PINE VALLEY, NY – Nicole and Caitlin Jennings connected on the only goal of the game, lifting the Houghton Highlanders past the Elmira Golden Eagles on Wednesday afternoon, 1-0.
 
The Highlanders turned in a dominant performance in their final Empire 8 matchup of the season, but failed to find the back of the cage until the 28^th minute when Caitlin Jennings slid a through ball to Nicole Jennings on the right side of the net and the elder sister cracked home the eventual game-winner. 
 
The Houghton defense remained strong throughout, allowing only four shots, as goalkeeper Sarah Olandt made three saves for the team's second shutout of the season.
