Wild end of quarter surge powers Irondequoit
Irondequoit scored twice in the final 12 seconds of the third quarter to break a 5-5 tie and never looked back in a 9-7 home win over Canandaigua Tuesday night. The Grey Wolves are currently ranked 12th in the New York State Sportswriters Class B poll.
Shannon Seymour got the go-ahead goal with 12 seconds left after a CA turnover left the ball bouncing free right in front of the net. The next play was about as efficient as it gets.
Irondequoit won the faceoff and Lila Velepec got a head of steam across the Canandaigua restraining line. She fed Marin Jaeger at the top of the 8-meter arc who one-touched a pass to Revlie Genier on the crease. Genier fired without hesitation over the goalie's head with 0.6 seconds left to double the Irondequoit lead.
The Eagles scored the first two goals of the fourth quarter to go in front 9-5 and cruised home from there.
The domination of the last 12 seconds of the third quarter did not compare to what Irondequoit did in the entirety of the second.
Canandaigua could barely even clear the ball out of their own half and did not have a shot attempt the entire second period. Irondequoit got a pair of goals from Lucy Whipple sandwiched around one from Ellie Bottiglier and took a 5-2 lead to halftime.
The Grey Wolves owned the third quarter. At least the first 11:48. Lola Schorr found the back of the net 13 seconds into the period and Samantha Lupton scored a pair to draw CA even before Irondequoit's late flurry.
Whipple led Irondequoit with three goals. Seymour and Grace Bottiglier added two more for the Eagles.
Lupton had a hat trick of her own for Penfield while Schorr and Kiera Gioseffi each finished with two goals and an assist.
Irondequoit snapped a four-game losing streak to even their record at 4-4. Canandaigua fell to 5-4.
