PHILADELPHIA -
James Bienia's (East Moriches, N.Y./Westhampton Beach) golden goal, the first in program history, propelled the HFU Men's Lacrosse Team to an 18-17 overtime triumph over Quincy on Monday afternoon at Tiger Field.
Logan O'Keefe's (Levittown, Pa./Conwell-Egan Catholic) caused turnover and
Bradley Smith's (Egg Harbor Township, N.J./Egg Harbor Township) ground ball sprung a break. Smith then found
Nicholas Maccariella (Williamstown, N.J./Williamstown), who passed to
Jake Feeney (Voorhees, N.J./Eastern) to set up Bienia in front of net.
Individual Highlights
- Bienia led all players with nine points on four goals and five assists, all of which were career-bests, while adding a team-high six ground balls
- Feeney had six ground balls too, to go along with seven points on four assists and three scores
- Noah Simpson (Oshawa, Ontario/Henry Street) led all players with a career-best seven goals
- O'Keefe, Maccariella, Cole Galvao (Mount Laurel, N.J./Lenape) and Jackson Brown (Cape May, N.J./Lower Cape May) all caused multiple turnovers, with Maccariella adding his first career score
- Parker Smith (Dover, Del./Caesar Rodney) recorded a brace, while Smith also had multiple points
- Adam Wickel (Louisville, Ky./Trinity) made nine saves to earn the win in net
Inside the Box Score
- The Tigers had nearly triple the amount of caused turnovers, 11-4, to go along with a slight advantage in shots on goal, 31-27
How it Happened
- Holy Family led by as many as seven twice, at 8-1 and then 9-2 as Simpson found the net twice in the first 1:47 of the second quarter
- Quincy would tally five of the next six scores, but Smith's man-up goal 1:50 ahead of the break established an 11-7 edge entering the locker room
- The Hawks dominated the third though, 1-6, taking their first lead at 12-13 with 1:37 remaining in the period
- Quincy pushed its lead to two twice in the first half of the fourth quarter, including at 14-16 with 7:39 to go
- Simpson and Maccariella scored 12 seconds apart to tie it up though, and after the Hawks made it 16-17 with 2:59 left, Simpson equalized with 1:08 on the clock
- Galvoa's caused turnover and a Quincy penalty meant the Tigers would start overtime with the ball, but a turnover led to the Hawks gaining possession
