It's always a big game when Canandaigua and Fairport meet. Tuesday's game, at Canandaigua's Evans Field, was an exciting game, with explosive scoring by both teams but in the end it would be the defense that created the 10-5 win for the Braves.

The second quarter saw a great deal of effort, with few goals as the defense for both teams held the offense away from the goal. Fairport continued to struggle to clear the ball as the CA defensive middies pressed hard and the riding team forced turnovers. Canandaigua scored the first two goals; the first at 8:29 as Mulheron scored on a pass from Groot and the second by sophomore middie Jeremy Brown assisted by Groot.

Not to be out done, CA returned at 5:35 with an unassisted main up goal scored by Brown after he picked up a ground ball in front of the goal.

Seniors Ed Walsh and Jay Woodworth were able to keep Mike Danylyshyn off the Fairport scorebook and senior Ryan Cunningham held Rynn to 1g in the game.
