NEWARK VALLEY — Tioga scored twice in the first half, and tacked on a pair of insurance goals in the second half on its way to a 4-0 win over Newark Valley here Monday afternoon in Section IV, Division III field hockey action.

Tioga, which won just two games last year, improves to 4-8 on the season.

"We really played a solid game, with most of the play in their half of the field," said Tioga coach Aubrey Worthing.

"We made great passes and were aggressive," noted Worthing. "We had a lot of shots on goal and is something we need to capitalize on that in the games going forward."

Sindoni put the Tigers on the board late in the first quarter.
