Schroeder 9 - Pittsford 5

updated redspot Webster Schroeder scored three unanswered goals in the fourth quarter to guarantee the win over visiting Pittsford, 9-5.schro-pitt

The game was close for three quarters, with the Warriors taking a 4-2 lead in the first and a smaller, 5-4 lead at the half. Schroeder led 6-5 at the end of the third before adding three more in the last quarter.

Pittsford secured possession of the ball for five minutes at the start of the game. Passing the ball around the perimeter, the Panthers were methodically and patient, effectively keeping the ball away from Schroeder. The Panthers scored the first goal at 7:15 when James Purpura scored the first of his three goals with a hard underhand shot from the goalie's left front. Although the Panthers controlled the ball after the next face off, the Warriors forced a turnover and took the ball up field where after a loose ball pickup by Mike Tota, Cody Consul received a crease feed while unattended and he scored at 5:52.

After the face off, senior middie Nick Mooney took the ball right to the goal and scored with a hard side-arm shot to stick side middle. Schroeder scored their third in a row in EMO when Joe Matison sent the ball from "X" to Mooney who scored with an underhand "worm burner" at 3:01. Chris Mason scored the last Schroeder goal of the quarter at 1:55 with a bounce shot the ended up in the top of the net, just over Brendan Green's shoulder. After the next face off Purpura fed Jimmy O`Neil, just off the crease to end the quarter with Schroeder up 4-2.

After starting the second quarter in EMO, Pittsford scored (right after the advantage) when David Quinzi sent the ball to Purpura who was low on the crease taking the Panthers within one goal. Pittsford controlled the ball time for much of the quarter as the Warriors saw a total of five slashes in the first half. That, combined with Pittsford's slow-down offense kept the Panthers in the game. Purpura scored the tying goal at 1:20 after a shot bounced of Scott Tota's chest pad. He caught the ball right of the richoche and quick-sticked the ball into the open net. The tie was short-lived, however as Mike Tota scored an unassisted goal for Webster after picking up a loose crease ball, dodging his defender and scoring one-one one with the Green. The half ended with Schroeder up 5-4.

schro-pittA thirty-second push call at the end of the second quarter gave Pittsford the ball in EMO at the top of the third quarter but they were unable to score. The ball moved back and forth from one end of the field to the other until, at 4:12, Pittsford tied the game at five with a goal by Tom Schmitz with an assist from Conor McDermott. Webster took the lead once more with Tota scoring on a pass from Consul with 44 second left in the quarter which ended with Schroeder up 6-5.

The defensive units on both teams were in high gear throughout the game. The defensive play of Joe Dupra, Tyler Prichard and Justin McLiverty in the third quarter were aggressive but patient and limited the Warriors from getting shots that Green could not save. Green made some excellent saves at critical times and kept the game close enough to expect the offense to do their part. Webster's defensive unit of Shane Farrell, Eric Horeth and Michael Blood challenged the Panthers at every opportunity and looked for every chance to double up on the ball. Sometimes they created the turn over and sometimes Pittsford beat the double, although they rarely found the open man after dodging those doubles. Webster's defense was successful at holding Conor McDermott (20g-10a) to a single assist in the game.

Schroeder extended their lead after the face off when Joe Matison drove to the corner of the crease and stuck one into the corner of the net. Ball control had switched from Pittsford to Webster, and the Warriors held on to the ball. Although they had many feeds to crease cutters, they did not often result in shots as the ball was knocked down or deflected. Webster often picked up the resulting ground balls and Pittsford started to run out of gas. Webster scored two more while keeping the Panthers scoreless in the fourth. Nick Mooney scored the last two goals, the first with an assist from Consul to the high crease and the second unassisted.

The final score of 9-5 did not reflect the closeness and intensity of the game. Schroeder's five slash calls in the first half fed Pittsford's successful slow-down offense and the Panthers had many good looks, some of which were missed opportunities, but their patience on both offense and defense let them play even ball for three quarters. Schroeder recovered from the penalties, none of which were scored on, and chipped away until they were able (and ready) to take advantage of Pittsford fourth quarter let up. The game was good lacrosse.

Scoring for Schroeder were Cody Consul (1g-2a), Nick Mooney (4g), Chris Mason (1g), Mike Tota (2g-1a) and Joe Matison (1g-1a). Scott Tota had 8s/5ga for Schroeder (5-4).

