Saturday Games

April 14, 2007 - Six games were scheduled for Saturday. Penfield, Hilton, Thomas, McQuaid Jesuit and Carthage were among the winners. No report was received for the Mynderse/Hamilton game.
  
  The game was a lot more closely contested than the 12-7 score would indicate, but Webster Thomas was the winner over host Rush-Henrietta on a cold but clear Saturday afternoon. Like many other games this week, this one started with a moment of silence in honor of Jeff Milano-Johnson.
  
Rush scored first, just 0:53 seconds into the game as Brian Hantzis picked up the first of his 2 goals with a feed from Matt Moran. The Titans came right back with a brother to brother goal, as Dom passed the ball to Nick Scalzo at 9:38. Thomas took the lead with a man up goal by Brendon Rothfuss (assisted by Nick Scalzo). After a five minute period without scoring, Rush scored the first of three in a row to take a 4-2 lead after the first quarter. Hantzis scored the first one after receiving the ball from Moran, but the assist was not recorded. Delone scored the next two, the first from a clear and the second on a drive, dodging two Webster players.
  
The second quarter was owned by Thomas who scored the first goal right from the initial face off. Maloney controlled the ball, picked up the ground ball and scored on his drive from the midfield. Moran scored at 7:59 to give R-H their only goal of the quarter. The Titans then scored four in a row starting with a goal by Rothfuss (from Max Gurowski). Dan Hinderland scored the next (assisted by Gurowski) in Man up. Rothfus received a cross crease pass from Gurowski and scored with an underhand shot at 1:44. Defenseman Jake Ziegler ran to the cage after clearing the ball and scored on an unassisted bounce shot with 0:10 left in the half. Thomas was ahead 7-5.
  
Rush scored the only goal in the third quarter when Hantzis shot, and the shot came out of the Titan goalie stick. By rule, the goal was credited to the Thomas "in-home", Nate Delone. The Titans had four penalties in the third quarter and held the Royal Comets off on all four.
  
The Titans scored the next three in a row bringing the score to 10-6. Rothfuss scored first (assisted by Pat Morrill) on a cut from behind the cage. Gurowski, driving from behind the cage in man up, took advantage of a missing post slide and scored to take the score to 10-6. Nick Scalzo scored another in man up (assisted by Dom Scalzo). R-H scored their final goal at 5:10 after Delone received the feed from Ryan Leonard. Thomas finished the game with unassisted goals by Dom Scalzo and Rothfus.
