Seton Catholic savors first Section 4 boys lacrosse title
Washington's 27 saves thwart CVJune 3, 2009 TOWN OF FENTON - With a performance he called "the best game of his life," Seton Catholic Central goalie Mike Washington helped deliver the first Section 4 boys lacrosse title for the Saints. Washington made 27 saves and Jesse Wood led the way offensively with five goals and four assists as Seton CC built a seven-goal first-half lead before holding on late for an 11-9 victory over Chenango Valley in the Section 4 Class C title game Tuesday. Six other players each scored a goal for Seton CC (16-3), which will meet the Section 10 champion in a state Class C first-round game 1 Saturday at SUNY-Potsdam."It's the best feeling," said Seton CC coach Travis Eckler, a member of Union-Endicott's Section 4 Class A title team in 1999. "I won one as a player 10 years ago, but now I can't go out there and shoot. "I can just teach these guys how to play, and to see what they've accomplished, it's great." Seton CC led 9-2 after two quarters and held an 11-5 lead following Wood's fifth goal with 5:48 remaining in the fourth quarter. CV (17-3) responded with a furious rally, scoring the next four goals - three by Kyle Bakker - to draw within 11-9 with 1:03 remaining. The Warriors had a chance to get within a goal in the final minute, but Washington made a nice save on a Devin Ferry shot, and the Saints took possession and ran out the clock."I was feeling nervous when we got up (seven)," Washington said. "It was like 'now, we have to win it.' "It got a little close at the end, but we were able to hold on." The Saints earned their state playoff appearance with a superlative first-half performance that was stunning when considering the two teams split contests by identical 12-11 scores during the regular season.With Washington making several impressive saves early and Wood tallying a pair of goals, Seton CC led 4-1 after the first quarter. Wood added two more goals in a five-goal second quarter capped by Leo Moran's goal with 12.5 seconds remaining that put Seton CC up 9-2. CV scored the first three goals of the third quarter, the third by Mike Korinek with 8:24 left, to get within 9-5, but Washington and the rest of the Seton CC defense buckled down until CV's late-game push. CV coach Pete Weston felt Washington's play as a major difference in the outcome. "Mike had a heck of a day; he turned back a lot of good shots early and that got in our heads," Weston said. "We dug ourselves into a bit of hole, and when you get down that far and that fast, there's not much you can do."Wood's play also was a major factor. He's one of Section 4's top offensive players, and the inability of CV's defense to slow him down, particularly in the first half, was another reason CV's season ended in the Class C final for the second straight year. "Every practice, every game, you never have to motivate Jesse," Eckler said. "He always comes to play, and he did that (Wednesday)." Saturday, April 25
Thrilling OT Win Keeps Saints Boys Lax JVs Unbeaten
The Seton Boy’s JV Lacrosse team (7 – 0) remained unbeaten after a thrilling 10 – 9 overtime win against Maine-Endwell at Seton CCHS’ Field of Dreams. Mark Ziolkowski’s dodge from top-center and shot scored the winner about 1 minute into OT. Seton moved into OT on an outstanding save by Brian Walter with just under 25 seconds left in regulation a scrum ensued just above the ME restraining box. The ball kicked towards the Seton goal and a lone ME player picked it up from about 10 yards out. Walter sprung towards the ME player as he shot. His quick reaction save from about 4 feet away from the ME player saved Seton from the loss. Next up for Seton is a home rematch against Chenango Valley next Monday at 4:30pm at the Field of Dreams. Seton was a 9 – 5 winner earlier. Scoring: Goals – Assists – Ground Balls Kelleher (4,0,3) Burtis (1,1,3) Daly (2,0,5) Ziolkowski (2,0,12) DePersiis (1,3,0) Elsey (0,1,6) Kane (0,0,6) Washington (0,0,4) Hart (0,0,2) I would be remised by not mentioning the Seton D-Poles outstanding effort this season. While Seton’s offense has been averaging 12 goals a game the Seton defense led by their poles have given up an average of 2.3 goals per game.

