knox-Westerlo took on top-seeded Stillwater on Monday evening at Stillwater High School for the Class C sectional quarterfinal. 

For the second year in a row, the Blackbirds were halted by Ichabod Crane in the boys' soccer match. This time, they took a goal, ending the game 2-to-1.

A goal by Julia Voss in the 39thminute, off of a well-placed assist by Talia Crisafulli, was enough offense for Voorheesville to advance to the finals.

Jeremy Collen scored the sudden-death overtime winning goal for Guilderland on Monday in the Class AA soccer quarterfinals against Saratoga.

Four or five soccer teams can make a case for a Class AA championship in 2014, and Guilderland is certainly one of them.
