Copenhagen rallied from an early deficit to defeat Parishville-Hopkinton 3-1 in a Class D first-round state playoff game Wednesday, Nov. 4, at Lowville Academy and Central School in Lowville.
Parishville-Hopkinton took a first-half lead on an own goal. Caleb Thenn tied the game on a penalty kick just before halftime, and Copenhagen added two goals in the second half. Bryce Spaulding was involved in one of those goals.
The win sent Copenhagen into a state quarterfinal against Section 7 champion Chazy at noon Saturday at Indian River. Chazy entered the matchup with a 20-0 record, according to the available game information.
Copenhagen reached the state tournament after a 0-0 draw with Fabius-Pompey through overtime and a 4-3 victory in the ensuing penalty-kick shootout. That result gave Copenhagen a share of the Section 3 Class D title.
The loss ended Parishville-Hopkinton's eight-game winning streak. The Panthers had won the Section X Class D championship before Wednesday's game.
Copenhagen's boys soccer team is making its first state tournament run, according to the available reporting. The school's girls soccer team also reached the Section 3 Class D semifinals.
