New London, CT -
The Bears came out and played a hell of a first half - managing to keep it close through halftime trailing just 5-4. However, they came out flat again to start the second half and managed only one goal while giving up eight in the second half. 4/c Jimmy McCormick played a great game at short stick defensive midfield - his first lacrosse game EVER. Coach Ostrowski said they put together the best 30 minutes to start the game he's seen all season - all ten players clicking as a single unit. Most of the goals in the second half were fast breaks off bad transitions - this has been a recurring theme the last few weeks - something the Bears will have to solve if they hope to compete for post-season honors. 3/c Matt Chase led all scorers with 3 goals and 1 assist, followed by 3/c Kyle Ennis with 1 goal and 3 assists. 2/c Matt "Moose, Roucco - Help the Judge find his checkbook" Edes had 1 goal and 3/c Craig Velencia had an assist. Captain 2/c Roger Nayden and 3/c Craig Velencia led the team with 6 ground balls each. URI outshot the Bears 29-28 - Goalie 4/c Corey Pray had 5 saves. The game ball went to McCormick for his outstanding hustle. The "JACKED UP" Hit Coin went to 4/c Corey Pray who came out of the goal to make a huge hit on an unsuspecting Ram attacker. The Bears, now 1-4, will look to "right the ship" against PCLL Division 2 South rival - the University of New Haven - on Sunday. Will write more as details come in.
