RANDOLPH — Allegany-Limestone topped Randolph 3-0 in a game between teams that could battle for the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association East Division crown.

Logan Andrus put the Gators (3-2-0, 1-0-0) on the board in the 12th minute with an unassisted tally.

After halftime, Noah Paterniti scored from Bryant Talbot in the 52nd minute before Connor Bates scored from Tyler Curran in the 62nd minute.

“It was a pretty evenly matched game in the first half,” Randolph coach Dave Levandowski said. “We came out and I felt like we had better control in the second half. We were bitten by bad luck. We had some bad bounces on each of their three goals.”

Southwestern’s Marcus Kautzman (6) and the Marauders’ Luis Gonzalez (28) battle for possession.

“We’ve had some bad games early on, but today we played well enough to win,” Levandowski said. “We just got zero breaks.”
