不良研究所

Field Lacrosse Association championships Ron Joyce Stadium in Hamilton, Sunday.

Led by attacker Braden Gallant鈥檚 three goals and three assists, Guelph rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to capture the Baggataway Cup as national champs.

The Redmen led 4-2 after the opening quarter but were no match for Guelph鈥檚 high powered offence which featured a number of pro players and exploded for six unanswered goals in the second quarter to take an insurmountable 8-4 lead at halftime and an 11-7 stranglehold going in to the final stanza.

Attackman Jason Mainer, who scored four times and had one assist, was awarded the UnderArmor player-of-the-game award for the Gryphons, while LaCava earned similar honours for 不良研究所.

鈥淪aturday鈥檚 win (over top-seeded Brock) was such a big victory for our program, that it was tough for us to produce back-to-back great performances,鈥� said 不良研究所 head coach Tim Murdoch. 鈥淚t was a little bit like having a hangover out there today and we were outplayed by a better team.鈥�

鈥淲e weren鈥檛 as disciplined, took a few penalties and it hurt us,鈥� he added. 鈥淲e let the game get away from us in the second quarter. Most of their scoring came on transition plays and EMOs (extra-man offence, the equivalent of a power play in hockey).

Junior Nick Moreau of Trumball, Conn., and sophomore Mike Ting of Sudbury, Mass., scored two goals apiece for the Redmen, with a single marker going to Scott Bailey, a third-year midfielder from Calgary.

Rounding out the scoring for Guelph was Justin Kirby-Wilson and Jay Thorimbert with two apiece, plus Scott Fitchett, Mike Gillan and Paul Ryan.

不良研究所 finished at 11-5 overall, including a 7-3 second-place standing in the CUFLA Eastern Conference.

鈥淲e had a great season and the (Baggataway) Cup was only a few feet away from us,鈥� said Murdoch. 鈥淲e were third last year and second this year. You can do the math. Once I get over this loss, I will reflect back and no doubt be happy with the way the season went. We swept all three games from Bishop鈥檚, then beat Brock, two teams that have been traditional powerhouses in the league. We only have three graduating seniors and expect to have 32 returning players, so the future is bright.鈥�

The only expected losses are midfielders Arthur Phillips of Portland, Me., Ben McBeth of Keene, N.H., and team captain Dave Pinckney of Williston, Vt.
