Tue - Mar 27, 2012 - 6:30 PM

GRALL league game   at Aquinas 1st 2nd 3rd 4th OT Tot  Aquinas      Record: 2-0 1 4 4 4 0 13  Livonia      Record: 1-1 2 0 1 1 0 4

  --  Livonia and Aquinas faced off this evening for a GRALL league game and Aquinas walked away with a 13-4 victory. Although the Little Irish finished with a nine point lead, the teams were much more evenly matched, particularly in the early parts of the game. The key to the win was the teamwork demonstrated by Aquinas. They came together, cheering, excited and ready to play as a unit and Livonia slowly fell apart and imploded over the course of the game.

In the first half, Livonia was clearly the more prepared team. Their defense was nearly unstoppable and their offense was keeping them in the game. Then, The Bulldogs started getting penalties. They finished with 12 penalties, including a two minute non-releasable penalty during which the Little Irish scored two goals which gave them a strong lead. In the second half, Livonia still hard difficulty working as a team and Aquinas dominated. By the end of the game, a glance to the sidelines showed the different personalities. Aquinas was together, even when something negative happened and Livonia couldn't be more separate.

In the first quarter, The Bulldogs scored the opening goal with 5:12 remaining on a man-up goal. Wyatt Struble scored with a bounce shot to the off-hip of goalie Erich Wischmeyer. The goal was assisted by Derek Bishopp. Three minutes later Aquinas scored their first goal. Pete DiLaura intercepted the ball on a clear and pressed it forward to Alex Bianchi for the goal. Bishopp made his second feed to Josh Wester with 0:41 remaining in the quarter. Bishopp passed the ball from behind the cage to Wester up top. He fired side-arm into the corner for the 2-1 lead. The Livonia defense looked good in the first quarter. They held the Little Irish to only four shots (two on cage). They consistently slid at the right time and then fell back into place. They looked like a well oiled machine; however, it would not last.

In the second quarter, Livonia started to have penalty problems. It began with off-setting unsportsmanlike penalties in the beginning of the quarter. Livonia was in the penalty box with 6.5 minutes of penalties in the second quarter alone. For Aquinas, this was the break they were looking for. They added three man-up goals. Bianchi scored (unassisted) the first goal and Jake Vogl scored the next two (Jonathan Olbrich and DiLaura assisted). Communications problems by the Bulldogs led to a number of turnovers. Aquinas kept up the pressure and added a fourth goal before the quarter ended (Vogl unassisted). Aquinas led 5-2 at the half.

Livonia came out and had another six penalties (5.0 minutes) in the third quarter. Aquinas added two more goals early with a dodge from face-off man Billy Lombardi and DiLaura scoring with an assist from Brandon Gonzales. The Bulldogs scored their third goal with an impressive drive from behind the cage by Mitchell Kinney. Kinney had no angle on the goal and still put it into the back of the net. With 6:14 remaining in the quarter, Livonia received another penalty and Aquinas scored. DiLaura added an unassisted goal. After the play, Livonia's goalie received a penalty and Aquinas scored on the backup goalie (DiLaura from Bianchi). Aquinas led 9-3 after three quarters.

In the fourth quarter, Aquinas added two more goals early, including another man-up goal. Bianchi scored (assisted by Vogl) with a shot from outside. Joe Snook scored (assisted by Bianchi) with an impressive feat of athleticism on the crease. Bianchi sent the ball towards the cage and Snook reached in to grab and redirect the ball past Jamison. Livonia's final goal came during a triple man-up opportunity with Wester scoring (assisted by Struble). Aquinas added two more goals in the final minutes. Bianchi scored his fourth goal (assisted by Snook) and Ricky Barton scored his lone goal of the game.

In the cage, Wischmeyer finished with seven saves (64%) for the Little Irish. Bianchi (4g-2a), DiLaura (3g-2a) and Vogl (3g-1a) led in scoring for Aquinas. At the face-off, Lombardi finished 7/12 (with 3 technical losses) and DiLaura finished 5/6 (with three technical wins). DiLaura led in ground balls with eight. Lombardi added six and Vogl added five. For Livonia, Bishopp led with four ground balls and Jamison added three.
