Boys Soccer Beats Fabius-Pompey; Prepares for Busy Week

The Emerald Knights scored late in the first half and early in the second to hand Fabius-Pompey a 2-0 shutout Saturday night under the lights of Hamilton's stadium field.

The win puts Brian Latella's squad in a good position for a busy week ahead; HCS plays three games in five days starting Monday.

Ben Knecht drew a penalty kick with about six minutes left in the first half Saturday. Sam Owens took the shot and found the back of the net to put the Knights up 1-0.

That score stood for about two minutes in the second half. That's when Drew Thompson drilled in the second goal of the night from about 25 yards out. After that, the HCS defense held Fabius-Pompey, which plays in a very tough Onondaga County league, at bay.

Goalie John Kerber had a big save early in the first half, and that was all the opportunities F-P had.

Latella said he got some out standing play from some young players Saturday. He praised both Knecht and Bret Harris.

The game also marked the return of Sam Hale to the lineup. Hale injured his ankle against the loss to Holland Patent in the Optimists Cup Tournament. Latella said Hale looked strong in about 50 minutes of play.

Monday marks the return of Alex Brink to the Emerald Knights. He had been playing hockey and had to get in the requiste number of practices before returning to soccer.

On Monday, HCS plays at Clinton at 4:30 p.m. Clinton is 7-0 on the season. Wednesday the Knights are at Mt. Markham and Friday host Waterville t 7 p.m. in a homecoming contest.

Hamilton is now 4-1 on the year.
