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).

Scoring for Pittsford were James Purpura (3g-1a), Jimmy O`Neil (1g), Tom Schmitz (1g), David Quinzi (1a) and Conor McDermott (1a). Brendan Green had 9s/9ga for Pittsford (6-4).

McQuaid Jesuit 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 Jesuit was 7/13.
