Landon Lacrosse 16 Severn 7

The Admirals cane to Bordley Stadium at Triplett Field with a gaudy 3-0 record including convincing wins over STAB and StA. Their roster included 5 Div. I commits (in particular a FOGO heading to PSU with an IL 87 rating) and 2 headed to Div. III. WaPo found their resume merited a #7 ranking (one above the Bears.

It is standard lax gospel that winning at X is a key to victory and Severn benefited from their FOGO’s skills. That advantage was reduced by Landon’s goalie, ZACH ABRAMSON, who faced 44 Admiral shots, stopped 20 that were SOGs– frustrating this MIAA team. Another element to victory was the Bear clearing and ride play- the home team cleared 22 times with I fail. Severn had the reverse performance crossing the midfield only 7 out of 10 attempts. The third key to the Home victory was the unselfish ball movement on the O end of the field resulting in 16 goals with 6 assists.

Early in the 1^st Q, @10:54 KEVIN MILLER grabbed a rebound off the Admiral’s Goalie and put the fist number on the scoreboard. KEVIN @7:40 added another tally for a 2-0 lead on a brilliant dodge from GLE. Severn notched its first goal at 4:55 only to see KEVIN record an assist on a CADEN SOUTHWORTH goal @ 3:23—Bears +2 advantage. Next the visitors brought the score to -1 on a nice score at 1:08.

Landon’s D (in numerical order–CHRISTIAN DEYMUDE (ssdm), ELI SMINK 9d). OWEN DAVIS (lsm), JACOB DIRWINSKI (d), AHMED ZAID (ssdm), NATHAN FURGESON (ssdm), JT MATHURA (d), LOGAN CASSIDY (d) and a number of 2 way middies)—frustrated the Admirals. PLUS, the attack and this defensive corps denied their opponents any clear for much of the 48 minutes. Conversely these well-coached sets led to a number of turnovers leading to Bear goals.

A COACH KUBIK play a pass from speedy ANTHONY PANETTI to CHASE ROBERTSON @9:24 resulted in GOAL #4 for the Bears. Not conceding anything Severn tallied its 3^rd goal at 7:02. That was the end for the Admirals in the second period.’

The value of an aggressive ride was shown @10:18 DAVIS OWENS after a turnover ran free into the Severn D zone, cranked his long pole, and deposited the ball in the back of the nets- 8-3. Again, the Bears’ precision passing came to fruition; this time a pass from CHASE found the webbing of TROY ULISNEY for Landon’s 9^th goal @9:30.  The boys from Severn responded with their only goal in this quarter at 7:41.
