Exeter 12  St. Pauls 8
April 10th, Exeter, NH - In a game that was filled with penalty flags flying through the air, Exeter's Big Red prevailed over St Paul's by a 12-8 margin. Unlike the last few games, Exeter started on a strong note with the first two goals of the game by senior attackmen and co-captains Colin Thune and Alan Eberstein. Exeter's domination of play lasted for about the first six minutes before St. Paul's changed the momentum by scoring three quick goals of their own. A solo dodge by middie Peter Monroe evened the score at 3-3 at the end of the 1st quarter. Exeter took a 6-5 lead by halftime on goals by Eberstein, D'Annolfo, and another by Monroe. It was in the 3rd and 4th quarter that physical play got out of hand, and the flags started flying. Exeter was penalized 9 times in the 2nd half, while St Paul's players were flagged an amazing 13 times in that same period of time. Exeter's man-up offense and man-down defense were the key to Exeter building leads of 8-5 and then 12-6 with less than three minutes in the game. Game ball winner Casey D'Annolfo scored two more goals in the 2nd half and finished the day with 3 goals and an assist. He did a great job of running the man-up offense and hustling all over the field. High scorer Alan Eberstein had another big game with a 4 goal, 3 assist effort, while fellow attackmen Colin Thune and Ryan Voccola chipped in two and one respectively. The long pole unit of Gabe Wood, Matt Perdoni, Seth Coburn, and Ben Gage played heroically in front of stopper Jeff Miller. Jeff had another great game that included 13 saves, many of them from point blank range. Although it was not an artistic victory, it was well earned and certainly hard fought.
