Long stick James Cunningham scored with an assist from Andrew Kristy on the ensuing face-off for a fast-break goal at 7:41. Chris Button assisted Mike Schwab for another fast-break goal with only 0:41 remaining in the third quarter.

Canandaigua 15 - Penn Yan 5 

  --  Given the long-standing rivalry between Canandaigua and Penn Yan, there was a good sized crowd at Evans Field to see what most expected to be an exciting, and perhaps close game. Although the Canandaigua fans were pleased with the 15-5 win, the game was neither close nor exciting. CA's depth of quality players was too much for the youngsters from Penn Yan to handle and although a few of player match ups were even, the majority were not.

The Mustangs started the scoring just a minute into the game when Adam Trombley found Cole Castle up field on a clear. Less than two minutes later The Braves scored the first of five in a row, when Devin Alves scored on a feed from Bryan Peck on a cut from the left side of the cage.Alves scored again with just over a minute left in the quarter on a back to front feed from Brain Scheetz. The Braves led at the end of the first quarter 2-1.

It was Alves again at the top of the second quarter as the Braves scored three goals while holding the Mustangs scoreless. After a ball bounced off a defender on the crease a number of players ended up on the ground. When the ball popped out, Alves scooped it up and put in the net. Canandaigua maintained control of the ball for the majority of the quarter and took time off the clock with slow, methodical play set-ups. Will Johnson scored a man up goal at 9:23 when after cutting to the crease he received the ball from Scheetz. At 7:13 Marshall Johnson scored an unassisted goal on a drive from the top of the box. The Braves led at half time 5-1.

Penn Yan struggled with pressure from the Canandaigua rides and, in fact, had three goals scored against them as the result of failed clears. At one point, senior goalie Ethan Kamholtz ran the ball to his offensive end simply because no one broke open for his outlet pass.

The Mustangs came back with two goals to start the second half. Castle scored on a quick feed from Matt Osgood in the first minute of the third quarter taking the score to 5-2. Osgood scored an unassisted goal on an a-cut drive from behind the net to take the score to 5-3, but that was the end of the run as the Braves scored the next five goals, all within a three and a half minute period to take the score to 10-3 with 4:23 left.

Canandaigua also controlled the face off stats, winning 17 of 24 and giving the braves a significant amount of ball time as the result.

Penn Yan closed out the third quarter with a goal by Nate Nichols, who received the ball after cutting to the crease and connecting with Osgood. The quarter ended twenty seconds later with CA up 10-4.

Two minutes into the fourth quarter Canandaigua scored three more, all within a forty-eight second period. Tanner Scharr started it off with quick cross-crease pass from Will Johnson. Brian Scheetz added an unassisted goals after intercepting a clearing pass and shooting on an open net from the top of the box and Alves added the third on a drive from behind the net. Adam Trombley scored the last goal for Penn Yan in man up with 4:36 remaining, but CA countered on the ensuing face off (Adam Knapton from Marshall Johnson), and then scored the final goal on the next face off when Brandon Thomson scored at 3:49.

In the final analysis, Canandaigua controlled the ball on both ends of the field. Their player depth allowed for more match ups and a number of mismatches, they used eleven different players on the offensive book and their pressure on rides frustrated Penn Yan.

Scoring for Canandaigua were Deven Alves (4g), Brian Scheetz (1g-3a), Bryan Peck (1a), Will Johnson (1g-1a), Marshall Johnson (1g-1a), Tom LaCrosse (2g), Brandon Thomson (2g), Tanner Scharr (3g), Collin Peck (1a) and Adam Knapton (1g).

Scoring for Penn Yan were Cole Castle (2g), Adam Trombley (1g-1a), Matt Osgood (1g-2a) and Nat Nichols (1g).
