LANDON 12 @ St ALBANS 5 [4/14]

The Bears met their rivals, the Bulldogs, on the pock marked soaked Satterlee-Henderson Field and for a half the game was close 5-4. The Landon depth at all positions allowed the visiting team to dominate the third and fourth quarters. StA was shut out for 22 consecutive  minutes by aggressive, smart defense. The battles for ground balls went the way of the Bears and against a heavily recruited FOGO, the team of Justin Murphy and Wes Lincoln dominated the X.

The Bears goals and assists came from 10 different players– Harrison Archer had 4 goals, Joe Paoletta and John Blizzard each had 2 goals, Austin Dodson, Pearce Minshall, Greg Russell and Will Korengold all had single goals. The assists came from Patrick Keena (2),while  single assists were recorded by Sam Mc Donough and Jimmy Sloan.
