STRONG — Lisbon High School goaltender Ali Sult stopped a second-half penalty kick to help the Greyhounds preserve a 1-1 Mountain Valley Conference deadlock with Mt. Abram on Wednesday.
Sult had five saves for the Greyhounds, who are 5-0-2 and host St. Dom’s on Friday at 3:30 p.m.
Lindsay Huff opened the scoring for the Roadrunners, slipping a shot past Sult on a breakaway midway through the first half.
Hannah Martel answered six minutes later for the Greyhounds.
Both teams had chances in the second half and overtime periods to take the lead, but Sult and Mt. Abram (2-4- 1) goaltender Abby Brackley (four saves) stood tall.
“We had a couple balls bounce around inside the 18, and Deliah (Schrieber) had a couple nice opportunities,” said Lisbon coach Jake Gentle. “They had a couple chances as well. We’re always pretty even with them. Two of the last three times we have played here we have left with a tie.”
