Update, 22 minutes left in first half: The game is scoreless. Briarcliff has dominated the action but has nothing to show for it. The Center Moriches made a couple saves.

Update, 21:07: Briarcliff leads 1-0. Katie Weiner scored off a rebound of a header by Liana Cornacchio.

Update, 8 minutes left: Briarcliff up 1-0. Cornacchio scored on a rebound of her own penalty kick but it was waved off. No one on the defense had touched it. Center Moriches nearly tied it when a free kick rang off the crossbar.

Update, Halftime: Briarcliff 1-0. Cornacchio has had several opportunities but has missed the net, including on the penalty kick, which hit the post. Center Moriches generated a few chances so it is in the game.

Update, 26:50 left: Weiner strikes again, scoring on a header. Briarcliff leads 2-0.

Update, 17 minutes left: Still 2-0 Briarcliff. Danielle Christiano was given a yellow card earlier in the half so she will have to be careful

Update, FINAL: Briarcliff 2-1. The Bears will play for a third straight state title tomorrow at 2 at SUNY Cortland.

The pregame activity is over, and we’re two minutes into the game. It’s getting colder as the day progresses, and the sun went into hiding a couple of hours ago.

Keep checking back for scoring updates.

Update: Mamaroneck has already survived five penalty corners without giving up a shot. Tigers ask for a timeout with 21:03 on the clock to refocus. They are playing too much defense.

Update: We’ve seen this before. Tigers were getting outplayed when they pushed into the circle for a rare opportunity. Caroline Clark scores to give Mamaroneck a 1-0 lead with 14:28 to go in the first half.

Update: All tied up. Ward Melville scores on a corner. Georgia Holland dodges Jessica Gardiner and scores with 4:22 to go before halftime.

Update: Halftime 1-1. Mamaroneck is on the short end of an 8-1 penalty corner count.

Update: More of the same, Mamroneck was applying pressure in the opening minutes of the second half and got off two shots on a corner, but are back on defense again. Patriots have a 13-2 advantage on corners, but are not able to get a good shot off.

Update: Ward Melville takes a timeout. I’m guessing they want to discuss how they have 16 penalty corners and just one goal.

Update: Ready for this? Mamaroneck gets only its third corner of the game, Jillian Richards runs onto a rebound after the Patriots goalie jumps out to make a stop and fires into the back of the cage before the defense can reset. There is 1:38 to go. Ward Melville calls time.

Update: Mamaroneck wins 2-1 and moves on.

I’m here at SUNY Cortland. Its 0-0 nine minutes in.

The score is still 0-0 with 12 minutes to play in the half. South Side has controlled possession, but hasn’t mustered many quality chances. It is incredibly windy here, which has definitely made things difficult on both teams. They really have to move the ball station to station.

Update: South Side is on the board. Its star, Crystal Dunn scored on a rebound after Jenna Marino stopped her shot with a diving save. Dunn popped the rebound into the net before Marino could get back to her feet. So South Side leads 1-0 two minutes before halftime.

Update, halftime: South Side 1, Eastchester 0. South Side has continued to control play. Eastchesher has had almost nothing you would consider a quality scoring opportunity. Marino has been solid in goal and the defense has been strong, they are just having trouble clearing the ball very far because of the wind.

Next door, the semifinal between Burnt Hills and Greece Arcadia is 1-1 at the half.

Update, 30 minutes left: OK, Eastchester appears to have generated some offense. Michelle Scarpisi had a cross into the box that the South SIde keeper grabbed just before Delia Hughes could touch it. A minute later Justine DiDonato hit a knuckle ball that gave the keeper trouble. This isn’t o
ver yet.

Update, 13 minutes left: Still 1-0 and South Side has regained control for the most part. Eastchester has made a couple runs but they have not amounted to much.

Update: FINAL – South Side wins 1-0.
