WEBSTER SCHROEDER
March 18,2006 - Webster Schroeder took third in the Monroe County – 1 league last year with a 7-5 league record and 12-7 over all. Senior attackmen Jack Mooney and Tom Costanza were named to the first team attack list, while seniors Matt Crandall and Mark Liberti were named to the defense list. Mike Catalino made the midfield list and was named to the All America team.

In the Class A tournament, the Warriors were seeded 4th and finished 4th with wins against Gates Chili (14-1) and Irondequoit (14-3), before losing to Penfield (15-9) in the semi finals. Catalino was named to the All Tournament team.

Schroeder lost ten seniors to graduation and most of them saw a great deal of playing time in 2005. Gone are Mooney (MCC) and Costanza (Geneseo) in the attack and Catalino (Duke) in the midfield. Also gone are defensemen, Jeremy Appell, Mark Liberti (Hartford) and Matt Crandall (LeMoyne).

Junior midfielder Mike Barilla will be out this season with an off season ACL injury and will be greatly missed by the Warriors.

This year will be tougher for Schroeder and they will need to stay healthy while the most experienced athletes teach the younger ones. Senior Dennis Costanza is a credible goalie and will be helped by senior Chris Nicodemi and junior Drew Palmer, but except for senior John Pawluk, the midfield may be pretty thin. The attack will see the return of junior Grant Catalino, and seniors Chris Ferry and Jay Willmes which will allow the team to score points when they can get the ball. Juniors Andy Winslow (mid) and Tim Winslow (def) are up from JV and they may help.
