Thursday: Penfield over Schroeder

April 29, 2006 - Penfield, Schroeder and Fairport have now proved the idea that parity is alive and well in the Monroe County Class A teams. In other close games today, Brockport beat Athena/Odyssey by one goal as did Aquinas in their game with McQuaid Jesuit.
    
  Don't let the final score fool you into thinking that the Penfield vs Schroeder game was not close. It was clearly anyone's game until the last four minutes and with the exception of a few over aggressively verbal and non-verbal altercations, it was a perfect game on a beautiful afternoon at Penfield.
  
In a game that featured great defense by both teams and dramatic key saves by Penfield's Brian Dell and Schroeder's Dennis Costanza, the normally powerful offensive players on both teams struggled to get the kind of shots that they normally take for granted.
  
After checking each other out a number of times, Penfield scored first when Kelly McKenna hit the nets on an inside feed from Dave Malone at 8:31. Less than one minute later, Chris Ferry scored (unassisted) for Schroeder. At 4:24, Jay Willmes scored for the Warriors on a pass from Eric Chavoustie to give Webster the lead, but only for a couple of minutes as the Patriots came back with three quick goals before the end of the quarter. Kevin Green scored first (unassisted) at 2:11. Twenty-four seconds later Mike Arvan scored after dodging his defender and scoring on a stick high, corner shot. Nineteen seconds later Ben Foster scored an unassisted goal for Penfield who ended the quarter up 4-2.
  
Schroeder scored first in the second quarter when, at 6:11 Nick Monney scored on dodge and shoot to bring the Warriors to within one. After more transition time, Penfield scored again (McKenna from Arvan) at 3:34 and then increased their lead to three when Mike Cummings scored at 2:12. Less than a minute later the Warriors scored (Grant Catalino) who bulled his way past four defensive players before scoring at 1:06. The half ended with Penfield holding on to a 6-4 lead.
  
At the top of the third quarter Defenseman Drew Palmer cleared the ball, saw an opening and scored the unassisted goal for Schroeder. At 6:40, the Warriors tied the game at six when Ferry scored on a feed from Catalino. Penfield came back with two quick goals, as Mike Arvan scored on an outside shot at 2:52 and then again from a clear at 1:58. Jay Willmes scored for Schroeder at 0:32 with an assist from Catalino and Penfield was ahead at then end of three quarters, 8-7.
  
Both teams struggled at the top of the last quarter as the defensive units limited shots and what shots did get to the goal were saved by the goalies. In the end, the Patriots would hold Schroeder scoreless while they scored three of their own. At 6:56 Green scored on a feed from Arvan from a clearing fast break. Connor Rice scored (unassisted) on a drive from behind the goal at 4:24 and Green scored the last goal of the game at 3:03 on a pass from Rice.
  
There were key match ups all over the field including Penfield's junior defenseman Paul Vanthof who along with short stick "shut off man", Mike Cummings were often successful at keeping Schroeder's Catalino from getting the ball. Second efforts by the Penfield riding team also gave a slight edge to the Patriots in offensive opportunities.
  
Brian Dell made 14 saves for Penfield (8-1) while Dennis Costanza recorded 14 saves for Schroeder (6-2).
