Talia Valenti's group is off to a fast start after beating Amsterdam (Foothills Council) & the Academy of Holy Names on back-to-back nights, losing just one set in the process.

Women's soccer:

Current record: 1-1-1 (1-1 Colonial Council).

Year 2 for Jarret Farrell got off to a rocky start, getting drubbed by Schalmont, 11-0, before taking an overtime win over Holy Names. A non-league match vs. ancient rival Albany ended in a 2-2 draw.

Next: The Lady Horses are on the road this week, at Ravena Tuesday night, and Hoosic Valley (Wasaren League) on Friday.
