In another tight battle between Alfred State and Hiram (OH), the Terriers scored on the first possession of overtime to earn the 9-8 victory on Saturday. A game earlier in the week vs. Cazenovia was postponed due to the weather.
The Pioneers started off fast and jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first 11:35 of the game as five different scorers found the back of the net. Hiram slowed down the Alfred State offense and fought back. They trailed 5-3 after the 1st, 5-4 at half, and 7-6 after three. The Terriers took the lead but Joe Johnson (Churchville) scored with 1:16 left to tie it and the game went to extra time. On the first possession of OT, Hiram was able to score the game winner.
Johnson finished with a hat trick while AJ Soto (Churchville) scored twice. Tucker Sutphen (Brockport) led the team with five ground balls to go along with a goal and an assist. Matt Cobb (Churchville) made 14 saves in the game.

In their victory, the Pioneers rallied from a 2-0 deficit for the victory. Marissa Varela (Egg Harbor Twp, NJ) and Ashley Peterson (Valley Central) connected on back-to back RBI singles to tie the game in the 6th. In the 7th, Alfred State loaded the bases with no outs and won the game when the Blue Jays threw a wild pitch that allowed Angela Martone (Candor) to score the winning run.
