As far as opening impressions go, the Baldwinsville field hockey team could hardly have done better. The Bees went up against defending Section III Class A champion Rome Free Academy last Wednesday afternoon and toyed with the Black Knights from start to finish, often finding the back of the net in a 4-0 shutout of the Black Knights. Granted, RFA had many different players to replace from its 2009 title team, and it was playing on grass instead of its home artificial surface. Still, B’ville put together the kind of performance necessary to make a title run in 2010. Comfortable with its attack, the Bees stayed in RFA’s end most of the game, converting twice to take a 2-0 halftime lead. Then it added two more goals in the late going, never letting the Black Knights counter. Four different players – Paige McKenna, Lindsay Varga, Natalie Lynch and Andrea Davaro – came up with the four B’ville goals. Sierra Earle fed them with a pair of assists.
