Game Wrap Ups
Results for Game 1
Sunday March 07 2010
OK,
Wolfpack Nation. Week 1’s games are in the books.
Here now the results:
We could not have asked for a better day to kick off the season. The sunshine and temperatures were spectacular. Please remember this day, as the usual weather for Lax seems to be wet, cold and windy. I believe last year’s opener saw snow...
The 5/6 squad opened the season with a very closely played contest against Bainbridge Blue at Cleveland. After a somewhat tentative 1st quarter, our guys found their groove and pulled into an early 2-goal advantage. Bolstered by a strong defensive effort, the Wolfpack played solid Lacrosse for the entire game. Although Bainbridge ultimately won the contest 6-5, our boys were on a roll in the fourth quarter and looked poised for the win, but unfortunately the final horn sounded just a bit too soon. All in all, an excellent first effort!
The 7/8 team, also in a home contest at Cleveland, faced their 7/8 Bainbridge Blue counterparts. This game was characterized by very solid, steady play against a somewhat overmatched Bainbridge team. The offense executed well, and the defense, despite being somewhat “fluid” in nature (...here, take this long pole and get out there, you’ll figure it out...), protected their own goal pretty well. Both Wolfpack keepers turned in solid performances during their respective shifts. Scoring was well distributed with six players scoring at least one goal. Our guys played with a lot of enthusiasm which ultimately led to the final 8-4 tally for the ‘Pack.
The 3/4 Squad faced the Magnolia Black team in their 3pm contest at Whitman Middle School. Here’s some commentary from Coach Fimmano:
“...Our guys came out strong against an experienced Magnolia Black team, gathering most of the Q1 ground balls and creating numerous scoring opportunities through staying spread and finding open players. Magnolia found it's pace in the 2nd quarter, owning time of possession and slashing through our defense for some scores. We regrouped well at halftime and played great team defense in Q3, sliding to the ball and forcing turnovers. The Wolfpack took control in Q4 with great ground ball play, clearing and time of possession, ending the game strong. Overall, a very competitive game and a great start to the season!”
