Allegany rallies to beat Southern, 2-1

CUMBERLAND — Allegany scored two goals in the final five minutes to come from behind and steal a 2-1 victory from Southern Saturday at Greenway Avenue Stadium in the opening contest for both schools.

The Campers controlled the ball for most of the evening, taking 23 shots to Southern’s six. Allegany keeper Ryan Marchini finished the day with two saves, and Cory Murphy had 11 for the Rams.

Allegany won the jayvee 5-0. Brooke Knieriem had five saves in the shutout, while Corey Knipple scored two goals. Derek Fuller, Breyer Hillegas and Mike Bise also scored for the Campers.
