Class B: Victor 8, Irondequoit 7 (4 OT)

Eighth-grader Allie Pisano was the hero for the Blue Devils as her goal in the fourth overtime gave Victor their second straight sectional title.

Irondequoit, seeking their first sectional title since 1996, started the game red-hot. The Eagles led 5-1 at the half thanks to a swarming defense and were in front 7-2 with just under 16 minutes remaining in the game. Maeve Brennan powered the offense with four goals.

However, the defending state champs fought back. Victor scored four goals in the next ten minutes, three by Devin Livingston, to make it 7-6. The final goal of the comeback was harder to come by. Still trailing with ten seconds left, Livingston had the ball knocked out of her stick but scooped up the ground ball. She then found Libby Boland in front who tied up the game with 5.2 seconds left on the clock.

Victor controlled each of the overtime periods, but Emma Francis kept her team alive with save after save. In the fourth overtime, she met her match.

Pisano earned a free-position shot and the eighth-grader delivered in grand fashion, ripping home the winner.

“We knew that we had to have grit and we couldn’t do it without each other so we came together and we stayed calm through all of it and we got it done,” said Pisano of the comeback.

“It may have been the last goal but we couldn’t have done it without the team,” she added. “My team gave me confidence. They told me that I could do it and they believed in me. That helped me.”

Victor will take on Clarence from Section VI in the Far West Regionals. The game will take place at Clarence High School, the pre-determined site of the regionals, on Saturday, June 3rd at 11:00 a.m.

Irondequoit’s season ends with an 11-8 record and their first championship game appearance since 2012.
