SSFC Spotlight: Kristian Fletcher making progress with D.C. United

EXCERPTS…. Kristian Fletcher is considered a top prospect in Major League Soccer, coming off of a brief but productive half-season loan with Swansea City’s U-21 side. Upon returning stateside, the 18-year-old D.C. United midfielder has become a regular in the lineup and continues to display an appealing upside that should yield further transfer interest in the future… Born in the city of Bowie, Maryland, Fletcher played with Bethesda SC and the Landon School, being named All-Metro Player of the Year as a junior with 26 goals and 7 assists in 17 matches and registering the winning finish in the Interstate Athletic Conference championship final. Observers praised him as “a dynamic midfielder with plenty of speed and flair” who was “a nightmare to defend” and “extremely fast” with “excellent control of the ball at his feet… Upon returning to D.C. United, Fletcher was ranked as one of MLS’ top prospects and has settled into a substitute role. He appeared in four out of five matches this season and scored the tying goal in the 82nd minute of a 2-2 draw with the Portland Timbers, darting into the back side for an “easy finish.” Teammates and the manager have praised his contributions as the teenager works to “fully maximize every single second.””

BEARS VS BEARS

#12 PENN (Stephen Bou) 11

DARTMOUTH (Will Cohen, Cameron Brown, Zak Oehlerking) 8

Cam firing away in the Hanover white out.


In a steady snow, Dartmouth took the lead with a four-goal run in the middle of the first half. The last three of those were scored in just forty-one seconds and were the result of Big Green taking full advantage of non-releasable penalty.  Penn bounced back with three scores to take the lead back, then Dartmouth was able to knot the game up at six all at the halftime break.  The grounds crew did an admirable job of clearing the field during halftime, unfortunately the lines were completely obscured just five minutes into the second half.  Penn dominated the third quarter 4-0 and extended their lead to five with the first goal of the fourth quarter.  Dartmouth scored the final two goals of the game.

Cam scored one goal, the first of a three-goal run for Dartmouth during that man-up run in the first half. He also put one other shot on goal and found a ground ball in the snow.  Will had two ground balls and two caused turnovers and Zak got some playing time.

OTHER GAMES

DARTMOUTH (Will Cohen, Cameron Brown, Zak Oehlerking) 9

#10 Georgetown 21

The Hoyas took an early five-goal lead and thereafter controlled by game by not allowing back-to-back goals to Dartmouth throughout the game.  Georgetown extended that early lead with sets of two or three goals in a row before blowing the game wide open with a six-goa run in the fourth quarter. 

Zak saw his first action of the season against Georgetown.  Will got to three ground balls and caused one Hoya turnover while Cameron covered one ground ball.

#5 DENVER (Ryan Giles) 7

#3 Duke 11

The Blue Devils scored the first four goals of the game then successfully held off a series of comeback attempts by the Pioneers.  On three occasions, Denver pulled within one of Duke on three occasions, but each time Duke countered.  After the Pioneers pulled within one in the middle of the fourth quarter, Duke mad sure it was the last such threat with a three-goal run.

Ryan covered two ground balls for Denver.

#14 HARVARD (Joey Graham) 11

#15 Princeton 14

No snow, but pretty miserable constant cold rain in this game.  Harvard and Princeton traded leads in the first half then the Tigers closed out the half with a three-goal run to lead 7-4 at the break.  The Crimson ran off three straight to start the second half to tie the game then Princeton countered with two to regain the lead.  Two from Harvard tied the game up at nine.  Princeton’s response was another three-goal run, but Harvard could only muster two in response before Princeton closed out the game with a pair of scores.

Hobart (Jackson Galiani) 7

#6 Syracuse 13

The first half of this match between upstate New York rivals was fairly even with Syracuse taking a one-goal lead at the break after netting one with twenty seconds left in the half.  The game shifted in the Orange’s favor in the second half as Syracuse scored four times in the first eight minutes of the third quarter.  Hobart trimmed the Syracuse lead to three with a pair of goals to finish the third quarter, but only Syracuse scored in the fourth.

#20 MICHIGAN (Hunter Taylor, Graham Hertzberg) 12

#8 Maryland 11

Coming into the 2023 season, Michigan had lost all eleven of their games against Maryland.  A pair of 2023 wins for the Wolverines were key to their strong finish to that year, including their first NCAA tournament appearance and win.

The Wolverines picked up their third straight against the Terrapins, but they had to come from behind late in the game to get the win.  Michigan had a slim two-goal lead early in the second quarter when Maryland went on a scoring run, cashing in for four goals to go up by two.  Michigan scored twice to tie the game again, but Maryland squeezed in one more before halftime to take the lead again.  After a bit of a slow start to the second half, the teams each scored once before the Wolverines got the lead back with three consecutive goals and led by two early in the fourth quarter.  Maryland used three straight scores to retake the lead.  Michigan stopped the run and tied the game up at ten midway through the fourth quarter, only to see the Terrapins net one to get the lead back two minutes later.  Michigan tied the game up a minute later then got the winning goal a minute after that.

Hunter had one ground ball and made nine saves in the game.

NAVY (JT Thomas III, Preston Lugar) 7

Villanova 14

Villanova pulled away from Navy with the last five goals of the first half and the first two of the second half.  Navy had no answer for that. 

NAVY (JT Thomas III, Preston Lugar) 17

Holy Cross 7

Navy scored twice to start the game, then Holy Cross took the lead with three straight scores.  Navy took the lead back with three of their own.  Holy Cross stopped that run with a goal in the later stages of the second quarter.  The Midshipmen then went on a tear, scoring six straight goals across the end of the first half and start of the second.  Holy Cross interrupted that run with a single goal, then Navy racked up five more.

