Half Hollow Hills West vs Commack

HIGHLIGHTS

Hills West 1, Commack 0: Zach Wernick scored his first career varsity goal in the sixth minute in a non-league at Commack. Half Hollow Hills West -- a Class A program -- has now defeated the two Suffolk AA final participants by 1-0 scores in the last three days (including a victory on Tuesday against finalist Newfield). It was Commack's first home loss since Oct. 29, 2018, a 2-1 defeat against Whitman. Hills West is now 153-4-9 when scoring first since 2008, according to coach Doug Gannon. A bad pass and poor touch created a possible opportunity in Commack's defensive end. Wernick hustled for the loose ball, carried it inside the 18-yard box and blasted a rocket to the short side to give Hills West (2-0) a 1-0 lead 5:39 into the game. That was the only shot on goal the Colts would get, and all they would need. Commack (0-1) dominated possession (by most estimates, 80-to-20) but could never find the back of the net. Alex Wolk (4 saves in the first half) and Rocco Dispinseri (second half) combined for 10 saves and the shutout.
