Chazy rolls past Lisbon, returns to Class D title game

MORAVIA | Chazy will get another opportunity to finish the job. The second-ranked Eagles scored twice in each half Saturday to defeat No. 6 Lisbon 4-1 in a NYSPHSAA Class D girls soccer semifinal at Moravia High School, advancing to the state championship game for the second consecutive season. Freshman Brynn Babbie scored twice, sophomore Harper Friedrich had a goal and figured into another, and Marin Juneau helped create both second-half goals as Chazy improved to 21-1. The Eagles will face Section V's Northstar Christian Academy (17-2-1) at 3 p.m. Sunday at Dryden High School. No. 5 Northstar Christian upset top-ranked Cincinnatus 1-0 in the other semifinal. Chazy enters the championship game seeking its fourth state title. The Eagles won outright titles in 2010 and 2011 under head coach Karin Sherman Trombley and shared the 2007 championship with Lyme following a scoreless draw under head coach Joe Dumoulin. Sunday will mark Chazy's seventh appearance in a state championship game. The Eagles finished as runners-up in 2006 and 2009, losing 1-0 to Arkport both times, and returned to the final last season before falling 1-0 to Cincinnatus. The Eagles struck first Saturday with 32:17 remaining in the opening half. A bouncing ball skipped over the foot of a Lisbon defender, and Babbie collected it approximately 40 yards from goal. She dribbled into the attacking third, waited for goalkeeper Aubree Amo to commit and finished to the far post for a 1-0 advantage. Chazy doubled its lead with 3:36 remaining before halftime. Following a free kick, the ball was played into a dangerous area wide of the goal. Friedrich took a left-footed shot that redirected off a Lisbon defender and into the net to make it 2-0. The Eagles continued to apply pressure after halftime. Juneau sent a cross from the right sideline with 28:11 remaining. Friedrich's initial attempt was blocked by a defender, but Babbie collected the loose ball and buried a shot inside the near post for her second goal and a 3-0 lead. Chazy added another with 10:14 left. Juneau again delivered a cross from the right side. Amo came off her line in an attempt to play the ball, and Friedrich was waiting near the goal to tap it in with her left foot for a 4-0 advantage. Lisbon prevented Chazy from recording its 20th shutout of the season with 1:11 remaining. Kylie Quinlin took a free kick from 27 yards out and slipped the shot inside the near post for Lisbon's lone goal. Chazy finished with a 15-7 advantage in shots and an 11-1 edge in corner kicks. Amo made 11 saves for Lisbon, while Calleigh Clark stopped six shots for the Eagles. The loss ended an unlikely postseason run for Lisbon, which entered the Section X Class D tournament as the No. 3 seed and reached the state semifinals after defeating Section IV's Margaretville 3-1 in the regional round. Northstar Christian will be making its first girls soccer state championship game appearance. The Rochester-based private Christian school is seeking its first girls soccer state title, although its boys program won the Class D championship in 1998. For Chazy, Sunday offers another chance at a state championship one year after coming within a goal of one.
