Avery Meehan's two goals gave him 14 for the season and helped unbeaten Delhi rally for a 3-1 Midstate Athletic Conference boys soccer win over visiting Greene on Wednesday.

The Trojans' Corey Dietrich opened the scoring 5 minutes in with a 25-yard goal to the far post.

Meehan tied it four minutes later, receiving a throughball from Ryan Taylor and beating Greene goalie Curtis Richards. Mike Morales gave the Bulldogs a 2-1 lead with 27 minutes left. From the middle of the field, Morales drove a 20-yard shot over Richards.

Meehan made it a two-goal spread with 10 minutes left for Delhi (7-0, 5-0).

"We came out a little flat, but at halftime we made some adjustments and discussed what needed to be done," Delhi coach Brian Rolfe said. "We played much better in the second half. We passed the ball, controlled it and made some good runs."

The Bulldogs play at Unatego on Friday.

Mount Markham (7-1, 3-0) played a long ball into the box that bounced over a Cooperstown defender and to Ixlaj, who settled it before setting up Davis from close range.

"(Ixlaj) made a nice pass," Redskins coach Frank Miosek said. "The ball bounced over him and the fullback and he made a nice collection. Then he showed his game knowledge to pass it away."

Cooperstown (4-2, 2-1), which was outshot, 10-7, had two good scoring chances. Brandon Lane hit the crossbar in the first half, and with two seconds left, Nick Summers headed a ball that Jared Drymond saved.
