Schoharie Pulls Off Impressive Victory over Holy Trinity

SCHOHARIE — Coming off their first win of the season, Notre Dame - Bishop Gibbons – Catholic Central (Holy Trinity) traveled to Schoharie for an important WAC matchup. 

Holy Trinity came out with energy and held the Schoharie attack scoreless for the first 15 minutes of the game, and setting up a few chances of their own. Then, Schoharie’s Ben Bengtson placed a corner kick on the feet of RJ Smith, who after a few moves, scored the first goal of the game. 

Again, the teams would battle back and forth, when the Storm would score from Caleb Cain’s shot from distance over the head of the Pride goalkeeper. 2-0 at the half. Schoharie’s ball control would give them a 3-0 lead when RJ Smith scored his second on a free kick just outside the box. 

The Pride would not give up, and Ella Dibacco scored on her own free kick from a similar spot at the other end of the pitch to bring them within 2. Bengtson would send another cross into the box where Caleb Cain would score his second goal and give some breathing room, which the Storm would need. With just over three minutes remaining, Jim DeMasi would score his first Varsity goal for the Pride when he chipped the Storm GK who came off his line. 

Time would run out on the Pride in a well-matched game and Schoharie won 4-2. Corners were limited in the match 2-1 in favor of the Storm. Special thanks to Prince Knight for the information.
