Exeter 13  North Yarmouth 1
Exeter, NH, Monday, April 11th - Exeter's BIG RED lacrosse team made it three in a row to start the season with a convincing 13-1 win over North Yarmouth Academy. Unlike the first two games, it did not take very long for the offense to get going in this one-sided contest as Exeter jumped out to a 5-1 first quarter lead and never looked back. Nine different players scored goals in this game that allowed for significant playing time for everyone. There were many outstanding performances, with the game ball going to middie Brett Davis who scored 2 goals, dished out 2 assists, won 7 of 9 faceoffs, and played well all over the field. Other top offensive performers were prep phenom Mark Scalise (3g,1a), Travis Glennon (2g,1a), and Michael Scalise (1g, 2a). Alec Shand started and played the entire game in the nets, yielding just one goal on a tough screen shot from the outside. Otherwise, Alec and the defense played a swarming pressure defense that kept the NYA offensive players off balance and making mistakes. The long pole middie group consisting of Brett Hughes, Evan Crosby, and occasionally Chris Downer continue to play outstanding lacrosse. Captain Kirk Bansak has been just amazing with his display of speed that typically follows the vacuuming of a ground ball. Yesterday, he also scored his first goal of the season. Also scoring for the first time this season, both on memorable plays, were Brett Hughes and Steve Reardon. The team continues to play hard and tough lacrosse, but we have not seen top competition yet. However, that will soon change as we faceoff against a very good team on Wednesday when we play western powerhouse Avon Old Farms on Cushing Academy's turf field.
