Empire 8 Soccer Title for Ithaca Women



I had the pleasure of broadcasting the Empire 8 Women's Soccer Championship game Sunday at Ithaca's Carp Wood Field. The game pitted Empire 8 powers Ithaca and Nazareth against each other in a battle for an automatic berth to the NCAA tournament.

There was none of the usual drama that a match up between these two teams usually brings. The Bombers sprinted out to a 4-0 half-time lead and never looked back, winning 5-0. Ithaca will learn their NCAA pairing on Monday.

Amy Scheffer, pictured above (courtesy of bombers.ithaca.edu) was named tournament MVP after scoring twice in the semifinals and registering three assists against Nazareth.
