-- On one of the first warm and sunny days, the Canandaigua Braves hosted the Titans from Webster Thomas at the old Evans Field. Although the first quarter was close, ending at 2-1, Thomas slowly took control of the game up 5-2 at the half. In the third quarter Thomas added four more and ended the game, winning 10-5.
It took Thomas two and half minutes of transition at the start of the game before senior midfielder JT Hauck scored the opening goal on a drive from the top center in man up. Hauck, who will attend Binghamton in the fall, ended the game with 1g-2a. Just a minute later, the Titans scored again on a full-field clearing pattern that ended with junior attackman John Zawacki firing an underhand shot into the right side of the goal. Zawacki led the team in scoring with 3g-2a, many with his fellow midfielders. Canandaigua's first goal came from junior middie Matt Scharr who picked up the loose ball on a broken clear and won a one-on-one with Titan senior goalie Don Grace. The quarter ended with Thomas up 2-1.
The Titans took the score to 3-1 at 10:35 in the second quarter, on an outside-to-inside dodge by sophomore attackman, John Hill. After five minutes of transition, and no scoring, Canandaigua added a goal by junior attackman Dave Serron who received the ball on a crease pass. At 3-2, it looked like the Braves were going to get back into the game, but back-to-back goals by junior midfielder Troy Crevier, each assisted by Zawacki allowed Thomas to close the half up 5-2. Crevier's first goal, in man up at 1:40, was on a cut from the goalie's right. The second, twenty seconds later, was on a back-to-front feed.
Thomas lengthened their lead at the top of the third quarter, scoring three goals in the first five minutes starting with one from sophomore middie Jake Giudice. Senior middie, Ben Morrill drove straight in to the crease after a Titan clear and scored (unassisted) at 8:17. Kyle Rothfuss added another for Thomas on a crossing pattern from the high crease at 7:09. As if to say, "I have had enough", CA senior midfielder Mark Greer ran the entire length of the field and threw a hard side arm shot past Grace to take the Braves to 8-3. Thomas, who seemed to be scoring at will, ended the quarter at 0:19 on a fast break clear ending with Justin Dibernardo feeding Zawacki.
At the start of the last quarter, the Braves replaced senior Cory Griffin with sophomore goalie Michael Cuciti. The Titans showed no mercy and scored at 11:29 with a feed by Crevier to Zawacki on an outside to inside pattern. Just after penalty time expired, but before the teams were setup, junior attackman Taylor Spike scored for the Braves on a crossing pass from Serron. As the teams liberally substituted players, there was a period of no scoring as the ball moved up and down the field. The draught ended by the last goal of the game, scored at 2:17 by Greer sweeping from left to right and beating Grace in the upper corner.
It was an exciting win for Thomas, earned by hard running and their genuine desire to move the ball for the best shot. Don Grace made some important stops and ended with 19 saves. His success was also due to excellent play by the Titan defense who kept Canandaigua far away from the goal. He was also helped by the lack of quality shots by the Canandaigua offense who often gave up medium range shots that would have been more difficult for Grace. Shots that were taken, especially in the early part of the game, were often wide and resulted too often in turnovers. The bottom line is that Canandaigua is struggling, with losses now to Thomas and Rush-Henrietta and tough games next week against Fairport and Hamburg. Thomas, 2-1, is looking at Rush-Henrietta and Hilton next week.
