Orchard
Park (Section Six) scored the first five goals and shut
out Penn Yan in the first half, as they won an 8-3 victory at Nazareth
College.
The Quakers scored two goals in the first quarter, the first at
10:02 when Maderer scored on an outside shot at the feet of Penn
Yan's RJ Wickham. At 4:52 Marrapese scored on a drive from a left
sweep and a bounce shot. It was 2-0 for Orchard Park at the end
of the first quarter.
Michaels was the man for OP in the second, scoring two and assisting
on the third, sending the Quakers into the halftime break with a
5-0 lead. Penn Yan left the field for the halftime break, while
Orchard Park stayed at their bench area. Coach Tundo told his team, "They're
going to go after one at a time. Keep doing what your 're doing".
The Mustangs did come back, at the top of the third quarter. Matt
Osgood scored just 0:55 into the quarter when he received a feed
on the crease from Ryan Cook and scored with a wrist shot just past
the OP's goalie's head. At 3:15 Michaels scored another for OP with
a drive and a shot off stick low. Mustang middie, John Linnan finished
the third quarter, scoring when Penn Yan forced a full field fast
break clear and when he received an inside feed from Ryan Cook.
Orchard Park was ahead 6-2 after three quarters.
The Last quarter belonged to the Quakers who scored two more, each
on an unassisted drive, one by Jacobs and one by Michaels. Penn
Yan's Ty Trombley scored the last goal of the game with 0:03 left
in regulation.
It was an untypically hard day for the Mustangs who had difficulty
possessing the ball. After exciting defensive take aways, the Mustangs
would often miss-pass or drop a ball and end up back on defense.
Orchard Park, with many big and strong players seemed at times to
intimidated Penn Yan, who when driving to the goal sometimes just
bumped off the bigger defenseman. There was little offensive time
for PY as the Quakers routinely passed the ball around the offensive
box area, taking 15-20 seconds off the clock before setting up a
run at the goal. Pairing players like Michaels and Jacobs, OP would
draw a double from the Mustangs and pass the ball to adjacent player
who would get an unencumbered shot on Wickham who made 10s/8ga (56%).
The Mustangs, who typically play the best competition that Coach
Hobart can find, move to 12-5.
Scoring for Orchard Park were Maderer (1g), Marrapese (1g), Michaels
(4g-1a), Jacobs (2g-1a), Lallei (1a) and Collins (1a). Ashort had
6s/3ga for OP (12-4).

Trobley (1g). Wickham had 10s/8/ga (56%) for the Mustangs.

with 2:31 left in the game to give Eastridge a
7-6 victory over Brighton. Scoring for the Lancers were Brandon
Moynihan (5g), Matt Driffill (1g-1a), Alex Austin (1g), Todd Horne
(1a), and Kevin Mahler (1a). Eugene Ferrera made 7s/6ga (54%) for
Eastridge (11-5). No
report from Brighton.
