Victor Over OP in Westerns

 SPORTSFIVE REPORT:  

It was the second meeting of the Victor Blue Devils and the Orchard Park Quakers this year and the result was the same as the Blue Devils defeated the powerful Section VI Class A Quakers 17-7 in the Western Regionals in Buffalo today. The first game (on April 30th) saw Victor winning 19-5.

Not unlike their game with Pittsford in the Section Five Championships, Victor started out slowly. The Quakers outscored them 2-1 in the first quarter but the Blue Devils woke up in the second, scoring six unanswered goals and ending the half up 8-2. Victor added three more in the third and then six more unanswered goals in the last quarter before ending up with the 17-7 win.

Key to the win was the expected, but sterling effort of senior face off specialist T.D. Ierlan who won 19 of 21 face offs for Victor. The consistent ball time on their offensive end of the field limited shots by Orchard Park, but sophomore goalie, Chayse Ierlan made a number of classy saves and ended his day with 9s/5ga.

Victor, who have been undefeated since 2014, will move on to the NYS semifinal round in Syracuse (Cicero-North Syracuse High School) and will play Corning (Section IV) who defeated Jamesville-DeWitt (Section III) in overtime toady. The game will be played on Wednesday at 8:00 pm.
