Exeter 13  Cathedral HS 2
Exeter, NH, Tuesday, April 18th - For the first time in school history, Exeter played a team visiting from California. The BIG RED showed excellent hospitality in the first quarter as the hustling but less experienced Dons from Cathedral HS of San Diego were able to hold their own and finish the quarter tied 1-1. However, the flood gates opened in the 2nd quarter as Exeter started playing quality lacrosse all over the field. The spark that seemed to change everything was the faceoff work of Andrew Farrissey with the great wing play by Wes Chaput. At the 7 minute mark of the 2nd, Andrew put the ball out to Wes, Wes then scooped it up and ran a fast break, and then he assisted Scott MacKenzie for the dunk. This exact scenario repeated itself 15 seconds later, and Exeter just started hitting on all cylinders. By halftime, the score was 7-1 with game ball winner Scott MacKenzie having already scored four 2nd quarter goals. Scott finished the game with six goals and one assist with some sprectacular shooting. Exeter picked up where they left off at the start of the third quarter. The defense was in complete control of the Don's offense, and Cathedral was also having trouble clearing the ball. Chris Duffy, Sam Duprey, Bruce Hallett, and Scott MacKenzie (2) combined for five quick goals in the first 6 minutes of the 3rd quarter to put the game at 12-1 and out of reach. All the starters watched the 2nd string play very good lacrosse for more than a quarter and a half. Standouts among them included John Dwyer on defense, Evan Rose and Andrew Hong in the midfield, and Dwight Curtis at long pole. It should also be noted that middie Tom Clayton scored his first career goal unassisted to finish out the team's 13 goal output.
