Exeter 9  Winchendon  1
Exeter, NH, Tuesday, May 10th - On a very rare Tuesday game, Exeter defeated a previously undefeated Winchendon team 9-1 in another impressive display of defensive lacrosse. Winchendon was an athletic group that had averaged over 11 goals per game on their way to an 8-0 record going into yesterday's game. Led by game ball winner Coleman Peeke, the Exeter defense completely neutralized the Winchendon attack and overall offense. Coleman and his long pole contingent of Ian Drummond, Frank Andrews, Pat Flynn, Chris Downer, Kevin Crane, and Shivpal Virk kept relentless pressure on the Winchendon attackmen. Very few quality shots were generated, and often the ball was stripped away and cleared effectively by good passing up the field. Short stick defenders Kirk Bansak and Bruce Hallett teamed with long stick middies Brett Hughes and Evan Crosby to negate the Winchendon midfield offense just as effectively. Matt Harrigan, Eric Hassett, and Alec Shand all played well in the goal, with much of their responsibility weighted towards directing the clear after a defensive takeaway. The offensive stars of the day were Travis Glennon with 4 goals and 1 assist and Michael Scalise with another hat trick for him. This is Michael's team leading 5th game with 3 or more goals. After jumping to a 5-0 halftime lead, liberal substitution ensued, and everyone continued to play hard and well. Winchendon deserves a lot of thanks for agreeing to the change in the game date so that Exeter's previously rained out Tabor game can be scheduled into the original Winchendon date of Wednesday, May 18th. Exeter has the unusual task of playing back to back games on consecutive days when we visit Kimball Union Academy for an East I league contest on 5/11.