JT saw his first playing time for this season.

OHIO STATE (Cullen Brown) 9

#7 Penn State 12

The Buckeyes dominated early on with five straight goals in the middle of the first half.  Penn State rallied back with three straight second quarter goals.  The Buckeyes squelched that run with the last score of the first half and led by three at the break. 

Penn State shut out the Buckeyes in the third quarter and had the game tied at seven at the quarter break.  The Nittany Lions kicked off the scoring for the fourth quarter and had the lead back.  Ohio State tied the game up again midway through the        final period, but only Penn State scored after that.

Cullen had one caused turnover and one ground ball.

#12 PENN (Stephen Bou) 7

Saint Joseph’s 12

Saint Joe’s four-goal run in the first quarter gave the Hawks the lead for good.  For much of the rest of the game, Penn was limited to one goal at a time.  The Quakers managed to string together three straight scores in the middle of the second half and that run cut Saint Joe’s lead in half, but the Hawks closed out the game with two late goal to get the win.

#9 YALE (Jake Cohen) 15

#11 Cornell 18

Over the first three quarters the teams traded single goal or short runs of two or three resulting in a slim one-goal lead for Cornell heading into the fourth quarter.  Big Red strung together their best streak of the game, netting five goals in the first half of the final quarter.  Yale came with three straight to cut Cornell’s lead in half, but they got no closer as each team scored once more before the final horn.

D-III

#12 AMHERST (Nicholas Kopp, Oscar Smink) 9

#10 Gettysburg 8

After Gettysburg scored the first goal of the day, Amherst scored eight straight goals.  Unfortunately for the Mammoths, the fifth goal of that run was an own goal.  The Bullets closed out the first half with three straight goals and then scored again to start the second half.  That goal pulled Gettysburg within one, the only goal scored by either team in the third quarter.  Amherst rebuilt their lead with a pair fourth quarter goals.  Gettysburg came back with two of their own to trail by one again.  Amherst won the faceoff after that last Gettysburg goal and managed to keep the Bullets at bay.

Nicholas won thirteen of twenty-one faceoffs and collected eight ground balls.  Amherst scored quickly off of two of his faceoff wins with Nicholas earning credit for a goal and an assist.

#9 BOWDOIN (Nico Schermer) 22

MIT 13

Bowdoin and MIT traded pairs of goals to start the game, then the Polar Bears took control.  Bowdoin’s offense netted four straight goals before MIT scored again.  Until well into the fourth quarter, Bowdoin scored in bunches, large and small, while limiting MIT to one goal at a time.  Bowdoin last big run was a set of nine in a row in the middle of the second half.  MIT halted that run then had their best output of the day, scoring three straight late in the fourth quarter.  Bowdoin halted that run then MIT closed out the day with a pair of goals.

COLBY (Colin Flood) 22

Saint Josephs’s of Maine 10

The Mules took control of the game right away scoring six first-quarter goals before Saint Joseph’s got their first.  Colby came right back with four more and led 10-1.  St. Joe’s netted a pair of goals, but Colby responded with three more.  Coby led by ten at the half and continued to control the game in the second half.

COLBY (Colin Flood) 10

Hamilton 13

Hamilton enjoyed short scoring runs for most of the game while limiting the Mules to one at a time.  Colby was able to string together three goals in the fourth quarter to halve Hamilton’s lead.  They got no closer as each team scored once more before time ran out.

DENISON (Will Savoy) 9

John Carroll 4

Goalies ruled in this contest, with Denison’s net minder saving 75% of John Carroll’s shots on goal and Carroll’s goalie getting to 63% of Denison’s shots on goal.  Denison got the lead with an early three-goal run and finished off John Carroll with a three-goal run to end the match.

DENISON (Will Savoy) 20

Kenyon 10

Denison dominated the middle quarters to pick up the win in their North Coast season opener.  The game was marred by fifteen penalties which yielded eight man-up goals and one man-down score.

#7 DICKINSON (Will Single, Andrew Atkins) 11

Muhlenberg 6

Dickinson slowly and steadily pulled away, scoring twice for each Muhlenberg goal.  That pattern flipped once in Muhlenberg’s favor, but the Red Devils bounced back with the last two goals of the game.

Will caused one turnover for Dickinson.

HAMPDEN-SYDNEY (Owen Hegadorn) 19

Randolph 1

The Tigers scored seventeen goals across the first three quarters before Randolph got their lone goal to start the final period. 

Owen played in the game and saved both of the shots that Randolph put on goal during his tenure in the cage.

HAMPDEN-SYDNEY (Owen Hegadorn) 11

Randolph-Macon 7

Randolph-Macon took a one goal lead into the locker room at halftime, thanks to their three-goal run that closed out the half.  That was the end of the good times for them as Hampden-Sydney shut them out in the second half while netting four goals to win the game.

OHIO WESLEYAN (Quinn Coughlin) 16

Wittenberg 4

From late in the first quarter until early in the fourth quarter the Bishops scored fourteen goals with just one Wittenberg score squeezed in the middle. 

Quinn took one shot in the game.

#11 WASHINGTON & LEE (Will Bou, Will Abramson) 22

Elmhurst 10

After a rough weekend in Owings Mill, the Generals got back to their winning ways.  The Generals opened the game with an extended scoring run, netting ten goals before Elmhurst got the first of the game.  Elmhurst scored twice more to finish the first half.  W&L lead off the scoring in the second half then Elmhurst came back with another three-goal run.  Washington and Lee wiped out the effect of Elmhurst’s two three-goal runs by reeling of six in a row with that run lasting until there were four minutes left in the game.

