Here we go with today’s games. I was at the Mahopac (9th seed)-Ossining (8th seed) first-round Class A game won by the “O”, 4-2.

Ossining led 3-0 at halftime on goals by eighth-grader Molly Moran, her first varsity score, Kate Malone and Katie O’Hanlon. Mahopac closed to within 3-1 on Caitlin Baranowski’s goal four minutes into the second half, but O’Hanlon answered with her second of the game to restore a three-goal lead. Annie Carroll closed out the scoring.

Molly Malone jumped on a rebound (on Ossining’s first penalty corner of the game) and deposited the ball at the 8:21 mark. Kate Malone had the goal of the game, picking up a loose ball just outside the 25, breaking away from the Mahopac defense. Malone, angling left to right, came across the goalmouth and with Mahopac goalie Kellie McCormack diving, slipped the ball under her at the 21-minute mark. Kate Malone set up O’Hanlon’s goal with 41 seconds in the half, putting a centering pass on O’Hanlon’s stick and all she had to do was sweep it in.

Ossining’s (9-7-3) reward for winning is a quarterfinal game with top-seeded and undefeated Mamaroneck (18-0) Saturday, 2 p.m. at Flint Park in Larchmont on the turf field. Mahopac concludes with a 7-7-5 record.

In the other Class A game, No. 7 Arlington (8-6-3) defeated No. 10 Yorktown, 3-0. Arlington has earned a date at No. 2 Fox Lane (10-3-3) Saturday, 2 p.m.

Class B

Three games in Class B, all decided by one goal. The most exciting was No. 8 Our Lady of Lourdes clipping No. 9 Sleepy Hollow, 2-1 in penalty strokes. The game was all even at 1-1 after regulation and the two 10-minute 7-v.-7s. Lourdes advanced by virtue of a 2-1 win in strokes. Dara Brennan, assisted by Andrea Alvarez, evened the score at 1-1 in the second half for Sleepy Hollow (5-6-7). Despite the loss, it is the third consecutive season coach Kelly Jarer has guided Sleepy Hollow to sectionals. Lourdes (7-7-3) now has the pleasure of facing No. 1 Lakeland (16-2) Saturday, 2 p.m. in a quarterfinal. … Somers, seeded 6th, defeated Pelham, the 11 seed, 1-0 on a Samantha Toscano goal in the second half, assisted by Jenna Forte. Somers (7-6-4) travels to No. 3 Putnam Valley (16-2) for a 2:30 p.m. Saturday game, also a quarterfinal. Pelham goalie Caroline McCarthy made 11 saves in defeat. … Tenth-seeded Pleasantville surprised seventh-seeded Irvington, 1-0 on a Meaghan Butler penalty stroke in the second half. Chelsea Brooks made 10 saves for the Panthers while Irvington (7-6-2) goalie Allison Gutman stopped 12 shots.  Pleasantville will be at No. 2 Rye (16-1-1) tomorrow for a 3:30 p.m. quarterfinal.

    Pleasantville played a great game as did Irvington.But it was not as close as the score may indicate.2 goals where called back due to sudden blindness of the male ref.
