In field hockey, there are times when the game’s tactics and rules put a sharp limit on the amount of offense that can be produced.
Baldwinsville has dealt with this reality throughout its 2020 season, and managed to put together three consecutive victories while only scoring four times.
Venturing to Liverpool on a soggy Monday evening, B’ville prevailed 1-0, just as it had done at Cazenovia two days earlier.
Unlike that Lakers game, won in overtime by a Rebecca Mantione, the Bees converted early in regulation against the Warriors, Gloria Metallo netting her first goal of the season as Emma Dugan got the assist.
For the rest of the game, Liverpool’s defense kept the Bees quiet, but on the other end defenders Celia Bush, Mary Young and Mia Kudzal turned away chances, and goalie Cara Vredenburg stopped all seven shots she faced.
Now B’ville would get a mid-season break, since its scheduled game against Cortland on Saturday got moved to Nov. 14. It would not play for eight days until Tuesday’s visit to Holland Patent, followed a day later by a rematch with the East Syracuse Minoa side it beat 4-1 earlier this month.