Will Bou won seven of twelve faceoffs, taking one of his wins straight to the goal for his first goal of the season.  Will Abramson also played in the game.

#11 WASHINGTON & LEE (Will Bou, Will Abramson) 24

Guilford 6

The Generals allowed Guilford just one goal at a time and, after extending their lead incrementally through the first three quarters, Washington and Lee ran off twelve unanswered scores to wrap up the game.  The Generals took twice as many shots, scooped up twice as many ground balls and won twice as many faceoffs which enable their domination of the scoreboard.

Will Bou won six of eleven faceoffs and covered two ground balls.  Will Abramson played in the game.

BEARS VS BEARS

#10 YALE (Jake Cohen) 17

#14 HARVARD (Joey Graham) 15

With the historical depth of these two schools’ rivalry, it would seem more fitting for this game to be the last, not the first of the Ivy League’s season. 

Yale led by seven at halftime, having engineered progressive longer scoring runs while limiting the Crimson to just one instance of back-to-back scores.  Yale extend their lead with the first goal of the second half, then Harvard flipped momentum their way with five straight scores, narrowing Yale’s lead to just two.  Yale doubled that lead with a pair of scores, but two from Harvard got it back down to two.  The Eli wrapped up their scoring with a man-down score before Harvard got their final tally of the game.

#7 DENVER (Ryan Giles) 9 

OHIO STATE (Cullen Brown) 6

Denver never trailed, but in a low-scoring game, they could never get comfortable.   The Pioneers three-goal run in the middle of the second quarter withstood the Buckeyes two-goal run that concluded the scoring in the first half.  In the second half, all the scoring was single goals, back and forth.

Ryan took one shot for the Pioneers and Cullen was busy for the Buckeyes, scooping up seven ground balls and causing one turnover.

MR. BROWN for the Denver and the Detroit Mercy games was named B1G D-POW

OTHER GAMES

DARTMOUTH (Will Cohen, Cameron Brown, Zak Oehlerking) 11

Vermont 10

Big Green wrapped a four-goal run and a three-goal run around Vermont’s first goal to jump out to an early lead.  Vermont held on and turned tables on Dartmouth in the fourth quarter got their own string of four straight to tie the game at ten with eleven minutes left in the contest.  Only Dartmouth would score after that, getting the game winner while a man up with over eight minutes left in the match.  Vermont had several scoring opportunities over the balance of the game, but Dartmouth withstood the pressure.

Will picked up an assist, his first point of the season, plus a ground ball and a caused turnover.  Cameron took one shot.

HOBART (Jackson Galiani) 20

Le Moyne 9

Hobart got the lead early with three quick scores early in the first quarter.  After a goal by Le Moyne, the Statesmen followed up with six more.  Hobart put the game completely out of reach with a nine-goal run in the middle of the second half.

MICHIGAN (Hunter Taylor, Graham Hertzberg) 9

#2 Notre Dame 19

After an even first quarter, Notre Dame took off in the second, scoring seven straight goals before the Wolverines closed out the half with a goal.  The Irish ran off four straight scores to open the second half and then added another three after Michigan got their first goal of the second half.  Michigan got their first back-to-back scores since the first quarter with three fourth quarter goals.  The teams traded single goals after that.

Hunter had a tough day in goal, saving seven while giving up seventeen over three quarters of play.

NAVY (JT Thomas III, Preston Lugar) 10 OT

#8 Johns Hopkins 9

The Midshipmen pulled off the upset of the week.  The Jays had the early advantage, scoring twice to start the game and then, after giving Navy’s first score of the day, adding another four straight to lead 6-1 late in the first quarter.  Navy rallied back, closing out the first quarter with a score then adding three more in the second quarter.  Down by one at the half, Navy tied the game up right off the third quarter faceoff.  Hopkins stopped the run with a single goal then Navy pulled ahead with three in a row to close out the third quarter.  The Blue Jays quieted Navy’s offense in the fourth quarter and notched a pair of goals to force overtime.  Navy won the faceoff to start overtime and got the game winner on their second shot.

OHIO STATE (Cullen Brown) 16

Detroit Mercy 10

The Buckeyes seemed to be coasting in the first half, up 8-1 early in the second quarter.  Detroit Mercy did not roll over, they rallied back, scoring five goals to pull within two at halftime.  The Buckeyes ran their lead out to four in the third quarter, but Detroit Mercy cut it back to two early in the final quarter.  Ohio State quashed Detroit Mercy’s upset hopes by finishing the game with four straight goals.

Cullen caused a turnover and picked up one ground ball.

#12 PENN (Stephen Bou) 11

Brown 6

Penn was less ineffective than Brown with their shooting in the first half and led by one, 3-2, at the end of the first half.  Both teams improved their shooting in the second half, but the Quaker goalie was more up to the task, saving 70% of Brown’s shots on goal, while Brown’s net minder stopped just a third of Penn’s second half shots on goal.

BEARS VS BEARS

#14 AMHERST (Nicholas Kopp, Oscar Smink) 12

COLBY (Colin Flood) 7

Amherst’s four-goal run in the first half was sufficient to ensure a win for the Mammoths.  Colby’s attack was limited to one goal at a time.  For the game, Amherst averaged over two shots per cleared possession while Colby averaged less than one shot per cleared possession.

