red dot special Matt Schutz's excitement could early be contained as he realized that in his last regular season game, his Geneva Panthers after an eleven year streak, finally beat Finger Lakes powerhouse, Penn Yan on his home field. Geneva scored the first goal and although the Mustangs tied at one and three, the Panthers never fell behind on their way to an 8-4 win.

Geneva scored first, when at 10:54, John Warner scored the first of his two goals in the game (unassisted). Penn Yan came right back scoring one minute later when Chris Carlson scored his unassisted goal to tie the game at one. Much of the game was spent in moving the ball up and down the field as the defensive units knocked down, intercepted and otherwise forced turnovers. At 4:35 senior middie R.J. Gringeri scored the first of his three goals with an assist from sophomore attackman Alex Love. It was the only assisted goal by Geneva in the game. The Panthers were ahead 2-1 at the end of twelve minutes.
  
The Panthers started the second quarter with an unassisted goal by Love when dodged his defended behind the goal and shot high, while Penn Yan goalie, RJ Wickham went for the low shot at 9:12, putting Geneva up 3-1. Sophomore attackman, Cole Castle scored after the next face off. As he drove to the net, he was knocked down hard by the Geneva defense, but maintained control of the ball and made the shot while sitting on the ground. Schutz came out of the net to play the ball, leaving the net nearly open for Castle. After almost seven and a half minutes of transition play, punctuated by a number of dramatic "big stops" by Wickham, Castle scored again, this time with an assist from freshman attackman Adam Trombley. Penn Yan moved the ball quickly from behind to set up a shallow wing shot by Castle from the right. The goal tied the game at three for the halftime break.gen-py-1
  
The third quarter belonged to the Panthers who scored three goals, while holding the Mustangs scoreless. Junior middie, Jim Warner had a successful dodged from out front and scored with a bounce shot at 11:36. John Warner was next, after an eight minute scoring drought. He received the ball as he entered the field during free substitution and dodged his man on the outside, before firing a a hard bounce shot at the feet of Wickham. Kyle Boncaro scored at 1:01 for the Panthers giving them a 6-3 lead after three quarters.
  
The combination of a number of big saves by Schutz and a lack of ball time and shooting volume hurt the Mustangs, who would often loose possession of the ball quickly after their defensive team would clear the ball. The Geneva defense focused on ground ball production and gained a number of momentum-stealing possessions from Penn Yan's offense.
  
There was no scoring in the fourth quarter until John Warner scored the first of three in a row for Geneva at the 4:43 mark. While Penn Yan moved to tight man-to-man, Warner pulled his defensive midfielder to the outside, where he dodged him and set himself up for a one-one-one with the goalie and scored on a high shot to the left. Gringeri took improved the Panther margin to 5 with his unassisted goal at 2:15. The Mustangs scored the last goal of the game at 0:43 and in man up when John Linnan fed Matt Osgood who scored on a side arm shot rising high in the goal. gen-py-3

red dot special The game began with exciting play and a strong performance by Midlakes in the third quarter led to their ultimate victory over Mynderse 15-9.
 
Scoring opened in the first minute as Anthony Clark scored from his own rebound (saved by junior goalie Jared Schoonerman) at 11:08. Midlakes took the next nine minutes and scored four goals. Bounce shots seemed to be the key for the Screaming Eagles as nine of their 15 goals were scored in that manner. Overall, Midlakes used the same play to score six goals (a man drives from behind, draws the double, and the newly open outside man shoots a bounce shot). Three of the first four goals were scored by Nick Newland. Newland, a junior midfielder, led all scorers with 5g-1a. Newland's (and the team's) first goal came at 9:40 with a drive straight at the goal and a bounce shot over senior Ben LaValley. LaValley played the first half for the Blue Devils finishing with 2s/6ga.
 
The next goal utilized the drive from behind as Rob Barber drove in and found Newland for the outside bounce shot. The next goal was scored from a fast-break as Tyler Brooks-Lambert assisted Glen Stevenson. Both Stevenson and Brooks-Lambert led the team in total points with 4g-3a each. Stevenson, Brooks-Lambert and Newland each led a different category for the team's season totals (Newland - 40g, Brooks-Lambert - 24a, Stevenson - 56 points). The fourth Screaming Eagles goal was again their drive to a bounce shot with Brooks-Lambert feeding an open Newland. Mynderse scored their second goal with 1:55 remaining as Clark scored his second goal of the game. Clark drove from the top and took on four or five different defenseman and after some fancy stick-work finished with a shot low, to find the back of the crease. The final goal of the first quarter was scored by Midlakes with 0:49 remaining. Brooks-Lambert scored his first goal of the game (assisted by Ben Uveges) with their drive to a bounce pass play. The first quarter finished with Midlakes ahead 5-2.
 
The second quarter was Mynderse all the way. Mynderse scored the opening goal from a face-off fast-break by Kevin McCully. McCully was 13/18 (72%) at the face-off. The second goal of the quarter, at 6:32, was also scored by Mynderse. Josh Kurdziolek drove all the way around the back of the goal for a bounce shot on the crease that scored on Schoonerman who had a strong game with 14s/9ga (61%). On the ensuing face-off Newland won the face-off and scored on his own face-off fast-break for the Screaming Eagles. Newland finished the game 11/20 (55%) at the face. Mynderse scored the last goal of the half to bring the game to within one goal. A.J. Bachman scored (assisted by Kurdziolek) with a cross-crease goal. Schoonerman actually made the initial save, but after briefly loosing sight of the ball, allowed it to dribble into the back of the net. The score was 6-5 at the half. 
  
The opening goal of the third was scored by Mynderse to tie the game at 6. Clark scored for the third time using the same play that helped him score his second. Clark ran straight into the middle of the field (taking on anyone who got in his way) and after finally breaking free, found the back of the net. This was as close as Mynderse got with Midlakes scoring the next six goals to finish the third quarter up 12-6. At 11:01 and 8:39, Stevenson scored two more goals from outside bounce shots. Senior Tony Pallidino played in the cage for Mynderse during the second half and finished the game with 4s/9g. Uveges scored the next goal with a drive from the top, followed by three goals in a row for Brooks-Lambert. The first and third were both man-up goals assisted by Stevenson, both using the drive from behind to an open outside bounce shot. The second was assisted by Newland off a face-off win by Newland.
  
The fourth quarter was close again with each team scoring three goals. Mynderse opened up the scoring with a goal from Kurdziolek (assisted by Pat Churchill). The next goal was Midlakes third man-up goal (also using the drive from behind, outside bounce shot) with Newland scoring (assisted by Brooks-Lambert). The Blue Devils struck again with a crease feed by Bachman to Dustin Luckinbill. Luckinbill led all shooters for the Blue Devils with 11s/5on/1g.
