Canaan, CT/New Canaan) scored two goals apiece to lift fourth-ranked
Gettysburg over No. 1 Middlebury 7-6 in non-conference men's lacrosse action
on Wednesday.
Pryor, a freshman attackman playing in just his third collegiate game,
found the net twice in a three-minute span of the third quarter to give the
Bullets (6-1) an insurmountable lead in a rematch of the last two NCAA
championship games. Key caused turnovers by Twombly and Jay Mayes (Pikesville,
MD/McDonogh) in the final minutes sealed Gettysburg's first victory in its
last four meetings with the Panthers (4-1).
Mike Saraceni scored twice and dished out an assist for the three-time
defending national champions, who were held to two goals and nine of their 19
shots after halftime. Eric Krieger, the winning goalie in both of Middlebury's
title-game victories against the Bullets, made nine saves.
Playing at the College's soccer venue due to delays in the renovation
of the Musselman Stadium playing field, the two teams battled through mud and
three quarters of steady rain to deliver another classic.
After Twombly opened the scoring with an unassisted goal at the 10:14
mark of the first quarter, the Panthers struck three times in a span of 4
minutes, 43 seconds to take a 3-1 lead. Saraceni put Middlebury on the board
off a feed from Andrew Giordano ahead of unassisted markers from Mike Murray
and Greg Bastis.
John O'Bannon (Marshall, VA/Highland) pulled the Bullets within one by
ripping home an extra-man goal with 16 seconds left in the opening quarter and
Twombly struck against just 52 seconds into the second to knot the game at 3.
Mark Foster made it 4-3 Panthers with 6:40 left before the break, but
Gettysburg's Chase Stewart (Downingtown, PA/Downingtown) sent the game
deadlocked into halftime with a highlight-reel goal. The freshman attackman
fell to the ground while splitting two defenders to the left of the cage, but
still managed to fire a ground-ball shot past Krieger to make it 4-4.
In the second half, the all-freshman attack combination of Pryor,
Stewart and Evan Gallant (Lutherville, MD/Loyola-Blakefield) gave the Bullets
enough offense to emerge victorious.
Kevin Smith (Baltimore, MD/McDonogh) put Gettysburg ahead to stay at
the 13:03 mark of the third and Pryor netted his second collegiate goal 26
seconds later to make it 6-4. Less than three minutes after that, Pryor struck
again, this time from the right side of the crease off a quick feed from
Gallant for a three-goal Bullet lead.
Saraceni got Middlebury back into the game, scoring with 3:36 left in
the third and assisting on Charley Howe's goal with 10:24 remaining to cut the
deficit to 7-6. The Panthers couldn't pull even down the stretch, however,
coming up empty on an extra-man opportunity in the final five minutes.
Gettysburg goalie Tim McGinnis (Ellicott City, MD/Loyola-Blakefield)
stopped Howe on Middlebury's final shot of the game with 3:02 left. Mayes
forced a Panther turnover on the visitors' last offensive possession with just
over a minute remaining and Twombly knocked down a pass to halt Middlebury's
final clearing attempt with 30 seconds left.
The victory provided Gettysburg with a small measure of revenge for
Panther victories in each of the past two NCAA championship games. Middlebury
defeated the Bullets 15-10 in the 2001 title game and 14-9 last season.
Gettysburg's last victory in the series before Wednesday was a 10-6 decision
at Musselman Stadium in 2000.
The Bullets return to action on Saturday at home against Centennial
Conference rival Washington (Md.). Game time is 1 p.m. |