Nicholas won eleven of twenty-one faceoffs and picked up two ground balls.  Oscar also played in the game.

HAMPDEN-SYDNEY (Owen Hegadorn) 12

OHIO WESLEYAN (Quinn Coughlin) 11

The Tigers’ five-goal run in the middle of the game (two at the end of the first half, three to start the second half) turned a tie into a big lead for Hampden-Sydney.  The Bishops scored twice to close out the third quarter, but Hampden-Sydney scored twice to start the fourth.  The balance of the game belonged to Ohio Wesleyan.  The Bishops netted four goals in the final seven minutes, but the last one came with just eight seconds left in the game. 

MUSTANG CLASSIC

Stevenson University in Owings Mill, Maryland hosts a two-day lacrosse fest each year with the field comprised of some of the tops teams in D-III men’s lacrosse.  This year’s field of ten teams included eight ranked in the top twenty, including Tufts, RIT, and Dickinson—all of which are in the top five.  There were two Bears teams in the field: DICKINSON (Will Single, Andrew Atkins) and WASHINGTON & LEE (Will Bou, Will Abramson)

#4 DICKINSON (Will Single, Andrew Atkins) 9

#5 Christopher Newport 17

The Red Devils countered an early five-goal run by the Captains, scoring twice in the final twenty seconds of the first half to trail by two at the break.  The teams swapped single scores to open the second half, CNU then went on a scoring run, wrapping nine goals around a single Dickinson goal over the balance of the third quarter.   Scoring was even in the final quarter.

Will scored a goal for Dickinson and covered two ground balls.

#4 DICKINSON (Will Single, Andrew Atkins) 11

#11 York 8

Dickinson evened their record in the Classic as these two traded scoring runs throughout the game.  After York earned the first goal of the game, the Red Devils closed out the first quarter with a five-goal run. York came back with three unanswered goals in the second period and then tied the game with a score off the third quarter faceoff.  Dickinson replied with four straight scores in the first five minutes of the third quarter, then saw York net three in a row to trail by one at the end of the period.  Scoring was far less hectic in the final quarter, just two goals by Dickinson.

Will had one ground ball in the game.

#8 WASHINGTON & LEE (Will Bou, Will Abramson) 9

#3 RIT 15

Washington and Lee hung with RIT through most of the first half, but the Tigers pulled away with the last three goals of the first half and the first two of the second half.  The Generals stopped that run with their first score of the second half but were unable to develop any momentum over the rest of the game.

#8 WASHINGTON & LEE (Will Bou, Will Abramson) 9

Stevenson 10

Host Stevenson took an early lead with four straight goals in the first quarter.  The Generals came back to tie the game up at four late in the second quarter, then got the lead back in the middle of the third.  Stevenson rallied with five straight scores and led by four with eleven minutes left in the game.  W&L got their comeback attempt rolling as the clock showed less than five minutes remaining in the game.  The Generals pulled within in one with three straight scores and had a shot at tying the game up but missed wide of the goal on their final attempt.

Will Bou played in the game.

OTHER GAMES

#14 AMHERST (Nicholas Kopp, Oscar Smink)14

#15 Swarthmore 11

After Amherst scored three straight goals to wrap up the first quarter and take a two-goal lead, Swarthmore netted the first five of the second quarter and by the end of the first half led by two. The Mammoths came oh so close to shutting out Swarthmore in the third, netting six goals before Swarthmore got a buzzer beater at the end of the quarter.   Swarthmore followed that goal up with the first of the final quarter to pull within one, but only Amherst scored after that.

Nicholas got his first goal of the season, a goal that gave the Mammoths a lead that they would not give up.  Nicholas took four other shots in the game, won eighteen faceoffs, forced two turnovers, and collected twelve ground balls.

#6 BOWDOIN (Nico Schermer) 14

Endicott 17

Each team had short scoring runs—just two or three goals each, but Endicott had a few more of them and that made all the difference.  The teams were evenly matched in both shooting volume, shot quality, and goalie play, but Endicott enjoyed a big advantage in both faceoff wins and ground balls.

#6 BOWDOIN (Nico Schermer) 19

Connecticut College 11

The Polar Bears opened the first and fourth quarters with five-goal runs and limited Connecticut to no more than three at a time.  Bowdoin is one of three NESCAC teams with perfect records in conference play so far.

DENISON (Will Savoy) 7

#13 Gettysburg 13

Gettysburg took an early 3-0 lead in the first quarter, but Denison slow rolled a comeback with three straight, tying the game midway through the third quarter.  The Bullets got their lead back in short order with three goals in just two minutes.  Denison stopped that run with a goal, but Gettysburg put in four unanswered goals to go up by six.  Denison halved that lead with three straight, but Gettysburg closed out the game with one last three-goal run to set the final margin at six.

HAMPDEN-SYDNEY (Owen Hegadorn) 18

Berry 9

Hampden-Sydney came out firing and netted nine goals in the first quarter while giving up none.  Berry got things rolling in the second quarter with a pair of goals, but the Tigers took the game back reeling off seven straight scores with that run lasting until the middle of the third quarter.  Berry provided most of the highlights after that but was never a threat.

Owen saw some time in goal, giving up four goals and securing one ground ball.

LANDON LACROSSE 12 St. MARY’S OF ANNAPOLIS 6

The Bears are making a habit of destroying the WaPo rankings—having already defeated the paper’s #7 Severn and now the #5 St. Mary’s, one would expect that the heretofore #8 Landon to move on up. The Saints have a roster with 8 Div. I and one Div. II commits plus only an O/T loss to the Bulldogs of Rockville Pike.

