HIGH SCHOOL BOYS' SOCCER: ND BOYS SCORE 27 SECONDS IN AS THEY WIN 1-0 IN SECTIONAL QUARTERS (24 PHOTOS) (2023-10-20) Southern Tier Sports Report SOUTHPORT — It took just 27 seconds for the Notre Dame boys’ soccer team to score the game-winning goal on Friday in the Section IV, Class D playoffs.
Jose Marcotti Neto drilled a shot from outside the 18 into the net in the opening 30 seconds and that goal held up as the game’s only tally in a 1-0 win over Worcester in the sectional quarterfinals.
“I could not be more proud of the boys for playing through the bad weather and getting the result,” Notre Dame coach Josh Miller said. “It wasn’t our best performance, but the mentality of the payers allowed us to continue playing until the final whistle.”
Jackson Potter and the Crusaders defense earned their seventh clean sheet of the season.
Notre Dame is the second seed and they will take on third-seeded Edmonston on Tuesday in Oneonta. —— PHOTOS BY BRIAN FEES.
