Monday: Last Day (Almost)
May 16, 2005  -  Pittsford beat R-H today and will host Thomas on Tuesday, but the rest of the teams in Section Five are now finished with the regular season.

Like many great lacrosse games, the Penfield victory over Fairport was dominated by great defense by both teams starting with the goalies. As good as Fairport's Geoff Mayor was, Penfield's Brian Dell was even better, making almost uncountable point blank saves at dramatic times. His efforts were more appreciated as his defensive unit protecting him keep the Raider shooters outside for most of the game and kept their best dodgers from getting many shots. Luke Prattico and John Butt had a number of key take aways and Evander Wilson added a number of key clears.

Penfield came right back with a drive from behind the cage resulting in an unassisted goal by Jason Knerr at 2:07. The half ended with Penfield up 3-1.
  
The Patriots started in man up in the third on a carry over penalty and made good use of it, scoring at 11:50 (Mike Thon from Rice). A goal at 9:16 by Rice (assisted by Knerr) would be the last goal of the game by Penfield. The Raiders finished the quarter on a high note scoring in man up at 1:53 when Ryan Lowe scored (unassisted). The quarter ended with the Patriots up 5-2.
  
Dramatic defense was the name of the game in the last quarter as the goalies and their defensemen kept the ball out of the net for more than eight minutes. The Red Raiders brought their fans to their feet at 3:45 when Mike Danylyshyn scored on a pass from Pat Reilly to bring Fairport within two. Penfield won the face off but lost the ball resulting in an unassisted goal by Lowe at 1:07 to bring the score to 5-4. Although Fairport was able to get eventually get the ball to their offensive end, a last second shot went off the pipe and Penfield finished their perfect record season.
