PENNSBURY:
Falcons scalp Indians in overtime
Council Rock North has never beaten Pennsbury in boys lacrosse, and after a Kenneth Warren goal three minutes into overtime for a 12-11 final score, that record still stands. But coming from behind in the second half, the Rock made a strong run at the Falcons and almost grabbed the gold.
Falcon attackman Warren ended up with 3 goals and fellow attackman Peter Sweetland poured in 5 to pace the Pennsbury team to the dramatic win. For Council Rock North, attackman Doug Rheiner led the charge with 5 goals and and attackman Tyler Hamilton contributed with 3 of his own.
The first quarter saw the Falcons and Indians trading goals, until Pennsbury pulled ahead with two consecutive goals in the last minute of the quarter to set the ledger at 5-3 Falcons. Pennsbury goals in the quarter were by Shawn Caven, Peter Sweetland (3), freshman Ryan McDonald and Kenneth Warren, while the Council Rock North goals were by Gifford, Doug Rheiner and Tyler Hamilton.
The second quarter saw the Indians outscore the Falcons by a tally of 2-1, with the Rock's Doug Rheiner scoring on both of his on a man-up and an even-strength goal, while the Falcon's Kenneth Warren scored on a short-handed goal after beating a double-team on the outside.
The game was marred by a serious injury to Pennsbury midfielder Ricky Jutkiewicz, who was hit from behind as he drove to the net and suffered a severe laceration as his knee and shin scraped against an edge of the goal's pipes. The game was suspended while a medical team and ambulance came to assess the injury and take Jutkiewicz to the hospital.
Nursing a 6-5 lead, Pennsbury came out in the second half and scored four unanswered goals, with three of them in the first 2-and-1/2 minutes of the quarter. Sweetland intercepted a Rock clearing attempt and rifled a pass back to Warren on the doorstep for a triple-fake goal.
Warren returned the favor 15 seconds later when he dodged from behind the cage and fed an open Sweetland at the side of the crease for the put-in. Freshman Lewis Sears joined in when, filling in for Jutkiewicz, he dodged from the top and put in a bounce shot over the Rock goalie.
Two minutes later, attackman Calvin Hopkins found a cutting Tim Considine (midfielder), who grabbed the pass on the run and rifled in the goal for a 9-5 Pennsbury lead.
Not to be outdone, the Indians then went on a 6-goal run of their own that spanned the third and fourth quarters. In the third quarter, Hamilton and Rheiner scored the Council Rock goals - Hamilton on a fast break and Rheiner with a muscular drive in from the left wing - cutting the Pennsbury lead to 10-7.
The fourth quarter saw the Indian onslaught continue, with four consecutive goals against a reeling Pennsbury team by Rheiner (2), Hamilton and Brenner to put the Rock into their first lead of the game at 11-10 with 3:22 remaining in the game.
But the Falcons clawed their way back into contention when Kenneth Warren bulled his way in from the right side, drew the slide and hit Sweetland with a cross-crease pass that Pete converted with a double-deke shot to tie the game at 11-11 with two minutes to play.
Regulation play ended just as Rock goalie Dom Colarusso made a save on Kenneth Warren's last second shot, setting up the overtime period.
Pennsbury's Shawn Caven had dominated the centerfield face-off the entire game, with Pennsbury winning 18 out of 25 face-offs to that point, and he continued his statement by cleanly winning the face-off in the overtime period and gaining possession of the ball.
After a time-out to set up a play, the Falcons ran the ball behind the goal, with Sweetland and Warren setting picks for each other and running give and go plays – moving the Council Rock defense from side to side. Sweetland ran past a Warren pick then turned and passed the ball back to Warren, who attacked the edge of the crease at GLE and sent an underhand shot past the Rock goalie and into the far lower right corner for the game-winning OT goal.
For now, Pennsbury's streak versus the Rock is intact.
The victory sets up a key game April 29 against Abington as the two teams, both undefeated in Suburban One National play, vie for the league title.
The win puts Pennsbury at 8-5 for the year and 6-0 in the Suburban One National conference, while the CR North Indians are 7-5 on the year and 4-3 in the Suburban One National conference.
