QUEENSBURY — The Queensbury varsity girls soccer team earned a 1-0 win over Broadalbin-Perth on Tuesday, scoring early and holding on the rest of the way.

Bayley Duffy gave the Spartans a 1-0 lead in the 10th minute, burying a pass from Meredith Montgomery. Both teams applied pressure, but neither could convert, and the game went to halftime with a 1-0 Queensbury lead.

The Patriots generated several strong scoring opportunities in the second half, but couldn’t manage to find the back of the net. Broadalbin-Perth had a pair of penalty kick opportunities, but were unable to convert on either attempt.

Shea Canavan stopped seven shots in goal for the Spartans, guiding them to a 1-0 shutout victory. Mairead Marsden made eight saves for the Patriots.

Queensbury can clinch first place in the Foothills Council with wins in its final two regular season games. The Spartans will play Amsterdam at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, and finish the regular season against Glens Falls at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
