Harrisville, NY-

High school soccer season officially kicked off across the area

yesterday, with one match-up seeing the defending State Class "D"

Champions, the Copenhagen Lady Golden Knights, travelling to Harrisville to

take on the Lady Pirates.

Copenhagen will once again play in the Frontier League "B" division this

season, a move credited with helping them prepare for a State title run against

class "D" schools last season.

Copenhagen has lost a key player and State Class "D" MVP Claire Stackel to

graduation, but returns seniors Maci Spaulding, Ashley Gardener and goalie

Hope Woodruff, as they look to repeat last years success.

On Tuesday,the Lady Knights were led by three goals from Alexandra Greene

and two from Maci Spaulding, knocking off Harrisville by a score of 6-0. Katie

Best also found the net for Copenhagen, while Hope Woodruff had one save in

goal.