On a cold and windy afternoon, after the Holton Panthers wrecked the Rockets of Richard Montgomery, the home boys opened up on O: @ 5:26 ANTHONY PANETTI found SEAN MURRAY for goal 1; soon thereafter, TROY ULISNEY swept down a lane and threaded a pass to ANTHONY for a 0:10.3 goal.

The X men (HAYDEN GOOZH and TALAN SMITH) and their wings won 2 and lost 1 in period 1. ZACH ABRAMSON defended the Bear Nets with 2 saves on 3 Saints shots.  The Bear transition game cleared the ball5 times with 1 fail while their athletic ride stopped 2 of three SMS clears.

END OF Q1 BEARS 2- SAINTS 0

This segment saw the home O unleash its power-soring 3 tallies to their opponents found the nets in the waning seconds. Again, ANTHONY connected with SEAN @5:20 to rack up his second goal and the team’s 3rd. The first unassisted Bear goal was recorded @ 3:27 on a nifty dodge by KEVIN MILLER. The MURRAY (A) and PANETTI (G) connection added Bear GOAL #5.

With 0:47.5 remaining until half the Saints scored.

Landon’s clear was 3 for 3; its faceoff 2/4; ZACH saw 3 shots and stopped 2.

HALFTIME BEARS 5- SAINTS 1

The MIAA A powerhouse came out of the break loaded for bear-scoring 2 times (at 11:52, 9:50) without response by the home team UNTIL @ 8:55 when ANTHONY fed RILEY LUGAR for Landon’s 6th goal.  The Saints added two (7:37, 5:53). The White Jerseys answered with an unassisted goal by SEAN @4:26 plus a TROY  to CHASE ROBERTSON goal @ 1:21 to restore a +3 margin.

END OF Q3 BEARS 8- SAINTS 5

Through these 36 minutes, COACH MCGETTIGAN used 4 attackmen, 11 middies, 3 LSMs, 4 SSDMs. 2 LSMs, 5 Ds and 1 G. Entering the last period, Landon’s depth and energy took over the game. ANTHONY’s speed made him open for an assist from SEAN @9:34. Speedy CHASE dodged to a good shot @3:52. Followed by AEDEN CASSIDY’s first goal as a Bear @3:52. and ZACH’s 4th Q shutout ended when he made a magnificent save only to have a Saint beat him on the rebound at 2:57. To close the door, CHASE beat the SMS goalie @2:18.

For the game ZACH had 5 saves on 21 Saint shots, The Bears fired at the Annapolitan goal 29 times. The clears were 16 to 2 fails, Faceoffs 11 wins 9 losses.

FINAL SCORE BEARS 12—SAINTS 6

ONTO TO DALLAS—good luck, If some parent would be so kind as to send me scores, scores, assisters, saves, etc. to sandy_murdock@yahoo.com

See you at the Cardinal Gibbons game.

D-I

Apparently, all you get out of being ranked #1 in D-I men’s lacrosse is a target on your back.  Denver’s one-week reign is over, so Army, you are up next!

BEARS VS BEARS

#15 YALE (Jake Cohen) 15

#1 DENVER (Ryan Giles) 13

Yale scored first then the Pioneers got their first lead of the day with a pair of goals.  The game toggled back and forth as Denver would go up by one then the Eli would tie the game.  Yale broke that pattern with a three-goal run but Denver got the game tied with back-to-back scores.  Yale netted one to finish the first half and one to start the second and led by two early in the third quarter.  Denver bounced back with a pair of goals to tie the game, and, after a single score for Yale, the Pioneers took the lead with another pair.  Yale grabbed the lead again with three scores to end the third quarter and one at the start of the fourth.  Denver struck back with three straight to create the game’s eighth tie.  Yale netted two and retook the lead.  Over the balance of regulation, Denver hit a couple of posts, but could not put it past the Yale goalie.

Ryan played in the game.

#19 HARVARD (Joey Graham) 13

#12 MICHIGAN (Hunter Taylor, Graham Hertzberg) 11

Harvard led by seven early in the third quarter driven by an initial run of four straight scores then two runs of three.  The Wolverines clawed their way back with their own run of four in middle of the third quarter.  After the Crimson stopped that run with a single score, Michigan pulled to within two late in the third.  Harvard ran their lead back out to four with a pair of goals.  Michigan scored twice to trail by two with over half the final quarter remaining.  Over the balance of regulation, Hunter saved both of Harvard’s shots on goal, but the Michigan consistently fired the ball wide of the goal.

Hunter had eleven saves on the day and got to one ground ball.

OTHER GAMES

DARTMOUTH (Will Cohen, Cameron Brown, Zak Oehlerking) 12

Stony Brook 15

Big Green had early leads, but Stony Brooks’ three-goal run to finish the first half scoring proved to be the difference maker.  The teams produced a storm of offense in the first half, scoring a total of nineteen goals.  The second half was relatively tranquil, with each team scoring twice in each of the final two quarters.

Cameron had a pair of man-up goals and also contributed an assist for Dartmouth.  Will chipped in with a caused turnover and a ground ball which led to Dartmouth’s fifth goal of the game.

HOBART (Jackson Galiani) 10

Albany14

Albany opened the game with a four-goal run and closed out the game in the same manner.  In between those fateful runs, Hobart battled back and were twice tied with the Great Danes.  Albany had every advantage in the game—shots, shots on goal, ground balls, and turnovers—but Hobart’s goalie’s eighteen saves kept them in the game.

