Exeter 10 GDA 12
Wednesady, May 15th, Exeter, NH - As predicted, this was a battle between two evenly matched teams who are among the best this year in Eastern New England. GDA stunned Exeter with a 6 goal outburst in the 1st quarter versus Exeter's 3 goals, and this 3 goal difference more than accounted for the ultimate difference at the end. Unlike last year, when Exeter was able to stymie the GDA star attackman, this year he erupted for 5 goals, including the last 3 of the game for GDA. Exeter's slides were either late or too early, and when loose balls were created, Exeter was beaten in the ground ball department. After the shaky first quarter, Exeter settled down and made a comeback behind three 2nd period goals by Alan Eberstein. Despite playing better in the 2nd thru 4th quarters, Exeter could never quite catch GDA as they always responded with a goal to stay one or two ahead. GDA's star players Taylor Brown and JJ Morrissey came through in the clutch in this big game as they scored or assisted on 11 of GDA's 12 goals. Exeter's game plan of stopping them did not get executed. At Exeter's offensive end, lots of opportunities were created, but some poor shooting and a good day by the GDA goalie hurt the offensive production. Alan Eberstein finished the day with an impressive 5 goals and 2 assists, while Peter Monroe had a 1 goal and 3 assist effort. Wyatt Golding had his usual outstanding game facing off, but Exeter just fell short against a team that played better on this particular day. This was the first loss against a prep school opponent this year for Exeter See game pics
