Albion will then close out the N-O season by hosting rival Medina/Lyndonville on Thursday while Wilson faces rival Newfane (4-3-1).

One other big boys soccer game will have Kendall visiting rival Holley on Tuesday in a Genesee Region League contest. The Hawks downed the Eagles 4-2 in an earlier season meeting.

In N-O girls soccer undefeated (9-0) Albion which has already locked up the title, will look to complete a perfect N-O season on Wednesday as the Purple Eagles host Barker.

A key N-O field hockey game on Tuesday will have Roy-Hart at Akron. Roy-Hart is currently tied for first place with Barker at 8-1 while Akron is two games off the pace at 7-3.
