Exeter 7  Kimball Union 8
Exeter, NH, Wednesday, May 10th - Once again Exeter's overall offense and ball control in particular were major factors leading to difficulty scoring against a solid KUA team who came ready for the upset. The defense played well in the first half despite four man-down situations, a few fast breaks, and KUA dominating time of possession due to Exeter offensive turnovers and poor shooting. Down by 3-2 at halftime, Exeter started off the 3rd quarter well with three unanswered goals to take a 5-3 lead and all the momentum. However, instead of busting the game open, Exeter let KUA back into it by not being able to win a faceoff and continuing to give them offensive opportunities. A late 3rd quarter goal after Exeter's sixth penalty of the game allowed KUA to tie the score 5-5 going into the 4th. KUA scored again in a man-up situation early in the 4th, and then took a 2-goal lead 7-5 with only 8 minutes remaining. To Exeter's credit, they battled back with a Sam Duprey solo dodge and fast break goal by Chris Duffy to knot the score 7-7 with under four minutes to play. A great pass and catch to a closely guarded middie on a clear led to an 8th and final KUA goal at the 2-minute mark, and Exeter's efforts to tie it were thwarted with a couple of good saves. This was a disappointing loss, but KUA deserves credit for a well played and well coached game. Click here to see game pics.
