MEN’S FOOTBALL                                                                                 Overall:  4-2            SCIAC: N/A

 

10/21/00            loss                   Menlo College d. PP, 42-32

 

The Sagehens traveled north to Atherton this past weekend and came away with a loss to Menlo College.  The Hens got down early in the contest, as they went into

 halftime with a 28-0 deficit, and couldn’t quite make it up despite outscoring Menlo 32-14 in the second half.  The game proved to be an air assault from both

 teams as all 11 touchdowns in the game were scored via the passing game.

Offensively, the Sagehens came with a very balance attack, collecting 212 yards on the ground and 203 by way of the pass.  Ryan Hattersley carried the bulk of the

load on the ground, rushing the ball 36 times for 145 yards.  Matthew LaCoss also got in on the running game with 6 carries of his own for 70 yards on the day.  In

his first stint at quarterback this season, LaCoss was also the main contributor from that position, as he threw the ball 29 times, completing 18 of those attempts for

182 yards and an impressive 5 touchdowns on the day, all in the second half of play.

Jonathan Samples led the receiving corps on the afternoon, gathering 7 catches for 75 yards and a touchdown.  Ben LaCoss got in on the action as well as 2 of his 3

 catches resulted in touchdowns.  Jeremy Grad and Thomas Woo were the other two Sagehens to catch touchdown passes from LaCoss on the afternoon. 

Defensively, the Hens again demonstrated solid rush defense, as Menlo was only able to run for 39 yards on the day with no touchdowns.  It was a different story

through the air, however, as Menlo College gained 510 yards via their air attack, throwing for 6 scores.  Alan Flores and Shea Joaquim led the individual defensive

efforts for the Hens, collecting 10 and 8 tackles, respectively.

The Sagehens will next play at Occidental in a night game, on the 28th at 7:00.

 night as well, collecting 8 kills and 12 digs.  Erika Gamst set the table 23 times for her teammates as well as coming up with 9 digs.

             The Hens next took on nationally ranked La Verne, and stretched the match to 4 games.  Jessie Franzetti stood out for the Hens, gathering 13 kills and 10 digs on

the night.  Alison Rindlaub contributed offensively as well with 15 kills.  Erika Gamst came up with 33 assists and 10 digs on the match.

            A day after the match versus La Verne, the Sahehens went up against the Tigers of Occidental.  The Hens got 4 kills from Alison Rindlaub and 3 kills from Colleen

Chrisco on the night.  Erika Gamst provided 13 assists on the match.

            The Hens have 3 more matches this week, including a rematch with CMS on the 24th.

            The men’s soccer team came up with two more large SCIAC victories last week to maintain a tie for first place in the conference.  Against Caltech, the Hens again

 dominated the Beavers, winning 10-0.  The Hens outshot the Beavers 30-7.  Ian Preikschat and Andrew Watkins were both multiple goal scorers on the day with 2 goals

apiece.  Jay Schneider made 2 saves in net for the Hens.

            The Sagehens then took on the squad from Occidental and escaped with an overtime win.  The Hens dominated play, outshooting the Tigers 25-7, but the score

 would still remain 1-1 at the end of regulation.  Netza Bravo came up with the big overtime goal on an assist from Sean Daugherty in the 103rd minute of action.  Bravo also

produced the assist for the first goal of the game scored by Jason Magee.

            Nick Zabriskie stopped 4 shots in net for the Hens.

 stopped 7 of the shots that came his way.

            Marc Cavagnolo and Ryan Mekel-Parker led the Sagehen scoring while Ben Speicher contributed 3 assists in a losing effort versus La Verne on Saturday.  The Hens

 were able to stay with the Leos until about half way through the 3rd quarter when the score was knotted at 6.  At that point, La Verne erupted for 3 unanswered goals and

dominated play for the rest of the game.  David Ratner showed improved play in goal, recording 8 blocked shots and 3 steels for the contest.
