Exeter 8  NMH 9 (OT)  
Exeter, NH, Saturday, Mat, 12th - Exeter played excellent lacrosse for forty-two minutes of this forty-eight minute game and were ahead 8-4 with less than 6 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. Uncharacteristically, the BIG RED stopped playing Exeter lacrosse for the last six minutes of the fourth quarter. Everything that could go wrong did, and NMH took advantage of Exeter’s repeated mistakes, some good fortune, some questionable calls, and their own hustle, desire, and skill. NMH dominated possession in those last six minutes because of Exeter’s lack of winning a faceoff, picking up a ground ball cleanly at either end of the field, and making some poor choices with the ball. When NMH scored back-to-back goals to close the gap to 8-6, a timeout by Exeter failed to stop their momentum. Two more NMH goals tied the score, and after each score they got the ball back on the ensuing faceoff. Once again NMH won possession to start the overtime, but Exeter's defense stripped the ball loose as an attacker approached the goal. The loose ball went in front of Exeter’s goal where Exeter players had a chance to get it to the goalie or rack it away to the side, but failed to do so. Instead, it was picked up by an NMH player, and shot into the net for the NMH OT win. It was a heartbreaking loss of a game that seemed under control. Some hard lessons were learned this afternoon, and hopefully they will be applied during the remainder of the season. click here to see pics