NAVY (JT Thomas III, Preston Lugar) 10

Lehigh 12

The Midshipmen grabbed the lead with a three-goal run in the first quarter, by Lehigh matched that to close out the first half, giving the Mountain Hawks a one-goal lead at the halftime break.  Navy tied the game quickly to start the second half, then Lehigh connected on three straight to take the lead back.  Navy would tie the game twice more, but Lehigh was able to regain their lead each time.

OHIO STATE (Cullen Brown) 10

#3 Notre Dame 13

Notre Dame pitched a 3-0 shutout in the first quarter then leveraged a two-minute non-releasable penalty on the Buckeyes into a three-goal run in the second quarter.  Ohio State pulled within one of the Irish in the third quarter then Notre Dame ran their lead out to five with four straight scores.  Ohio State came back with two in a row, then each team got one more before the final buzzer.

Early in the second quarter, Cullen forced an Irish turnover, ran the clear and got off a shot that was high.  He contributed one additional ground ball.

#13 PENN (Stephen Bou) 11

Villanova 8

The Quakers used a pair of three-goal runs in the first half to lead by three at the break for halftime.  Villanova pulled within one with a pair of goals early in the second half, but Penn never let them get closer.  After that initial burst by ‘Nova, Penn matched them score for score before wrapping up the day with the game’s final two goals.

D-III

Welcome Oscar Smink of Amherst! 

Oscar, Landon ’22, is a sophomore who joined the Mammoths’ lacrosse team this season.  A rare collegiate two-sport athlete, he also plays for Amherst’s D-III hockey team.

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

#14 AMHERST (Nicholas Kopp, Oscar Smink) 16

Springfield 6

Amherst overcame a slow start but by closing out the first half with four straight scores, the Mammoths led 5-3 at the break.  Springfield pulled within one with the first goal of the second half then Amherst took over with a ten-goal run.  By the time Springfield scored to halt that run, there were just two and a half minutes left in the contest.  Each team scored once more before the clock showed zeros.

Nicholas won fourteen of twenty-two faceoffs but may have been a bit jumpy in the first half when he earned three trips to the penalty box for going early.

Oscar saw playing time in his first D-III lacrosse game.

#14 AMHERST (Nicholas Kopp, Oscar Smink) 17

Hamilton 5

Amherst picked up their first NESCAC win of the season.  The Mammoths started and ended the first half with pairs of scores and in between Hamilton’s two lone scores of the half they squeezed in a six-goal run.  Hamilton got their first back-to-back scores to start the second half, benefiting from a two-minute full time penalty against Amherst.  The Mammoths bounced back with three straight before Hamilton scored what turned out to be their last goal of the day.  Amherst recorded another three before the final horn sounded.

Nicholas had another solid day, outdoing several different Hamiltonians at the dot.  He won thirteen of twenty-two faceoffs, fired off a shot, collected six ground balls and caused one turnover.  Oscar played also.

#9 BOWDOIN (Nico Schermer) 19

Western New England 9

After some early back-and-forth play, Bowdoin took over the game with nine goals in row.  Western New England closed out the half with two goals and then Bowdoin kick started the second half by ripping off five straight.

#9 BOWDOIN (Nico Schermer) 16

#6 Middlebury 10

Bowdoin struck first with three goals in the first four minutes of the game.  The Polar Bears and the Panthers traded goals for the rest of the first half.  Bowdoin was off to a hot start for the second half, scoring five times before Middlebury halted their run.  The Polar Bears frustrated Middlebury’s comeback attempts, never allowing more than two goals in a row until the final quarter when each team scored three times.

COLBY (Colin Flood) 12

University of New England 5

The Mules picked up their first win of the season with rhyming quarters to start the game. In each of the first two periods, Colby netted four straight before New England scored their only goal of the quarter.  Play was more even in the second half as Colby did not run away with the game, but New England couldn’t make a dent in the Mules lead.

COLBY (Colin Flood) 13

Connecticut College 12

The Mules evened their NESCAC record by handing the Camels their second loss of the season.  Connecticut College had the early advantage with small scoring runs compounding the benefit of their defense not surrendering back-to-back goals to Colby in the first half.  The Mules got the first two goals of the second half, then another two after a single goal for Connecticut College.  Colby came back with another two in a row, to cut the Camels lead to just one.  Connecticut College ran their lead back out to three goals before Colby tied the game with three straight scores in the middle of the fourth quarter.  After seeing Connecticut College take the lead back, Colby scored twice to take the game, the winning goal coming with just twenty-six seconds left in the game.

#19 DENISON (Will Savoy) 6

#13 Lynchburg 13

Denison scored first, but Lynchburg ran off four straight scores to take the early lead.  Denison netted a pair of goals across the end of the first quarter and start of the second to trim Lynchburg’s lead to a single goal.  It looked like it was “game on,” but it proved to be “game over” as Lynchburg netted eight straight goals over the rest of second period and through the third.  Denison scored once more early in the fourth before Lynchburg recorded the last goal of the game.

#5 DICKINSON (Will Single, Andrew Atkins) 13

#20 Kenyon 8

Kenyon kept Dickinson under control in the first half, defending a slim lead for most of the first two quarters.  The Red Devils broke out quickly in the second half and took over the game with seven unanswered scores.  Kenyon got their only goal of the second half with five minutes left in the game.

Will got to two ground balls for Dickinson.