Saints JV Boys begin the 2009 season strong !
The Seton JV Lax Boy’s team beat Owego 11 – 2 on the ‘Field of Dreams’ field Thursday April 9 to improve their record to 4 – 0. A sluggish Seton team allowed Owego to jump out to a 2 – 0 lead at the end of the 1st quarter. The Saints woke up in the 2nd quarter with two goals and the defense held firm to tie the game at the end of the 1st half 2 – 2. Goalie Mike Navarro came up with 5 big saves in the 2nd quarter to keep Owego at bay. Seton jumped all over Owego in the first 4 minutes of the 3rd quarter with 3 quick goals and finished the quarter with a 8 – 2 lead. The Saints stingy defense (Matt Washington, Dan McKiernan, David Hart, and Pat Clancy) continued their outstanding season play lowering Saint’s opponent’s average goals per game to a miniscule 3 per game. Goalies Mike Navarro (7 saves, 2 goals) and Brian Walter (4 saves, 0 goals) continued their strong tandem play in goal. Offensively Seton’s midfielder’s speed and athleticism continue to give opponents trouble matching up. The Saint’s ‘spread the wealth’ offense approach is reflected in the game box score. Faceoff man Jack Kane won 7 of 9 face-offs (including 6 for 6 in the 2nd half) allowing the Saints to take control the game.
Game Box Score: Connor Shanahan – 1g Cade Kelleher – 3g Jack Burtis – 2g Jake Daly – 1g Bob DePersiis – 1g, 4a Jack Kane – 1g Vinny Gaynor – 1g Scott Elsey – 1g, 1a Thursday, March 26
Saint's begin 2009 strong with a win over UE 11-2
Saint's looked outstanding in the opening game against UE. We saw significant inprovements in ball control during EMO, ground balls, and faceoff's. Defense looked outstanding and Mike Washington provided some huge saves once again. From today's paper: Two from SCC each outscore U-E in opener. The Seton Catholic Central duo of Jesse Wood and Joey Slavic proved too much for host Union-Endicott to handle in the visiting Saints' 11-2 win Wednesday in a non-league meeting of Section 4 Lacrosse Conference squads. Wood had four goals and Slavic added three to go with two assists for Seton CC, which held a 7-2 advantage at halftime of its season opener. "They run their whole offense through (attackman) Wood and (midfielder) Slavic," Tigers coach Jon Stank said. "They're extremely good players, we had a tough time matching up with them man-to-man." Stank added of the Saints, "They're going to give some teams some fits." Jesse Wood (4 goals) Joey Slavic (3 goals/2 assists) Ivan Jones (2 goal/1 assist) Leo Moran (1 goal) Lucas Hines (1 goal) Mike Washington (10saves) Matt Dittemore (2 saves) Saturday, January 31

The Saints will be playing games during the April school vacation week. Please notify the coaches if this is going to be a conflict. CAPT's workouts (conditioning) will begin the last week in February (2/23) at Seton immediately after school. Be prepared. You'll need running shows, your stick, and PE gear.

Saint's U-17 Players Win Frostbite Tourney
Congratulations to the Saints Lacrosse U17 Team. This past weekend, the team ventured down to Franklin & Marshall's Frostbite tournament. They played teams from around the Mid Atlantic area and represented themselves very well. After the first four games we were seeded 2nd going into the "semi-finals". Other very talented teams (including Malvern Prep - nationally ranked in 2008) were ousted from the flayoffs due to earlier losses.
Fifth game (semifinals), we won against Abbington and overcame our earlier loss. (That was a great win....)
A special note of thanks to the parents for letting their kids play in this tournament. We really have a great group of young men! Also a note of thanks to Mike O'Brien for all the pictures that he took! Thank you Mike! The pictures can be found on the website listed below.
