OLEAN - In their two Chautauqua Cattaraugus Division I regular season games this season, Olean High School got the better of Southwestern, but only by the slimmest of margins.

The Huskies won the first meeting at home, 2-0, and needed overtime to edge the Trojans, 2-1, when the two schools met in Lakewood.

On Tuesday, it was Southwestern getting the upper hand.

Tyler Haag’s goal on the sixth shootout penalty kick lifted 10th-seeded Southwestern into Friday’s quarterfinal round, courtesy of a 4-3 shootout decision after the two teams played to a scoreless tie after 110 minutes of regulation and overtime play.

Jason Carlson, Steve Warden and Josh Bogle also scored for Southwestern (8-5-4) in the shootout portion of the game.

Finding the net for No. 7 Olean High (7-7-3) were Louis Proto, Matt Witte and Brandon Jones.

“We had them,” said OHS coach Jim Charles. “In the shootout, we had two golden chances to win it in the first five shootout attempts.

“Our fourth shot hit the side post and their goalie made a great stop on our fifth shot. And our sixth penalty kick hit the crossbar as well.”

JD Olson recorded nine saves for the Huskies while Kevin Marsh stopped six shots for Southwestern in a game that saw each team register 19 shots.

“Heading into the playoffs, there were to teams I was leary about matching up against,” said Charles. “Falconer and Southwestern ... both of them finished the regular season strong.”