#5 DICKINSON (Will Single, Andrew Atkins) 14

Stevenson 6

Dickinson led throughout much of the first half, but Stevenson took the lead with a four-goal run to finish the first half then added a fifth to start the second half.  The Red Devils owned the game after that, scoring nine while giving up none.

Will played in the game.

HAMPDEN-SYDNEY (Owen Hegadorn) 11

Ohio Northern 9

Hampden-Sydney flipped a two-goal deficit into a two-goal lead with four straight second half scores.  After Ohio Northern snapped that run with a single goal, the Tigers scored twice more and held on for the win.

OHIO WESLEYAN (Quinn Coughlin) 14

Saint Vincent 3

Ohio Wesleyan scored the first six goals of the game and, after Saint Vincent got their first, the Battlin’ Bishops reeled off another six. 

Quinn saw playing time in this game.

OHIO WESLEYAN (Quinn Coughlin) 10

John Carroll 9

A slight goal tending advantage for Ohio Wesleyan proved consequential in an otherwise even match. With key possession statistics nearly even, OWU’s nearly 60% save rate, compared to Saint Vincent sub-50% effort.  The Bishops took the lead in the middle of the second half when they converted four successive shots on goal into four scores.

#12 WASHINGTON & LEE (Will Bou, Will Abramson) 15                                                                                                

#7 Gettysburg 8

The visiting Generals took over the game early with six unanswered goals in the first quarter.  Washington & Lee was up by eight when Gettysburg cobbled together their first run—three goals to complete the third quarter.  Unfazed, W&L punched back with four straight scores to stretch their lead to nine.  The Bullets pulled with seven with a pair of late fourth quarter goals but could get no closer.

Landon Lacrosse 16 Severn 7

The Admirals cane to Bordley Stadium at Triplett Field with a gaudy 3-0 record including convincing wins over STAB and StA. Their roster included 5 Div. I commits (in particular a FOGO heading to PSU with an IL 87 rating) and 2 headed to Div. III. WaPo found their resume merited a #7 ranking (one above the Bears.

It is standard lax gospel that winning at X is a key to victory and Severn benefited from their FOGO’s skills. That advantage was reduced by Landon’s goalie, ZACH ABRAMSON, who faced 44 Admiral shots, stopped 20 that were SOGs– frustrating this MIAA team. Another element to victory was the Bear clearing and ride play- the home team cleared 22 times with I fail. Severn had the reverse performance crossing the midfield only 7 out of 10 attempts. The third key to the Home victory was the unselfish ball movement on the O end of the field resulting in 16 goals with 6 assists.

Early in the 1st Q, @10:54 KEVIN MILLER grabbed a rebound off the Admiral’s Goalie and put the fist number on the scoreboard. KEVIN @7:40 added another tally for a 2-0 lead on a brilliant dodge from GLE. Severn notched its first goal at 4:55 only to see KEVIN record an assist on a CADEN SOUTHWORTH goal @ 3:23—Bears +2 advantage. Next the visitors brought the score to -1 on a nice score at 1:08.

END OF 1ST Q BEARS 3 ADMIRALS 2

Landon’s D (in numerical order–CHRISTIAN DEYMUDE (ssdm), ELI SMINK 9d). OWEN DAVIS (lsm), JACOB DIRWINSKI (d), AHMED ZAID (ssdm), NATHAN FURGESON (ssdm), JT MATHURA (d), LOGAN CASSIDY (d) and a number of 2 way middies)—frustrated the Admirals. PLUS, the attack and this defensive corps denied their opponents any clear for much of the 48 minutes. Conversely these well-coached sets led to a number of turnovers leading to Bear goals.

A COACH KUBIK play a pass from speedy ANTHONY PANETTI to CHASE ROBERTSON @9:24 resulted in GOAL #4 for the Bears. Not conceding anything Severn tallied its 3rd goal at 7:02. That was the end for the Admirals in the second period.’

The value of an aggressive ride was shown @10:18 DAVIS OWENS after a turnover ran free into the Severn D zone, cranked his long pole, and deposited the ball in the back of the nets- 8-3. Again, the Bears’ precision passing came to fruition; this time a pass from CHASE found the webbing of TROY ULISNEY for Landon’s 9th goal @9:30.  The boys from Severn responded with their only goal in this quarter at 7:41.

POST SEASON HONORS 

The Bears on the football team already knew that he knows how to organize, teach, and energize a squad; so, they are not surprised that the Maryland Athletic Association recognized COACH FURGESON FOR HIS SERVICE TO WRESTLING!!! That award may explain why his son JOHN won the Maryland crown. 

The Furgeson Legacy is solidified for this generation… 

Landon senior Nathan Furgeson is the last member in a legacy of siblings and their father which covers football, wrestling, lacrosse, and baseball.  

Furgeson ended his wrestling season two weeks ago as a private schools’ state champion and Maryland’s second-ranked 175-pounder by Legacy Wrestling behind Linganore’s undefeated Class 4A-3A state champion senior Ethan Arneson (37-0 record). 

A three-sport athlete, Furgeson was named the Interstate Athletic Conference’s Player Of The Year as a football quarterback and safety on the Bears’ IAC co-championship team as well as Landon’s Most Valuable Wrestler. 

“Nate was a team player this year,” said Andy Katz, in his 29th season coaching the Bears. “Nathan bounced between 165 and 175 pounds depending on where the team needed him. He’s one of the most competitive wrestlers I’ve ever coached.”

GOLF Coach Luther’s HAS foreBEARs his squad to emulate in 2024. The first matches have been cancelled.

