Another Tie For Girls Soccer
On September 20 the Pine Valley/Gowanda Varsity girls soccer team hosted Salamanca. It was another instance of both teams finding few scoring opportunities in a game that ended in a tie. Six minutes into the game, Salamanca took a 1-0 lead. That held for seventeen minutes when Pine Valley’s Sarah Kruszka tied things up with seventeen minutes left in the 1st half. There were no further scores in the game. Pine Valley goalkeeper, faced only 11 shots on goal while the Salamanca goalkeeper was tested only 9 times. Still, for a team that lost four straight games to start the season, getting a win and a tie in the last two outings is certainly progress. That expands to 2 ties and a win in the last 4 games with the loss in that stretch being by a 3-4 score.
