Mahopac beats Clarkstown North

September
27

Up and down Mahopac was up today, at least for the last 70 minutes.

Clarktown North was the better team when the game began. The Rams were more settled, getting the ball to the corners. The way Maya Kantor was going after it, it seemed only a matter of time before she scored.

Instead it was Mahopac who scored, first by luck, then by skill. The Indians walked off North’s field with a much-needed 3-0 victory. After the disappointing tie to New Rochelle and loss to White Plains, and before the difficulty of league play, they had to have an easy win like today.

Like they have recently, they started poorly. Then about 10 minutes in, Carly Villanova (pictured at right) got a straight shot on North goalie Sheulen Tsai. It hit Tsai in the hands, flew behind her, and went in. That goal turned out to be just the spark Mahopac needed. It was no doubt the better team after that.

Now comes the deadly league schedule, which I’ll explore in this week’s notebook.

    Jake-The Varsity Central site has incorrect info concerning today’s Greeley/Ossining. Liz Novenstern had 3 goals and Syd ruttman had 1.

    Jake,

    You must know Mahopac lost 8 starting seniors and they are in the toughest League in The section. Arlington, East Fishkill and Ketchum will probably be ranked at the end of the season all in the top 10.