Professional Soccer 1 

  • Kristian Fletcher L’23: WaPo– “Playing for the Swansea City’s under-21 squad, he scored multiple goals five times, including consecutive hat tricks, and finished with between 16 and 18, depending on the source of information, over at least a dozen appearances in multiple youth competitions… Though the level of difficulty on Fletcher’s goal at Portland was not high — a tap-in from inside the six-yard box — it kept Fletcher on track for a possible breakthrough season. 

The arrangement ended in December. Fletcher rejoined United for training camp in January. Last Saturday, he scored 10 minutes after entering the game in Oregon as D.C. (1-0-1) completed a late two-goal comeback to earn a 2-2 draw with the Portland Timbers. 

“That’s a big deal,” United Coach Troy Lesesne said. “For a young player like that, especially to step up in that moment, that’s exciting.” 

Fletcher credits the three-month assignment in Wales with helping him mature as a player and person. 

“It helped me regain some of my confidence because I wasn’t playing much last year here,” he said. Under previous coach Wayne Rooney, Fletcher appeared in 10 of 34 regular season matches, starting once and assisting once, and started two U.S. Open Cup games. 

“To go over there and be able to not let [last season] weigh me down and feel like it was a fresh start, it was very good for me in terms of confidence-building and getting back in my groove again,” Fletcher said. 

“I had responsibilities living on my own, going to a different country, meeting new people,” he said. “I grew in my level of maturity. On the field, I learned some things, but I feel like mentally it was a very good move.” 

Hired this winter, Lesesne made a point of learning about Fletcher’s experience abroad. 

“It just inspired him in a different way to where he wants to fully focus, fully maximize every single second,” Lesesne said. “The sooner you can come to that realization — and you have talent like he has — the sooner you can probably realize the potential to go to a league that’s at that level.” 

Swansea City wasn’t Fletcher’s first experience overseas. While in high school, he worked out with several clubs and almost ended up joining Borussia Dortmund’s youth setup. 

United teammates have noticed a difference. 

“He’s been given more responsibility this year,” goalkeeper Alex Bono said. “He’s been asked to play a bigger role and he’s really grasped it with two hands. Really excited to see what he can do for us.” 

… 

“Freedom,” said Fletcher, The Washington Post’s All-Met Player of the Year in 2021. “The liberty to do anything that I see fit in this situation while still having our team ideas and keeping our game model in mind.”

Landon Lacrosse 10 St. Paul’s 11

Though it was a peaceful ride from the White Rocks to Brooklandville, the Bears’ 1st Q did not go well. Perhaps it was the Crusaders’ red hot goalie, or their 5* stud attackman headed to UNC or maybe the roster with 7 Div. I recruits (+4 Div. III), but at the end of Period 1, the home team led 6-2- a tough deficit from which to recover.

The visitors’ first tally was  a feed from CADEN SOUTHWORTH to KEVIN MILLER @6:17 the score at 1-1. Then Landon took a lead when TALEN SMITH won his face-off and sprinted down the field to score @6:11. The bus-bound Bear legs then led to 5 Crusader goals at 6:02 (F/O), 5:46, 4:17, 2:30 and 1:11.

ZACH ABRAMSON faced 13 shots with 10 SOGs and 4 saves. At the X TALEN SMITH won 3 of 5 F/Os with 3 GBs.

END OF 1ST PERIOD BEARS 2 CRUSADERS 6

Thereafter, the Bears dug out of a big hole—winning 2-4 quarters 9-3. The Landon D held SP to 1/1/3 goal for the remaining periods.

In Q2. Landon scored 4 to get within striking distance-

@9:28 ANTHONT PANETTI fed MAKANA NEVEROSKY for his 1st Bear goal. Soon thereafter, @8:05 CADEN SOUTHWORTH showed his speed and deception to register the team’s 4th goal. The run continued when CHASE ROBERTSON exhibited like skills for Landon goal @7:01. The home team responded with a score at 4:28, only to see DEVIN STEWART add a goal @1:35.

The 2nd period saw 9 Landon shots, while ZACH stopped one of two SOGs; the close D, LSMs and SSDMs did their job. TALEN SMITH won 3 of 6 F/Os with 3 GBs

END OF 1ST PERIOD BEARS 6 CRUSADERS 7

Post Halftime, the Bear coaches (McGettigan, Bordley, Cassidy, Kubik, Padalino, Powell, Smith) made adjustments at both ends and at X.  To make it tied at 7-7, CHASE added another G @11:30. Then @6:21 KEVIN MILLER scored to take the lead. The Crusaders responded at 9:04.

Bears put 9 SOGs; Crusaders 5 with 1 ZACH save. HAYDEN GOOZH won 2 of 4 F/Os with 1 GB.

END OF PERIOD 3 BEARS 8 CRUSADERS 8

Landon gained a +1 advantage @4:35 on a goal by TROY ULISNEY.  The score was evened at 6:15 and then the Crusaders reached a +1 advantage at 5:01 and a +2 advantage on the scoreboard at 3:34 on a fast break. ANTHONY brought the Bears within a goal @ 1:39. Landon had another O possession and made more SOGs, but the SP goalie stopped them.

ZACH made 4 saves on 10 shots and his Bear Brothers made 14 shots.

The official scorer informed me that ZACH had the unusual lax stat– an assist on one of the goals

FINAL SCORE BEARS 10 CRUSADERS 11

On March 12, the 2-0 Severn Admirals come to Bordley Stadium for a 4:30 pm game.

SO SORRY!!! but pleased that two families contacted about errors. They have been corrected!!!
