Exeter 8  Holderness 7 OT
Plymouth, NH, Wednesday, May 23rd - When Holderness scored the go ahead goal with 7.5 seconds remaining in regulation it certainly seemed Exeter was destined to suffer their fourth 1-goal loss of this season. An infraction by Holderness on the ensuing face-off gave Exeter the ball at midfield with just 5 seconds on the clock. Co-game-ball winner George Negroponte started with the ball and found attackman Nick Laster inside the restraining line. Nic caught the ball, rolled quickly to his left and fired a bouncer in the top corner of the net as time expired in regulation. Holderness had the first offensive opportunity in the overtime, but Exeter's defense held firm. When Exeter cleared the ball into the offensive zone, middie Charlie Brewer beat his man outside the restraining box, drew a slide, and found Nic Laster with the pass. This time Nic wheeled to his right and scored the game winner with a right handed bounce shot from about 12 yards out. For his late game heroics, Nic shares the game ball with George. This game was close and hard fought from the beginning as Exeter was adjusting to missing four starters out of the game due to injuries. The replacements played excellent lacrosse against a physical and inspired Holderness team trying to win their last game of the season on their own turf. Playing significant roles were attackmen Max Cassidy, Owen McAleer, and LSM Eddie Williams. Yuri Larrabee made 11 saves, some of them from close range, and defenseman Garrett Nicholson played an inspirational game while not at 100% physically. In addition to Nic Laster, the offensive production came from Max Alderman (2 goals and an assist), JP Collmus (2 goals), and George Negroponte (1 goal and the big assist). It was a nice win that helps balance out the three one-goal losses Exeter has suffered this season.
