 --  As one might expect, the Penn Yan Carthage game was exciting. That being said, the excitement was early in the game and late in the game with lots of "filler" in the third quarter. A key to the game was in the ground ball dominance by Penn Yan especially during face offs where Penn Yan junior Anthony Luppino won 16 of 23.

The Mustangs scored first, at 7:46 when Bradley Voigt, an eighth grade attackman, scored on a take away from the goalie and a quick pitch by senior midfielder Nate Nichols. The Comets returned quickly and less than a minute later, when Derek Kehoe threw a hard sidearm shot past sophomore goalie, Cody Richardson. Carthage scored again, twenty-eight seconds later, when attackman Nick Piroli scored his first of three in a row as Thomas Grimm found him unattended on the high crease.

Penn Yan tied the game at 2-2 a couple of minutes later when Voigt picked up a loose ball that bounced off Carthage goalie Tyler Beyor near the crease. After winning the next face off Penn Yan, sophomore attackman Dylan Yonts took the ball behind the cage and fed the ball to Preston Maciejewski, cutting to the crease. The Comets won the next possession and Piroli ended up the with ball behind the Mustang cage, where he make a hard and tight cut right next to the right crease and a step from the goal-line extended, placed the ball in the upper right hand corner, giving Carthage another tie (3-3). On the next face off, and after a scramble, junior middie Adam Stork sent a long pass to Voigt, unattended and on the Comet crease and he quickly sent it to the back of the net. Exactly one minute later Stork drove the ball right down the middle and he scored with a wrist shot the bounced over Beyor's shoulder. Although Penn Yan was up 5-3, it did not last long as Carthage, about a minute later, on an intense and beautiful ride, broke a Penn Yan clear and Piroli scored an unassisted goal. The very active quarter ended with Penn Yan up 5-4.

Penn Yan took off at the top of the second quarter with three unanswered goals in the first six minutes. Maciejewski standing on the right wing, with the ball, wound up and threw a hard low shot into the net at 10:54. Nichols picked up a loose ball on the crease and popped it into the net a couple of minutes later. At 6:06, Voigt scored fourth goal when he, high above the crease, received a pass from Jordan Owen. The Mustangs had their largest lead at 8-4, but the Comets were not done. They scored the next two to finish the quarter to cut the Penn Yan lead to 8-6. Kyle Temple scored the first in man up with an assist from Grimm on his outside shot and Grimm (assisted by Piroli) scored the second on an outside to inside move and an underhand shot at the ankles of Richardson.

After the half time break, the Mustangs slowed the tempo to the point of boredom, but in the process limited Carthage's ball time. When the Comets did get the ball, they tended to rush their shots and gave Richardson a number of shots that were right in (or near) his stick. As a result, neither team scored in the third quarter and the score remained 8-6, Mustangs.

Although the Mustangs continued to hold on the ball at the top of the last quarter, Carthage scored at 9:40 and again at 7:41, tying the game at 8-8. The first goal was scored by middie Jon Woodworth who shot from the front left into the top right corner of the net. The second goal was scored by a fired up Derek Kehoe who dodged two Penn Yan defenders before shooting. The scores served as a wake-up call for the Mustangs who came back thirty-five seconds later with the go-ahead goal by Owen with on outside shot to the top left corner of the net. Two minutes later Voigt scored his fifth and last goal of the game after receiving a cross-crease pass from Luppino. With 2:15 left in the game, Richardson made two saves as the ball kept bouncing off his body, the third time the ball became loose, Grimm picked up the ball and ran behind the cage and then passed it to Hunter Craig out front who scored, making it a one goal game.

The ball went back and forth a couple of times before Carthage gained a hard-fought possession in their defensive end and called time out with 1:07 remaining. After clearing the ball the Comets had three scoring attempts, the last of which was with four seconds left on the clock, but were unsuccessful.

At the start of the game, it looked like it would be a high-scoring game with little defense and many individual mismatches, but as the teams settled down, both began to look like mid-season teams. The Mustangs won a great deal of ball time with critical ground balls and as the result of face off possessions. The Comets showed incredible patience, both offensively and at the defensive end, and, at least in the beginning of the game, some terrific college-material rides. Cody Richardson (15s/9ga) made some "must stop" saves and, on clearing, seemed to choose carefully when to let loose his quick pitch to the breaking defensemen and when to direct a more deliberate clearing pattern.

The Comets (Section III) drop to 3-2 and will face Watertown IHC in ten days, while the Mustangs (3-0) take on West Seneca East on Thursday.

At the half, the Barons led 8-6.

In the third quarter it was the Saints turn to have a volley of scoring and it was Yunker that would lead the Saints, much like Wool led the Barons in the second quarter.

Hemink added the final Saint goal of the day with a drive from behind the cage and an unassisted goal. Brighton scored the final two goals of the game, and both were scored by Wool. Defenseman Dan Pierce assisted the final goal for the Barons.

Bourne shot high and Corcoran came up with a terrific save to send the game into overtime.
