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)." |
