Taconic 3, Baystate 2

SPRINGFIELD — As far as responses go, the Thunder have put together a pretty strong one.

After losing in five sets to rival Pittsfield after leading 2-0 on Monday night, Taconic went to Williamstown and beat reigning Class C champion Greylock in five sets on Wednesday, and then took down Class B runner-up Baystate Academy Friday night, also on the road and also in five sets.

Taconic took the match 22-25, 25-17, 19-25, 25-21, 15-11. It was the team’s four straight five-setter and fifth of the season.

“We would love to be able to win in three or four as that would help our ranking more than five-set wins do, but looking on the bright side, we are getting lots of practice winning the shorter fifth set in a higher pressure situation,” wrote coach Lance Fyfe. “Sophie Aubin was huge defensively tonight with 28 digs making Ella Stodden’s life a lot easier as far as setting goes. Ella had a season-high 40 assists dishing out sets to tonight’s top hitters, Angelese Ward-Green (season-high 16 kills), Gracie Cormier (9 kills), and Aurora Rose-Dimarco (7 kills).

Stodden added 18 digs, while Aubin had 28. Lexi Murphy-Malloy put in six aces for Taconic (4-4).

BOYS SOCCER

Taconic 3, Wahconah 2

PITTSFIELD — A natural hat trick by Fred Yankey made Wahconah’s hill too steep to climb in a Saturday matinee matchup with Taconic.

Yankey staked the Thunder a 2-0 lead at halftime, finishing assists by Josh Alvarez and Lucas Parise.

“Starting the second half Fred Yankey scored his third goal, this time unassisted but thanks to the hard work of the play behind him from Lucas Parise and Samuel Latorre,” wrote coach Jason Keller. “Wahconah made the game interesting scoring two goals towards the end of the second half, but Taconic played hard enough to the final whistle.”

Keller credited Steven Orellana on the defense for stemming multiple Warrior attacks. Taconic is 3-4. Wahconah was unbeaten before back-to-back games in Pittsfield. After losing to the Generals and Thunder, the Warriors are 3-2-2.

Greylock 1, Hampshire 0

WILLIAMSTOWN — The Mounties needed a win Friday after consecutive losses, and they got one with a victory over Hampshire at home.

Jin Namkoong’s second-half tally off a Kofi Roberts assist proved the difference. The goal came in the 72nd minute, after Ward Bianchi and the defense had kept the Raiders away. Bianchi made three saves in the shutout for Greylock (4-2)
