Landon Lacrosse 10 St. Paul’s 11

Though it was a peaceful ride from the White Rocks to Brooklandville, the Bears’ 1^st Q did not go well. Perhaps it was the Crusaders’ red hot goalie, or their 5* stud attackman headed to UNC or maybe the roster with 7 Div. I recruits (+4 Div. III), but at the end of Period 1, the home team led 6-2- a tough deficit from which to recover.

The visitors’ first tally was  a feed from CADEN SOUTHWORTH to KEVIN MILLER @6:17 the score at 1-1. Then Landon took a lead when TALEN SMITH won his face-off and sprinted down the field to score @6:11. The bus-bound Bear legs then led to 5 Crusader goals at 6:02 (F/O), 5:46, 4:17, 2:30 and 1:11.

ZACH ABRAMSON faced 13 shots with 10 SOGs and 4 saves. At the X TALEN SMITH won 3 of 5 F/Os with 3 GBs.

END OF 1^ST PERIOD BEARS 2 CRUSADERS 6

Thereafter, the Bears dug out of a big hole—winning 2-4 quarters 9-3. The Landon D held SP to 1/1/3 goal for the remaining periods.

In Q2. Landon scored 4 to get within striking distance-

@9:28 ANTHONT PANETTI fed MAKANA NEVEROSKY for his 1^st Bear goal. Soon thereafter, @8:05 CADEN SOUTHWORTH showed his speed and deception to register the team’s 4^th goal. The run continued when CHASE ROBERTSON exhibited like skills for Landon goal @7:01. The home team responded with a score at 4:28, only to see DEVIN STEWART add a goal @1:35.

The 2nd period saw 9 Landon shots, while ZACH stopped one of two SOGs; the close D, LSMs and SSDMs did their job. TALEN SMITH won 3 of 6 F/Os with 3 GBs

END OF 1^ST PERIOD BEARS 6 CRUSADERS 7

Post Halftime, the Bear coaches (McGettigan, Bordley, Cassidy, Kubik, Padalino, Powell, Smith) made adjustments at both ends and at X.  To make it tied at 7-7, CHASE added another G @11:30. Then @6:21 KEVIN MILLER scored to take the lead. The Crusaders responded at 9:04.

Bears put 9 SOGs; Crusaders 5 with 1 ZACH save. HAYDEN GOOZH won 2 of 4 F/Os with 1 GB.

END OF PERIOD 3 BEARS 8 CRUSADERS 8

Landon gained a +1 advantage @4:35 on a goal by TROY ULISNEY.  The score was evened at 6:15 and then the Crusaders reached a +1 advantage at 5:01 and a +2 advantage on the scoreboard at 3:34 on a fast break. ANTHONY brought the Bears within a goal @ 1:39. Landon had another O possession and made more SOGs, but the SP goalie stopped them.

ZACH made 4 saves on 10 shots and his Bear Brothers made 14 shots.

The official scorer informed me that ZACH had the unusual lax stat– an assist on one of the goals
