NTL GIRLS' SOCCER: NEB RALLIES PAST TROY 2-1 (24 PHOTOS) (2020-09-26)

Northern Tier Sports Report
ROME — Northeast Bradford scored two second half goals to beat Troy 2-1 for their first win of the season in NTL girls’ soccer action Saturday.

The Panthers had played to several 1-goal losses but finally broke through against the Trojans.


“Our ladies went into the game defensive minded,” said NEB coach Michele Cowles. “They maintained their positions, communicated, and had the determination to not give up. Going into the second half we were down by one, but our ladies pushed forward. They continued to stay strong and work as a team to pull out a win. So proud of these ladies.”


Troy is playing short handed, due to Canton suspending in school learning and extra curricular activities until mid-October due to a Covid-19 positive case. Nine Canton athletes play on the Troy team.


They struck first as Hunter McClellan scored early in the opening half on a long shot that she buried into the back of the net.


The two teams would go back and forth through the half before two goals by Melanie Shumway put the Panthers ahead. Kayleigh Thoman assisted on both goals.


Troy out shot NEB 22-17 while the Panthers had a 4-1 edge in corner kicks.


NEB goalie Ciana Frisbie stopped 20 shots while Troy’s Olivia Tate made 14 saves.