McQuaid scored the first goal as Mitch Ritchie scored on a fast-break feed from John Jenkins. Ritchie finished with 4g-2a. His goals were often pretty and over the top, including two behind the back goals with one goal where he spun around in a circle and finished with a behind the back goal into the upper corner. Jassen Torres scored the first goal for the Little Irish on feed from behind the cage from Austin Gorman. McQuaid then started the first three goal run.

There were three man-down goals in the game with two for McQuaid and one for Aquinas. Aquinas scored the next goal with an EMO goal by Marc Brondon, assisted by Anthony Bianchi. The Knights goal was scored by Ritchie on the spinning behind the back shot to the top shelf. On his way to the crease to execute the move, he dodged four different Little Irish players. Aquinas scored the next goal during another man-up opportunity as Cameron Corsaro scored off a feed from Gorman with 0:23 remaining in the half. The final goal of the quarter was by McQuaid during a face-off fast-break. Tim Caton fed the ball to MacDonald for his second goal of the game. The score was 7-4 at halftime.

mcq-aqThe teams continued to scored back and forth with only one slight exception. Mike Gray, of Aquinas scored with a feed from Torres during yet another EMO. Ritchie's fourth goal came off a broken clear and his second behind the back goal as Pat Jenkins found him cutting on the crease. Aquinas scored the next two goals to bring the game with one goal (8-7). Bianchi scored during man-down (with an assist for Casey Vogl) and one minute later Gorman scored with a straight dodge from the midfield line after a restart. The Little Irish were the closest they would ever be. The Knights scored the next two goals to keep the pattern of back and forth going. Nick Caton scored unassisted with an outside shot to finished the quarter 9-7.

The first goal of the fourth quarter was also by McQuaid. Jeff MacDonald scored his first of three goals in the fourth quarter with an EMO goal, assisted by Eric Wright. Aquinas scored the next goal with Mike Gray (assisted by Gorman) scoring on a feed from behind the cage on their fourth EMO goal. McQuaid scored the second three goal streak at this point with JD Ayer scoring (assisted by Caton) and two more MacDonald goals (the first assisted by Flanigan and the second by Ritchie). Dylan Pinto added the last goal of the game for Aquinas with a straight sweep from the top after a time-out for the Little Irish.

The Knights played a strong consistent game and used a couple of lapses by the Little Irish to win. MacDonald and Ritchie combined on attack to overwhelm the Little Irish defense. Casey Vogl and Mike Messina were strong at the face-off for the Little Irish as Vogl finished 7/10 and Messina 7/11. Clint Masterson for McQuaid was 7/13.

Penalties were a major issue for both teams. Although no Little Irish had double penalties, McQuaid's Mitch Bailey, Tim Caton, Pat Jenkins and Mike Micca all had more then one penalty.

Sectional Rankings - Week 5

- After some important match ups, we are finally starting to see some "shake out" in Class A.

   
CLASS A  
We finally get to shake up Class A shakes up this week after a number of important games: Penfield defeating Irondequoit, Schroeder defeating Fairport, and Pittsford beating both Gates Chili and RH. Pittsford steps up as a strong competitor with their first MC-1 win in a while and demonstrates that they are stronger than MC-3 powerhouse Gates-Chili. Schroeder also demonstrated that they are not to be taken lightly with their very big 13-4 win over Fairport.
  
Penfield’s 11-7 win over Irondequoit moves them into the second spot. We still feel that Canandaigua is the team to beat, with Penfield and Irondequoit close behind. The second time that the Patriots and Eagles face each other will be a game to watch.
  
This week we move away from Honorable Mention and rank the top 8 teams in A. McQuaid stays strong at 7-4 even though they lost to Livonia.

    
CLASS B
Class B has one addition this week. In looking forward to the "Final Four" and after the HFL v. Eastridge game this week, we are inserting the Cougars into the fourth spot of Class B. Aquinas and Victor stay strong in second and third. Even after a tough loss to defending State Champion, Jamesville-DeWitt, the Panthers hold on to the number one spot.

    
CLASS C
Class C also remains the same. This week will see some key games for the Class C rankings. On Tuesday, Bath and Livonia will face each other for the second time this season, Bath will look for the first GRALL win and Livonia will look for a more dominant win than their 7-5 win on April 8th. Waterloo faces Pal-Mac for the second time and this time with their roster back to strength and hope to reassert themselves with the victory.

  
GAMES THIS WEEK
Most of the big games this week are on Tuesday where we will see Penfield and Fairport, Pittsford and Schroeder, Bath and Livonia and Geneva and Victor in exciting match ups. On Thursday, Irondequoit and Schroeder play their round two game.
