Warriors down Knights for the first time
|
| April 19, 2011 |
For the first time in the six years they've been
playing against each other, the Bonners Ferry
Warriors lacrosse club beat the Logos Knights, a
small Christian school in Moscow, Idaho.
The Knights led throughout most of the game
April 13, leading 2-1 at the end of the first
quarter, 3-1 at the half and 7-3 going into the
final quarter. The Warriors, playing their home
opener, got their game on in the fourth, despite
being down five goals, 8-3, early in the
quarter.
Midfielder Stephen Bachman started the comeback,
winning five face in the fourth quarter while
attackmen Loren Abeyta, Sean Miser and Brennan
Mitchell and middies Josh Miller, Joel Fields,
Tyler Childers and Zach Wilson kept the pressure
on for the Warriors.
Leading the Warriors in scoring was Bryan
Murphy, with four goals; Colin MacDonald and
Mitch Carroll knotted two goals each. Stephen
Bachmann scored the winning goal in sudden
death, making the final score 9-8.
The Warrior defense was led by goalie Wesley
Kreiner, who had 14 saves on the game; and
defensemen Kyle Mullin, Shane Hefferman, Clayton
Wang, Hunter Borer, Philip Madura and Morris
McAllister limited the Knights to just two goals
in the last quarter and in the seven minutes
played in overtime.
The Warriors traveled to Coeur d'Alene Friday,
April 15, to face the Lake City High School
Timberwolves, and opened the scoring when
Carroll found the back of the net from about 12
yards out.
The Timberwolves answered back within a minute
and never surrendered the lead for the rest of
the game, winning 12-7. Even though it's a tick
in the loss column, the score is indicative of
how the Warriors are improving with each game
played. In years past, the Timberwolves
typically racked up double-digit wins.
Warrior goalie Kreiner faced 26 shots on goal,
and made an impressive 14 saves.
The Warriors played a home game today against
the Coeur d'Alene Vikings, and they'll be back
on their field at the fairgrounds at 5 p.m.
Thursday, April 21, to take on the Gonzaga Prep
Bulldogs. |
