WILLIAMSPORT -- Junior forward Amber Shumaker ended a long, scoreless battle with an unassisted goal from the left side with less than two minutes remaining in the second overtime to give Williamsport a 1-0 victory over Boonsboro on Tuesday night in the MVAL Antietam. "I did it for the seniors. It was all for them," Shumaker said. "At first, I didn't think it was going in. I thought it was going wide. It hit the right post and bounced in. I didn't believe it. It was just great.

bobp@herald-mail.com The Boonsboro soccer team took the easy way out in a complicated situation. After 80 minutes of soccer with South Hagerstown on Tuesday, it all came down to one-and-done time in overtime. And that meant it was time to reduce the difficulty factor to get a winning goal.

By MARK KELLER / Sports Editor photo: JOE CROCETTA / staff photographer WILLIAMSPORT - If you take what Brunswick coach Jim Sklencar says to heart, the next two games between his Railroaders and Williamsport this season could be incredible to see. The first meeting - in Tuesday's final of the Richard E. Doub Classic - certainly was. What appeared to be a sure win for the Railroaders midway through the fourth quarter turned...

FREDERICK, Md - St. John's at Prospect Hall boys basketball coach Rich Fairley didn't like seeing his team take the treacherous route to the promised land. But just getting there was the objective, and his Vikings accomplished that with a 58-51 overtime victory over St. Maria Goretti. The Vikings allowed Goretti to control the tempo of the game, but still managed to get the win with a productive extra period. In overtime, St. John's-PH managed to score 14 points, more than it scored in each of the final three periods of regulation.

The New York Rangers scored their only goal in the first minute. Then the Washington Capitals made home-ice advantage work. And in this series, home ice has been critical. Nine minutes, 24 seconds into overtime, Mike Ribeiro was stationed by the crease to put in a deflected shot to give the Capitals a 2-1 win over the Rangers, restoring Washington's lead - as well as its momentum - in the first-round playoff series. Washington's Braden Holtby made 24 saves as the Capitals took a 3-2 series lead, with the home team winning every game.

Puck over glass. The New York Rangers don't score. Puck over glass. “Casual Mike” does. The NHL's black-and-white delay-of-game rule found a gray area late in regulation, then tipped the balance of the game twice in overtime. The Washington Capitals held firm when they were a man down, then won it on Mike Green's latest extra-time winner, topping the Rangers 1-0 Saturday to take a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Confelly returned to the ice thanks to the rule that sends a player to the box when he “shoots or bats” the puck “directly” over the glass while in his defensive zone.

North Hagerstown boys basketball coach Kevin Hartman stood at the exit of the locker room, offering 1-on-1 thoughts to his players as they left. No doubt, each message included a sincere 'thank you' for the effort the Hubs gave not only on Thursday night, but for the entire season, one in which the Hubs were not expected to achieve record-wise what they did. And that record ended at 17-6 after a heart-stomping 81-72 loss in overtime to Einstein in...

The Hagerstown Community College men's basketball team proved you can't lose a game in the first half. And you can survive a setback at the end of regulation. But in overtime, it has to be winning time. And for the Hawks on Wednesday, it wasn't. Baltimore's Sean Farr drove the lane for an acrobatic, highly contested layup with 3 seconds remaining in the extra period to defeat HCC 81-79 in the men's half of a basketball doubleheader at the HCC athletic center. HCC's women defeated Baltimore 65-52 in the opener.

High school athletes strive to win every game, but one game is circled on the calendars of every senior - Senior Night. Senior Night is the one last chance to go out in front of your home crowd and perform in front friends, family and loved ones. Tuesday night, the Greencastle-Antrim Blue Devils' seniors were sent off in a grand way with a 60-56 overtime victory over rival Mid-Penn Colonial rival James Buchanan.  “You know it's was very fitting (to end the season) with a climatic, epic, tight game against your rivals,” Greencastle  coach Gary Martin said.

The Boonsboro boys soccer team found all that glitters is not a golden goal. Especially when you don't score it. It all tarnished for the Warriors in quick fashion when Jacob Gosselin popped in a point-blank goal in the 91st minute - the first minute of the second overtime - on Monday to give Francis Scott Key the sudden goal for a sudden 3-2 victory. “That's what happens during a golden goal,” said Boonsboro coach Roy Rickerds. “It was just how it goes tonight.” But, in reality, the Warriors went from being on the doorstep of a victory with five minutes remaining to tied with under two left in regulation to walking off in sudden death in 16 minutes of playing time.

With a hint of fog moving in on Mike Callas Stadium, North Hagerstown put an end to the proceedings that reached overtime with a 1-0 victory over Linganore on Tuesday night. Senior Neal Dossouvi was in the right place to score his first goal of the season three minutes into overtime to break a two-game loss streak for the Hubs (5-4). Often in the second half, Connor Troxell worked his way to the corner, looking to get the ball inside but to no avail. The Hubs couldn't connect. But it worked in overtime as Troxell looped a ball just inside the penalty box. Dossouvi sighted the ball on the ground and knocked in his shot pass Linganore goalie Nick Weinel.

Hagerstown Community College's effort extended past regulation in its men's soccer battle against Anne Arundel. But, unfortunately, the Pioneers used their heads to stop the Hawks. Anne Arundel's Rob Engel connected on a header from the left side of the net to score the winning goal on Wednesday in a 3-2 overtime victory over HCC in a Maryland JuCo Conference game. Alex Moore's throw-in from the right corner found Engel, who put a quick end to the game in the 99th minute for Anne Arundel (3-2-1, 2-1)

Hard to blame Capitals forward Brooks Laich - or anyone who played in Washington's three-overtime loss to the New York Rangers - for wanting to catch up on sleep. While dozing, Laich wound up having quite a nightmare. “I woke up, and for some reason, I thought the season was over. I had a deep sleep - I had a long deep sleep - and I thought the season was over,” Laich recounted Friday. “And then it refreshed in my mind that we only lost one hockey game, that it's 2-1. We're still in a good position.” Yes, Brooks, a team needs to win four games to end a series, so there's more hockey to be played between the Capitals and Rangers, starting with Game 4 at Washington today.
