S.C. Genesee Lancers United take Medina YMCA U19 Girls tourney!

The S.C. Genesee Lancers United ladies u19 team went to Medina and took first place in the Medina YMCA U19G tourney on January 11.

The ladies got off to a slow start dropping a 1-0 decision to a very good Albion team. But the Lancers would bounce right back with a dominating 4-0 win over Attica. Emilie Rath (Medina H.S.) scored twice, while Emily Starowitz (FLCC/Bergen HS) and Lindsay Wellspeak (FLCC/Alexander HS) each had a goal. Julia Medwid (SUNY Fredonia/Alexander HS) chipped in with 2 assists, and Starowitz and Brittany Luckey (Leroy HS) each had one. Leslie George (GCC/Alexander HS) had the first of 3 shutouts on the day on goal.

Game three saw the Lancers defeat York 2-0 behind goals by Luckey (unassisted) and Jessie Jaszko (GCC/Batavia HS), and some fine saves by George in goal to preserve the shutout. Wellspeak assisted on Jaszko's goal.

In the semifinals, the Lancers got their rematch with Albion and defeated them 2-0 as Wellspeak  scored off a great pass by Jaszko, and Luckey would take a great pass by Wellspeak to score and lead the way.

In the championship game, the Lancers defeated Alexander 3-1. Jaszko got the Lancers quickly on the board off a Wellspeak assist. A very well organized Alexander team would tie the game up, but Wellspeak would notch 2 goals to ice the win and the title. Jenna Ferrando (GCC/Leroy HS) and Audrey Rath (Alfred State/Medina HS) led a great defense all day - Great job ladies!!!
