LANDON LACROSSE 9 GEORGETOWN PREP 14

Having recently espoused the sabermetrics theorem about the difficulty of winning a third game against an opponent, today’s trip up Rockville Pike proved the exception to the rule. The #5 not so little Hoyas demonstrated significant depth of talent and well-designed schemes. The Bears down 9-3 at half fought back to a -5 deficit in the 90⁰ weather on the GP rugby field (the regular lax field is under several tons of dirt in a multimillion dollar redevelopment.

The home team dominated all phases of the 1^st Q. The Hoyas mid-field, deep like the Duke middies, controlled the ball and the pace. Jake Cohen impertinently interrupted the home run with an unassisted goal on a fast-break clear @8:00. The Bears hit 2 on the scoreboard with a goal @0:43—Zal Oehlerking to Stephen Bou.

 Life at the X and in the nets were tough.

ENDOF 1^ST Q BEARS 1 LITTLE HOYAS 6

The next 12 minutes saw the same pattern: 3 GP goals vs. a Bear score off of an unsettled play. A broken GP clear ended with the ball in Graham Hertzberg’s crosse that then zipped to Kevin Miller’s stick for goal #3 @ 4:29.

The numbers at X (3-2) and in the nets (8 shots, 5 saves, 3 goals) were better

HALFTIME BEARS 3 LITTLE HOYAS 9

Period 3 saw the GP margin go from +6 to +8. Bear goal #4 came through a failed GP clear and the visitors quick conversion—Graham fed Nathan Ferguson for a goal @ 9:14. Kevin registered a solo shot @8:03

Bear #19 did #19 stuff at X this period, winning 5 and losing 2. Hunter Taylor was blasted with 6 shots, stopped 2 and the others hit the nets.
