Canandaigua 6, Penn Yan 5

The Braves picked up their sixth straight win against the Mustangs, earning a hard-fought victory in their highly-anticipated rivalry showdown.

The Braves led 4-2 at the half, but the Mustangs answered in the third quarter with goals by Teagan Fingar and Tukker Fisher to tie it up. The Braves responded with just a few ticks left in the frame as Braden Gioseffi scored his second of the contest to make it 5-4.

Sean Olvany scored another after recovering a loose ball to make it 6-4, but Fingar answered in transition to cut the deficit to just a goal with 7:52 remaining.

Penn Yan had a few scoring chances in the final few minutes, including a possession as time expired, but Jack Faiola and the Braves’ defense were up to the challenge to secure the win.

Gioseffi and Olvany each netted a pair of goals for the Braves, while Drew Williamee and Luke McCrobie added a goal.

Fingar finished with two goals and an assist for the Mustangs, with Bryant Vanhousen, Carter Earl, and Fisher each scoring once.
