Fayetteville-Manlius boys soccer advances to Class AA finals with 1-0 win over Cicero-North Syracuse

No player in Section III boys soccer has scored more than Fayetteville-Manlius' Antonino Pagano this fall. He netted his 37th goal of the season in Thursday night's Class AA semifinal between the No. 1 seeded Hornets and No. 4 Cicero-North Syracuse. Pagano's goal held up and helped Fayetteville-Manlius to a 1-0 win. The Hornets, the No. 2 team in the Class AA state rankings, improved to 17-0-1. They extended their streak of unbeaten games, which dates back to 2019, to 43. "Out of the teams that were left in the final four, (C-NS) is the team we didn't want to have to play," Fayetteville-Manlius coach Jeff Hammond said. "Luckily we got one early and our guys defended great tonight."The Hornets celebrated the game-winner, a loose-ball dribbler past traffic in front of the net, less than 10 minutes into the match. "We knew going in that we had to score the early goal," Pagano said. "It kept our energy high and it really killed (Cicero-North Syracuse's) energy." Led by Pagano and Riley Warren-Nichols, the Hornets offense steadily pressured Cicero-North Syracuse and forced Northstars goalie Wyatt Dupell to make seven saves. Fayetteville-Manlius' offense has compiled 69 goals in 17 matches. Pagano's goals have accounted for nearly 54% of that scoring. They've scored 11 goals this postseason after beating PSLA @ Fowler 10-0 in the sectional quarterfinals. "(Pagano) is just explosive, has a great shot and is strong on the ball," Cicero-North Syracuse coach Mike McCaffery said. "We sent a couple of defenders at him all night and he shrugged them off." The Hornets will play No. 3 seed Nottingham, which beat No. 2 Baldwinsville, 1-0, in the sectional finals on Monday. "I think we've really become more of a team over the last three weeks or so," Hammond said. "The guys got it done. Nino scored a nice goal and, defensively, I'm very pleased with how we played."
