Brighton 15 - Eastridge 3  

Tue - Mar 29, 2011 - 5:00 PM

MC-D3 league game   at Eastridge 1st 2nd 3rd 4th OT Tot  Eastridge      Record: 0-1 2 1 0 0 0 3  Brighton      Record: 1-0 5 3 3 4 0 15

The book for Eastridge: Ethan Printy (1g), Chris Giruzzi (1g), Mike Mortillaro (1g), Anthony Coffaro (1a), Goaltending: TJ Ennis 14s/15ga (48 mins) The book for Brighton: Alex Lebowitz (1a), Steven Cregan (2a), Sam Burgess (1a), Brackett Bourne (6g-1a), Casey Kopp (2g), Joshua Hunt (1g), Kurt Minges (2g-5a), CJ Wool (3g-2a), JT Haag (1g), Goaltending: Jordan Carey 1s/3ga (48 mins).

  --   Brighton took the game to running time against Eastridge, finishing 15-3. The Lancers played respectably in the first half, but the Baron's skill and depth were too much for them as Brighton finished with 12/15 goals assisted and 3/3 at extra-man.

Eastridge scored the first goal with 8:08 remaining in the first quarter when Mike Mortillaro ran straight at the goal and put the ball into the back of the net during an extra-man offense. Two of the three goals for the Lancers were scored man-up. Between both squads 5/8 man-up opportunities were converted on. Brighton answered with four goals of their own, with the first three each assisted by Kurt Minges who finished the game with 2g-5a. The first two goals (and the fourth assist) were scored by Brackett Bourne (6g-1a). The latter two goals were scored by CJ Wool (3-2). Eastridge added another after Chris Giruzzi scored on face-off fast-break. The final goal of the quarter was scored by Bourne again, this time after picking up a loose ball on the crease. Eastridge played well in the first quarter, picking up a number of loose balls and clearing the ball well overall. Although they have a small roster, Eastridge looks much stronger this year than last.

Eastridge scored the first goal of the second quarter to take the score to 5-3 with another man-up goal. Ethan Printy scored (assisted by Anthony Coffaro) with 4:44 remaining. Although the Lancers were playing well in the beginning, Brighton opened up their scoring adding the final 10 goals and of the game forcing running time. The Barons seemed to have trouble early on (multiple penalties, trouble with ground balls and clearing). However, once they worked out the kinks, they looked like the well oiled team that returned nearly their entire starting line from last season. In the second quarter, Brighton had scoring from Minges, Casey Koop, Wool and Bourne.

Brighton's defense stepped up the second half, and allowed Eastridge only three shots in 24 minutes (two missed the cage and the third hit goalie Jordan Carey in the stick). In the third quarter, Bourne added two and Minges and Wool added one each. In the fourth quarter, Bourne, Haag, Koop and Joshua Hunt each added one goal.

Overall, Brighton showed a lot of skill and potential. Of note was long-stick midfielder Dan Pierce (Nazareth). Pierce was all over the field and finished with a team leading ten ground balls. He was a leader on and off the field, constantly helping his teammates with his personal play, as well as adding guidance on the sidelines. With his experience and leadership he will be a strong asset to the Barons this season.

At the face-off draw, Brighton's Max Brauer finished with 14/16 and three ground balls. He was impressive, guiding the ball to his back-side wing man. A number of times he placed the ball in perfect position for only his teammate to pick up the ground ball. In the cage, Carey finished with one save. For Eastridge, Printy and defenseman George Bauer both finished with team leading three ground balls. Eastridge goalie TJ Ennis had a stand-out day between the pipes finishing with 14 saves (48%) against the high powered shooting of Brighton. There were a number of point blank shots where Ennis was able to make the save.

Next up for Brighton, Brockport, on Thursday. The Lancers play Gananda, also on Thursday.
