| NYS Western Regionals to Section V |
June 5, 2007 - Section Five teams won their games against Buffalo today and will advance to play Section Three teams on Thursday at St. John Fisher College. Geneva was an 18-10 winner over Hamburg and Penn Yan won an 14-0 shutout from East Aurora. Irondequoit used a very strong third quarter to win an 11-6 game against Orchard Park, whose four year winning streak against Section Five ended.

class tournament. The State changed to three classes in 2000.

The Panthers started off the third quarter with six unanswered goals to take
