Cicero-North Syracuse Extend Perfect Start With 3-1 Win

Northstars seize control early

The report says CNS established its advantage before halftime through a decisive spell from Evelyn Maglente. The junior reportedly opened the scoring from the right side, finding the upper-left corner before creating the opportunity for Sloane Raymond to add a second.

That attacking efficiency has become a clear feature of the Northstars’ unbeaten run. They punished West Genesee twice before the interval, leaving the Wildcats with a difficult recovery task against a side that has shown strong pressure and pace across the pitch.

Defensive record remains central

CNS have reportedly conceded only five goals this season, a total tied for the second-lowest in Section III. The team appeared set for another clean sheet until Addison Czarny scored for West Genesee with just 1.9 seconds remaining.

The late goal could not change the outcome, but it denied the Northstars a fourth shutout. The report also says Margaret Dufort added CNS’s third goal in the second half, tapping in from a corner for her first career goal.

West Genesee searching for a response

West Genesee are reported to be 5-3-2 and winless in four matches since their first loss to CNS, with three defeats and a draw. Their early-season momentum has faded against increasingly difficult opposition.

The Northstars now face Fayetteville-Manlius on Thursday, having reportedly won the first meeting 6-0. West Genesee host Rome Free Academy on the same day. Those fixtures will offer the next test of CNS’s unbeaten start and show whether the Wildcats can halt their recent slide.
