Watertown captured the Section III Class AA boys soccer championship Thursday, Oct. 29, with a 1-0 overtime victory over West Genesee in Fulton.
Senior Teagan Buckley scored the deciding goal after the game remained scoreless through regulation and most of overtime. The win completed an unbeaten season for the Cyclones and gave Watertown its first Section III title since 2017.
Watertown entered the final as the No. 2 seed, while West Genesee was the top seed. Watertown reached the championship game after defeating Oswego 3-0 in the quarterfinals and advancing past Nottingham in the semifinals. West Genesee reached the final by defeating Fulton and East Syracuse Minoa.
Watertown was ranked No. 1 in New York state’s Class AA rankings before the final. The Cyclones will play in a state regional Nov. 7 against the winner of the Section II Class AA final between Bethlehem and Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake.
That Section II final is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, at La Salle Institute. The state championships are scheduled for Nov. 13-15 at Middletown High School.
