JHS Girls Fall In OT
West Seneca Spoils Kathman’s Debut
The Jason Kathman era got off to a dramatic start at Strider Field on Thursday.
West Seneca scored in the fifth minute of the first 10-minute overtime period to beat the Red & Green 1-0 in nonleague action.
“We held possession for most of the game. Our defensive shape was sharp the entire game,” Kathman said. “We lost two players during the game that hurt us. The girls fought hard and communicated as well as they have all preseason.”
JaLeiya Glover made eight saves in net for Jamestown (0-1-0).
“She played a great game,” Kathman said of his sophomore goalkeeper. “She made a ton of saves, the last one just got us.”
The Red & Green had six shots on net.
Jamestown will open Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association Division 1 play Wednesday at home against Southwestern.
