semifinal

game here tonight between number seven

culver

and number 11

taft

from carlini field in washington d.c. The winner of this game gets Saint John's Adam Blind and goal for Culver number 33. He is a junior and is verbally committed to Harvard, so he will be the one in the cage for Culver and on the other side for The Taft School. Thomas Ricciardelli's brother Jeffrey, he's a junior, he's going to Notre Dame and he's been starting since his freshman year and that just takes a lot of miles, yeah, shot along the way on Thomas Ricciardelli's stop that shot the clocks on 15.

Up, Isaac Korres swings, shot on the way, count it, it's Ryan Levy who hits his first goal. tonight for

taft

chorus draw the little hedge the slide will be a quick movement of the ball in and out of your sticks short supports a couple of strong kick cuts the passing lanes open up so you open up the passing lane all that time and space i love his game the other way for the other 23 keys van wyck says he brings it with brilliance to score and taff returns with jeffrey ricky ellie right here pushing the transition you can see ricciardelli step up the soft throw from low to

high

close this is all the dolls here falling to the bench change it for saris, I mean, it's really easy and insignificant in terms of you know how good each goal is, how good each matchup player is and there's a lot of city on each side offensively and defensively and it's again jeffrey ricciardelli for the taft

school

who shoots with three seconds left in the first quarter for his second goal rarity keeping it on the wing kavanagh gets the grounder he skips it to his future notre dame teammate jeff ricciardelli his second of the day

culver

is one of 11 shots so far in and out of ricky adelli summer hayden now moves on to brandon sarris again when you have tom ricardelli in the cage making these saves look easy that's what makes a lot of sense but that's what what can happen, yes you have a team spinning and Machika here you will see it simple so when you touch it it slides from the wrong positions and now you can see the wheel that happens and Machika does a good job of coming out from behind, jeffrey ricciardelli. he has a hat trick for taft and they are up four to two and they take it to kavanagh, their best feeder, and then to rickery deli with the quick cut in his strong left hand, culver has to take drastic measures, it is the third different time that I ended up in that set almost two quick ones there for Taft's rebound, that's good, Fox gets it at that point so he's at full strength now, but Taft can start the second half with the ball and this three goal lead This is Ryan Levy.

I scored the first goal of the game tonight on the blind save and cutting when the flags come back up, a little tassel here at the end of this play and you're right, you like it, I absolutely agree with this call, here's the First, yes, of course. and then a second instead of one, right, there's no great officiating from these guys, what's that? There's no double jeopardy, you know, you get the first one, you can still get the second one there, but it's lucky in itself, it's okay for about 50 people, so I'm constantly reminded that it's one of those that's going to live on, oh, and a shot here of Ryan Levy shooting and connecting for Taft and look at that Kavanaugh broadcast for Levy, both players doing what they do best.

Kavanaugh is the starter at the feeder. He understands that. three goal separation again while you look at it from behind x forward write it down oh another great pass and this time it is kavanagh who scores it for his first goal tonight he has been acting as an assistant and now he scores his last assist was for ryan levy and ryan levy returns the favor here, the big lefty, you see, Kavanaugh just slid to the back door and then buried it with authority, that fake stick there opens up the passing lane, a very timely cut for the seventh goal, he stood tall here tonight for Taft, who arrived just four goals and this time the score of griffin skane receives the transmission of ty english and culver scores a man up goal makes English return to the front again shots score, they find davis provost who scores and that's two man up goals to give them so many opportunities for the man advantage just the pass everything is precise excellent positioning great movement without the ball to open the lanes pass to the front shot and the score this is wyatt levy, he does it again for taft and that's his third assist tonight, but here again, Kavanagh looks up, feeds the crease, nice cut from Levy using his right hand, right there, just a simple backdoor pass usually results in really good offense, they've taken advantage of it, oh what a low pass from Brandon Saris to Hayden. summer who scores and it's a one goal game uses his eyes with a tic-tac-toe pass one goal game summer in the conversion less than two minutes have passed here in the quarter the winner goes to st john's who beat georgetown prep previously in game

semifinal

number one the championship tomorrow night we have it for you at seven o'clock this on espnu at the top but girl saved by the demolisher nelly active outside the cage throws great exit passes he is going to take one to the hopper here here he says oh blind nicole against the goalie here trey taylor yeah he scores it for his fourth of the night here they caused the loss the nice roll here and then your eyes up and you push in transition and guess what you take the ball to him to Mr.

Kavanaugh The moment he's going to tear you apart, right, you were talking about Trey Taylor, there, who got sick, now with a low lighter, that's good, Rickardelli had to wait a second, he said, can I get it? He did it, it's his fifth of the night, hey. should probably throw something a little different out there very low angle low to low beats blind in the cage hit and it will kill hillary oh and a shot on top of culver they're trying to come back here that's machica number three machica just plant her feet turned in summer up machico opens a rotating movement this shot and that is wide up to the right well, it seems that they got a part he got a part defense you know the position of the field of play yes exactly and he is going to win the game Here I mean, now they have the ball and there's a five-second shot clock difference that will turn into jubilation when Taft wins 10-8 in the final here over Culverter and advances to the title game tomorrow night, like this that Kavanaugh is fine.

I know he took that hit at the end and he's one of our co-mvps tonight presented by
