Young Rebels Take Down New Canaan 8-4

Zach Anderson scholar-athlete had 1 goal and 3 assists for the Future Rebels

The Eighth Grade boys lacrosse team traveled to Saxe Middle School to take on their New Canaan counterparts. The matchup is ironic considering that New Fairfield High School and New Canaan could meet in the finals of the state tournament if both schools win their semifinal games tomorrow.

Zach Anderson was dominant in face-offs and won eight of nine in the first half assisted by a hard-charging Billy Gantert coming in from the wing with his long pole. The Rebels scored quickly less than a minute into the game, Collin Cioffi finished off of a Zach Anderson pass. In the ensuing Rebel possession Zach Anderson fired a shot over the goalies left shoulder putting the Rebels up 2-0. New Canaan then scored to bring it to 2-1 before Ralph Baldelli delivered a pass to Collin Cioffi who bounced a shot past the New Canaan goalie.

New Canaan scored again to bring the score to 3-2, and the score did not change until a minute left in the half when the Rebels scored three goals in quick succession highlighted by Michael Librie's goal with time expiring.

With the game in hand the Rebels and Rams traded goals in the second half, and with a strong effort in goal by Carlucci their was never any doubt about the outcome of the game as the Rebels won 8-4. Collin Cioffi had three goals to lead the Rebels.
