Thomas 14 - McQuaid Jesuit 9

  For both Thomas and McQuaid Jesuit this year, runs, a series of goals in a row, have been important in games they have won. This afternoon, when they both met, it was important again as Thomas scored five goals in a row to take a 13-7 lead on their way to a 14-9 win over McQuaid Jesuit in Class A quarter final play.

The game was close for the majority of the game, with 4-4, 6-6, and 9-7 quarters. McQuaid Jesuit scored the first two goals, starting with one at 10:54 and the second 47 seconds later. Senior middie Nick Caton scored the first on an unassisted drive from the top left side. After the face off was won by Thomas, Nick Scalzo put one in the cage, but it was waved off when the officials said he entered the crease before the score. Corey Flanigan scored for the Knights on a sweep to the right.
  
The next three goals were by Thomas starting with a man up goal by freshman attackman Kyle Rothfuss with an assist from senior attackman Max Gurowski. The shot bounced right under McQuaid Jesuit goalie, Danny Caufield's stick. At 5:57 after clearing the ball, Gurowski circled the cage just past the goal line extended, turned back sharply and passed the ball to Scalzo on the opposite corner. Gurowski assisted on the next goal, when he moved the ball from behind the net to Pat Morrill in front.

With the score 3-2, McQuaid Jesuit tied the game on an unassisted goal by Mitch Ritchie, after his defender was picked off behind the goal. Ritchie worked his way to the top of the crease and scored with an underhand shot. At 1:55 McQuaid Jesuit took the lead with a wing feed from Eric Wright to Nick Wolak. Thirty seconds later Thomas ended the scoring in the first quarter and tied it back up at 4-4 with a Gurowski feed to Brad Hutton. Gurowski assisted on all four Titan goals and the quarter ended with a 4-4 tie.

Thomas started man up for three minutes when McQuaid Jesuit was assessed a 3:00 non-releasable stick penalty at the start of the quarter. Although the Titans were not able to score on that penalty, the did score on two others, as the Knights were hit with five and a half minutes of penalties in the second quarter. Kyle LaVallee scored after cutting inside the man down zone and catching the ball thrown by Jack Hinderland from behind the cage. Later, Scalzo scored in man up, throwing a hard side arm shot after receiving the ball from Brad Hutton. McQuaid Jesuit closed the half with two goals in about a minute, the first of which was scored unassisted by Nick Caton with a strong sidearm to the top right corner of the cage. The second was scored by Ritchie who backed in from the corner of the cage and the half ended in a 6-6 tie.

Just 47 second into the third quarter Thomas scored the go ahead goal when Hinderland scored an unassisted goal on a sweep to the left. After a great deal of transition Thomas scored another goal when JT Hauck scored on a sweep at 4:36. The Knights came back with a goal at 4:09 as Ritchie backed into the goal and dished the ball to Jeff MacDonald for the goal. The Titans saw a goal from Scalzo when he was able to sneak to the corner of the cage and one hand it past Caufield to give Thomas a 9-7 lead at the end of three quarters.

The Titans took control at the top of the fourth quarter scoring four goals in just under six minutes. After passing the ball around the goal numerous times, LaVallee scored the first (unassisted) after dodging inside and putting a shot the top right corner. Billy Gurowski sent the ball to Morrill who cut in parallel and finished with a quick stick shot. A minute and a half later Scalzo moved the ball to Hauck who scored on an open net when the Knights cleared the cage to double the ball. Scalzo, who had a shot, instead passed the ball to Hauck who had a better shot. Scalzo got his goal at 3:15 when he received the ball from Tomeno on a fast break clear. After a McQuaid Jesuit time out, Corey Flanigan scored an unassisted goal at 3:00 on a clear out play. Scalzo scored a man up goal for Thomas at 1:40 after receiving a cross crease feed from LaVallee. With under a minute left, Ritchie scored the last goal of the game after muscling in from a tight crease cut from behind the cage.

One key in the game was the excellent play by senior defenseman Jake Ziegler who for most of the game drew the assignment to guard Ritchie who before the game was second in Section Five scoring (with 68) and points (with 95). Ziegler had several important take aways and was able to keep Ritchie from dominating in the game. Although the high powered attackman did score 3g-1a (4 pts) which is just under his average 5.2, Ziegler and Andrew Glagolev (who took over the assignment for part of the third quarter) did a fine job in keeping him from playing "his game".
