PITTSFORD 10 - FAIRPORT 9  - SEMI - Class A’s other Semi-Final also required extra time to decide would face the Royal Comets in the Championship Game.  Ultimately Pittsford won on a unorthodox goal as the ball crossed Fairport’s goal line just as time was about to expire in the third Overtime Period.  Neither team could find much breathing room throughout the back and forth contest, and the regulation ended in a 9-9 Tie.  However Pittsford's Overtime Tally gave them a 10-9 Victory, and a chance to defend their 2021 Sectional Title.  Playing the role of underdog, Fairport gave the defending Champion Pittsford Panthers all they could handle behind 3 goals from Lily Kondas, 1 goal and 4 assists from Morgan Wrobbel, and 2 goals apiece for Ella Peers and Katie Mallaber.  Jaelyne Twomey turned away 7 Pittsford shots for the Red Raiders in goal.
