Wildcats Whack Warriors 11-6

The West Genesee boy's varsity lacrosse team (13-2) captured their second straight win in a row against the Liverpool Warrior (8-8) at West Genesee High school by a score of 11-6.

Liverpool began the game scoring the first two goals of the quarter. The first at   9:20 by junior middie Ryan McGraw with an assist to long stick middie Kevin Murphy 1-0. Liverpool then followed up with their second in a row 2-0 Justin Rowley when junior attackman was assisted by junior midfielder Tyler Long. With the Pool seemingly having the early upper hand it was the Cats junior attackman Brian Donahue getting Genny back into the fray with the first of two consecutive goals. The first came with just 2:18 to go unassisted to cut the lead to 2-1. Less than a minute later at 1:19 Donahue struck again converting an assist from sophomore middie Luke Cometti knotting the score at 2-2 to end the quarter.

The Cats opened the second quarter with pair of goals compliments of another Donahue as junior attackman Collin Donahue scored his   first at 10:27,   3-2 with an assist from junior middie Joe Pompo, Donahue then added his second 4-2 less than a minute later 9:53 with an assist from junior middie Tim Desko.

With Genny assuming control of the game the Pool began to assert itself as senior middie Armando Bevard nearly cut the lead to a single goal if not for a point blank save by the Cats junior goalie John Galloway. However moments later at 5:15 Galloway wouldn't fare as well as Bevardo found himself alone in front of the goal and took a pass from junior middie Tyler Long and made the score 4-3. Liverpool then tied the score 4-4 as Galloway made an initial save on junior attackman Justin Rowley, but junior middie Ryan McGraw raked in the rebound and put it back in the goal before Galloway could react.

The final three minutes of the half belonged to West Genny as junior defenseman Chris Aubertine used a long clear to senior middie Scott Cost who went to the Pool net untouched and put a right handed shot past junior goalie Michael Grizanti with 3:34 to put the Cats up 5-4. It was Cost again with 1:27 on a solo effort as his shot to the bottom left corner of the goal eluded Grizanti and the Cats were up 6-4. West Genny's final goal of the half 7-4 came as time expired when senior attackman Robbie Farchione redirected a pass from senior middie Matt Grogan.

The Cats continued to roll in the third netting the only three goals of the quarter. The first at 8:23 came on a spectacular grab by senior defenseman Jaren Woeppel who extended his long pole fully on a dead run to snare a long clear by Galloway. Without breaking stride Woeppel found junior attackman Adam Mazzoni who put the ball in the Pool net 8-4. Collin Donahue then added his third of the game 9-4 at 7:17 when he converted a skip pass over the Liverpool defense from sophomore middie Luke Cometti.

With just 1:30 left in the quarter Collin Donahue added his fourth goal unassisted to give the Cats a 10-4 lead. Quarter number four began the way the third had ended as Collin Donahue was at it again this time with an assist to senior attackman Chris Schmidt with 7:16 left to go giving West Genesee an 11-4 lead that they would not relinquish. Liverpool did have a brief spurt late in the fourth adding two more goals but it was to little to late for the Pool as they dropped their second of the year to the Cats.
