Barker trims Medina in Class C semifinal
Photos by Cheryl Wertman – Madelina Pavlock, who scored both Barker goals drives toward the goal as Adelynne Lacy and Penelope Schalck defend for Medina. The action took place during host Barker’s sectional semifinal win over Medina this evening.
All of the scoring came off of corner opportunities as No. 2 seed Barker edged No. 3 Medina 2-1 in the semifinals of the Section VI Class C field hockey playoffs this evening at Barker.
Barker grabbed a 1-0 lead with 2:30 remaining in the first quarter as Madelina Pavlock scored off a corner by Kaylee Stoll.
That same combination of Stoll to Pavlock clicked again off a corner with 11:57 to go in the final quarter for what proved to be the game winning goal giving Barker a 2-0 lead.
Medina answered right back a minute later as Penelope Schalck scored off a corner by Lilah Class to cut the deficit to 2-1 but the Mustangs could not net the equalizer.
Improving to 13-5, Barker will now face top seeded Niagara-Orleans League champion Akron in the Class C championship game at 8 p.m. Thursday at Alden.
Medina finishes the season with an 11-7 overall record.
Akron nipped No. 5 seed Eden 4-3 in overtime in the other semifinal on a goal by Mackenzie Tomporowski.
Morgan Tomporowski also had a pair of goals on the evening for Akron.
