A pair of first half goals off corner kick opportunities keyed No. 2 seed Geneseo to a 3-1 win over No. 6 Kendall in the Section V Class C2 boys soccer semifinals this evening at Caledonia-Mumford.

Geneseo upped its lead to 3-0 in the first five minutes of the second half.

Kendall battled back with a goal by Colby Hughes five minutes later. The Eagles, which had a first half goal disallowed by an offsides call, later had a shot rattle off the cross bar with just under 8 minutes to go but could not find the net again.

Kendall finishes the season at 9-9-1 while Geneseo advances to the C2 finals with a 14-3-1 record.
