Kenyon 13, Ohio Wesleyan 11
April 20, 2008
Sophomore midfielder Ricky Scheetz (Dublin/Jerome) scored to give Ohio Wesleyan a 10-9 lead early in the fourth quarter, but Kenyon scored the next 4 goals to take the lead for good on the way to a North Coast Athletic Conference win on Sunday in Gambier.
Scheetz scored off a pass from sophomore midfielder Chaz Narwicz (Yardley, Pa./Holy Ghost Prep) less than 2 minutes into the fourth quarter, breaking a 9-9 tie.
The Lords evened the game on a goal by Noah Flessel with 8:42 left in regulation time, then took the lead when Zach Wallace recorded a man-up score with 8:09 left in the game.
Devin Catlin added a pair of insurance goals, one with 6:05 to play and the other with just under a minute to go, allowing Kenyon to withstand a score by sophomore attacker Rob Young (Langhorne, Pa./Council Rock South) in the closing seconds.
Wallace gave Kenyon an early 1-0 lead, but the Bishops reeled off 3 straight goals, with senior midfielder Chris Eccles (Secane, Pa./Monsignor Bonner) setting up the first and scoring the next 2, to take a 3-1 lead after the first quarter.
Eccles scored again late in the second quarter to give the Bishops a 4-2 lead, but Kenyon rallied with scores by Flessel and Catlin during the final 2 minutes of the period to even the game at 4-4 at halftime.
The Lords continued their run with goals by Flessel and Fred Kridler early in the third quarter, only to see Ohio Wesleyan rally with goals by Young, sophomore midfielder Robb Shrader (Worthington/Thomas Worthington) and junior attacker Nick Gallagher (Columbus/Dublin Scioto) to reclaim the lead at 7-6 with 9:40 left in the third quarter.
Kenyon answered with a Brett Fuller goal just 13 seconds later, but the Bishops once again had an answer, with Gallagher ringing up a score only 10 seconds after that, once again giving Ohio Wesleyan a one-goal lead.
Young's man-up goal 30 seconds later stretched the Bishop lead to 9-7, but Kenyon caught the Bishops with scores from Wallace and Jordan Zimolka as the third quarter ended with a 9-9 deadlock.
Eccles led the Bishops with 3 goals and 2 assists, while Young also scored 3 goals and Gallagher finished with 2 goals and an assist.
Senior Ryan Perone (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Prep) went the distance in the Bishop goal, making 10 saves.
Catlin had 3 goals and 2 assists for Kenyon, Flessel had 3 goals and an assist, and Wallace scored 3 goals. David Page stopped 13 shots in the Kenyon goal.
