Evan Ogden tied the game off an assist by Logan Harris before Gavin Gries scored the game-winner in the 77th minute, assisted by Ogden.

South held a 9-6 advantage in shots on goal. Brayden Frei had five saves for the Mounties and Conor Irwin recorded seven for the Red Raiders.

Montoursville’s Gavin Cott scored in the 61st minute to give the Warriors a late one-goal lead, but Athens tied it up a minute later on a goal by Sean Clare. Both teams went into two overtime periods, but weren’t able to put in a game-winner as the two schools ended in a 1-1 draw.

Quinn Winslow assisted on Cott’s goal. Mason Morrow had eight saves to prevent Athens from winning.

• Mackenzie Lopez dished out two assists to help Milton defeat Selinsgrove, 4-1, and in the process reached 50 career assists. The Black Panther, who has 71 career goals, is the first Milton girls player to ever record 50 goals and 50 assists in a career.

“I am so proud of her. It’s not very often you see a soccer player get both 50 goals and 50 assists. It’s usually one or the other,” Milton coach Rod Harris said. “She has been double-teamed all season long and has figured out how to own her role in existence by assisting and finding a way to get her teammates involved.

“She has matured a great deal from a powerful goal scorer to a finessing assist player. It is fun to watch,” Harris added.

Loyalsock lost to Shikellamy, 7-1. Shikellamy scored four first-half goals to take the lead. Jillian Deivert led the Braves with a hat trick en route to her 50th career goal.

Stillman scored on a through ball into the box from senior Pius Atubire, drilling a shot into the lower left netting to give Lycoming (9-3-4 overall, 6-0-1 Landmark) the lead. Wilkes managed just two shots after that, neither on net, as the Warriors locked down on defense to help senior Nick Wilke earn his ninth shutout of the year, as he made one save on the evening.

Wilkes is now tied for third in program history with Chris Solecki (2018) and Josh Gildea (2015) with the nine shutouts this year, two away from the program record of 11 set by Connor Keenan in 2014.

The Warriors had 10 corners in the game and took 12 shots, with sophomore Thomas Greyer taking two shots on goal.

Bucknell pressed St. Bonaventure for 90 minutes and controlled possession throughout, but the Bison could not find the finishing touch and settled for a 0-0 draw with St. Bonaventure in a non-conference game.

The Bison outshot the Bonnies 17-5 and piled up a whopping 13-2 edge in corner kicks but St. Bonaventure goalkeeper Jules Dechert was up to the task with seven saves, including a couple of point-blank stops.

Bucknell keeper Jake Nicoll made one save, a good one on a hard, low shot Dean Mercer in the 15th minute, and Nicoll earned his first career shutout. St. Bonaventure (6-5-4) had a high-scoring side this season. The Bonnies had scored multiple goals in eight of its previous 14 games and had only been shut out twice all year.

• Freshman Mikayla Long, a Lewisburg graduate, scored in the 61st minute to help the Lycoming College women’s soccer team pick up a point to stay in a tie for fifth place in the Landmark Conference standings with its school-record sixth draw of the year, 1-1, at Wilkes University in Landmark Conference action.

The Warriors (5-3-6 overall, 1-2-4 Landmark) were the first to capitalize, Long caught up to a cross from first-year Kaitlyn Born, tipping the ball past the keeper for her eighth goal of the year.

Wilkes (3-5-6 overall, 1-3-3 Landmark) tied the game in the 87th minute, as Jordyn Jennings headed in a ball after a Wilkes corner.

Senior Abbey Gerasimoff made three saves for the Warriors and Hanna Landis stopped six for the Colonels, as both teams took 12 shots in the game.

• Junior Jessica Ahart had 11 of the Lycoming College volleyball team’s 36 kills as the hard-hitting offense helped Lycoming clinch a winning season for the first time since 2019 with a 3-0 (25-13, 25-23, 25-18) win over Penn State-Harrisburg in non-conference action.

The Warriors (13-6 overall) clinched a winning mark for the 10th time in coach Tim McMahon’s 23 years at the helm of the program.

Lycoming had 12 kills in each of the three sets, while limiting the Nittany Lions (8-11 overall) to two seven-kill sets to clinch the win.
