Division 4
No. 1 Petaluma 3, No. 16 Justin-Siena 2 (OT)
A back-and-forth battle between two Vine Valley Athletic League opponents ended in dramatic fashion as the Trojans escaped an upset by the Braves with a strange game-winning goal in overtime.
With the score tied 2-2 in the first extra period, a shot by Jordan Tetreau was stopped and smothered by Justin-Siena’s goalkeeper. However, as the keeper rose from his feet, the ball slipped from his grasp and bounced past the line, giving Petaluma the sudden-death victory.
It’s the first playoff win for the Trojans (8-6-6) since 2015.
Tetreau and Tyler Lamansky scored the first two goals of the game for Petaluma. The game was tied 1-1 at halftime before the Trojans scored early in the second half, only for the Braves (7-13-4) to answer with a goal with 20 minutes to play.
