Brewster Laxmen Edge Greeley on Dingee Goal

BREWSTER—Eight Brewster players reached the scoring column last Thursday, as the Brewster High lacrosse team rolled over Fox Lane, 9-2 in a game played at Brewster High. The Bears also slipped past Horace Greeley, 8-7, the prior Tuesday in Chappaqua.

Thursday against Fox Lane (1-2), after an even first quarter (1-1), the Bears pulled away with a 4-0 run in the second, and a 3-0 edge in the third.

For Brewster (2-2), Matt Heintz and Kevin Farrell each came up with two goals, MJ Garrity had a goal and three assists, Doug Biondi had a goal and two assists, Ryan Minsker, Tim Meyer, and Anthony Alfonzetti each had a goal, and Zach Salvia dished out a pair of assists.

Andrew Nicol stopped 10 shots on goal in the Brewster net, and Cameron Stevens had eight saves for the Foxes.

“I thought we played pretty well,” Bears coach Michael Honey said. “We possessed the ball for most of the game, but we didn’t shoot very well. We did do well on faceoffs, and scored on two man-ups. Andrew Nicol played very well in goal, and Salvia was great on ground balls.”
