Exeter 10 Moses Brown 3
Exeter, NH, Saturday, April 23rd
- On a day when the rainy weather could have been a major factor to the Big
Red Laxmen, the home team boys proved that they could play no matter
what conditions prevailed. The Big Red played
an exceptional first half in all areas of the game to build a 4-0 lead on
their way to a 10-3 win over an excellent Mo Brown team. The defense led by
Coleman Peeke, Frank Andrews, Pat Flynn, Brett Hughes,
Evan Crosby and game ball winner
Kirk Bansak pressured the Mo Brown players all over the field. The
constant pressure took the talented offensive group from Rhode Island out
of their game plan. Once the ball was taken away, the transition from the
defensive end to our offensive end was solid. Overall, Exeter's teamwork and
ball movement was quick and crisp despite the elements. The offense clicked
with precision as we clearly out-shot the visitors. The offense applied a
great deal of pressure both in unsettled situations and in settled offensive
sets, and if not for the great saves by the Mo Brown goalie, the game could
have been well out of reach before the half. Leading the way for the Exeter
offense was Jon Higgins with 3 goals. Mike Scalise contributed
2 goals and 2 assists, Mark Scalise had 2 goals, 1 assist, and Sam
Duprey was another two-goal scorer as well. Brett Davis chipped
in with 1 goal and 2 assists, while Travis Glennon also contributed
2 assists. Matt Harrigan had 10 saves for the Big Red with a handful
of them excellent stops. Exeter's man down was really tested because of the
large number of Exeter infractions, but they stood strong. The man up team
looked sharp as well. The Big Red will gear it
up again on Wednesday for the contest with Pingree and finish up the week
with a great game scheduled for Saturday against perennial power Loomis-Chaffee.
Thanks to all the parents and fans who braved the inclement weather to support
the boys and also put on another excellent tailgate party in the TAD Jones
