SARANAC LAKE — The Saranac Lake girls soccer season came to an end on Tuesday in Champlain. The Red Storm suffered a 4-0 loss to the Northeastern Clinton Cougars in the Section VII, Class B semifinals.

Despite falling, and playing for the final time this season, Saranac Lake’s effort were a far cry from their semifinal contest one year ago.

Red Storm head coach Jason Wamsganz said.

Northeastern Clinton’s Brynn Hite recorded one goal and added an assist on Tuesday. Cougar teammates Tenley Peryer, Kylee Surprenant and Callie Racine also scored one goal each in the win while Emma Guay chipped in with an assist. The team outshot Saranac Lake 16-7.

On a windy night, Northeastern Clinton got off to a quick start when Hite’s corner kick curled into the back of the net around 7 minutes into the game.

Wamgsanz said.

The Cougars extended their lead a few minutes later, when Peryer collected a give-and-go pass from Guay and buried a goal.

After the intermission, Surprenant netted a penalty kick to push the lead to 3-0, followed by another give-and-go play from Hite to Racine to close out the contest.

Northeastern Clinton’s Tess Dumas recorded five saves en route to the shutout. The Red Storm’s goalie Emma Akey, who Wamsganz said had a solid game, had nine saves.

Wamsganz also credited the play of Zuleyka Oliveras and Tyler Burth.

With the loss, the Red Storm ends its season with a 6-9-1 record. While, the team finished the year on a six-game losing streak, Wamsganz was proud of how his team handled adversity.
