Juneau's goal sends Chazy back to final four

CHAMPLAIN | Chazy is headed back to the state semifinals. Freshman Brynn Babbie split two defenders with a pass to Marin Juneau, and the senior finished the chance for the game's only goal as the Eagles defeated Section IX's Rockland Central 1-0 Nov. 7 in a NYSPHSAA Class D girls soccer regional at Northeastern Clinton. Chazy improved to 20-1 and advanced to the state semifinals for the 13th time in program history. The fourth-ranked Eagles will face No. 7 Lisbon of Section X in the state semifinals. Lisbon advanced with a 3-1 regional victory over Section IV's Margaretville. Chazy broke through with 22:38 remaining in the first half. Babbie played a pass between two Rockland Central defenders to spring Juneau into space. Juneau took one touch before slotting a shot home from just outside the 6-yard box for her 21st goal of the season. That was all the Eagles needed. Chazy controlled the match throughout, finishing with a 16-0 advantage in shots on goal and an 8-0 edge in corner kicks. Rockland Central goalkeeper Calianne Harasemovech made 15 saves to keep the Wolves within a goal. Chazy goalkeeper Calleigh Clark did not face a shot on goal while recording the shutout. Rockland Central, ranked eighth in Class D, finished its season 11-2-2. The Wolves were Section IX's only Class D girls soccer team and entered having not played in 17 days after receiving a bye directly to the regional round. Chazy, meanwhile, will make its second consecutive trip to the state semifinals. The Eagles defeated Section 2's Fort Ann 2-0 in last year's semifinal before falling to Section III's Cincinnatus 1-0 in the state championship game. Lisbon enters the semifinal after making its own postseason run as the No. 3 seed in the 10-team Section X Class D tournament. The Golden Knights defeated second-seeded Hermon-DeKalb 2-0 in the semifinals before upsetting top-seeded Chateaugay 1-0 in overtime of the sectional championship. Lisbon then defeated Margaretville 3-1 in the regional round to secure its spot in the state semifinals.
