and senior attacker Matt Coughlin (Denver, Colo./Regis Jesuit) had a goal
and an assist during a 4-0 third-quarter run that started the Bishops on
their way past previously unbeaten Denison in non-conference play on
Saturday at Selby Field.
It marked the first time since 1990 that Ohio Wesleyan had scored 20 goals
against Denison, covering a span of 26 games.
After a nip-and-tuck first quarter, the game featured a handful of potential
turning points with each team bouncing back.
With Ohio Wesleyan holding a 3-2 lead late in the first quarter, Bishop
defensive midfielder Brian Small (Baltimore, Md./Calvert Hall) stepped in
front of a clearing pass by Denison keeper Peter Royer (Avon,
Conn./Westminster), stole the ball and beat Royer back to the goal for a
score with :22 left. It was the first collegiate goal for Small.
Denison responded with a goal by midfielder Keith Bishop (Dublin/Coffman)
right off the opening faceoff of the second quarter, but that didn't deflate
Ohio Wesleyan as Coughlin scored 30 seconds later to give the Bishops a 5-3
lead. Denison answered with a goal by midfielder Kevin Sullivan (Timonium,
Md./Boys Latin) less than a minute after that to once again make it a
one-goal game.
Ohio Wesleyan again threatened to grab the momentum late in the second
quarter. With time running out, Coughlin somehow picked up a ground ball
near the Denison crease and sent an improbable pass toward the goal, where
junior midfielder Andy Rowe (Alpharetta, Ga./Penfield, NY) caught the ball
and dunked it into the net for a 9-6 Bishop lead at halftime.
But once again the Big Red bounced back. Attacker Ryan Berger (Devon,
Pa./Conestoga) scored less than 2 minutes into the third quarter when his
rocket hit the body of Bishop keeper Paul McCommons (Smyrna, Del./Dover),
and when McCommons turned to try to locate the ball, it rolled out and into
the net. McCommons was injured on the play and left the game, replaced by
freshman Mike Comeau (Bedford, N.H./Bishop Guertin), who came in cold off
the bench. Momentum seemed to be turning Denison's way when attacker Andy
MacIlwaine (Charlottesville/St. Annes-Belfield) scored on shortly thereafter
to cut the deficit to 9-8.
Ohio Wesleyan's defense held tight, however, and then the Bishop offense put
together its 4-0 run to stretch the lead to 13-8 late in the third quarter.
Denison clawed back to within 14-11 with less than a minute remaining in the
third period when Berger scored goals :08 apart, but it appeared Ohio
Wesleyan had broken that run when Coughlin blistered a shot into the net at
the horn ending the third quarter. However, the goal was waved off, giving
the Big Red a boost entering the fourth period.
Ohio Wesleyan bounced back to score first in the fourth quarter, getting a
goal by junior midfielder Frank Bedford (Villanova, Pa./Radnor) with 13:48
to play and another from Rowe just over a minute later to increase the lead
to 16-11. The Bishops slammed the door with 3 straight goals midway through
the quarter.
Coughlin led all players with 3 goals and 5 assists on the day, while Rowe
scored a team-high 5 goals for the Battling Bishops. Schlegel and Bedford
each added 3 goals and an assist.
Berger led Denison with 5 goals and an assist. Kevin Sullivan added 3 goals
and 2 assists and Andy MacIlwaine had 2 goals and an assist.
McCommons made 6 saves and Comeau finished with 12 saves for Ohio Wesleyan,
while Royer had 14 saves for Denison.
