Hounds Previous Game Recap

LATE RUN POWERS MACHINE OVER HOUNDS 14-12 Loss marks six-straight for Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, NC (June 5, 2015) — The Hounds on Friday night put together their most complete effort of the season, but still fell to the visiting Ohio Machine 14-12. The game was tied through the early fourth quarter, but the Machine used a late three-goal run to seal their victory. Machine midfielder Jesse Bernhardt was named Coca-Cola Player of the game following his three-goal performance. The Hounds, meanwhile, were lead by captain John Haus (4g) and rookie Joey Sankey (2g, 2a) with four points each.

Brendan Fowler won the game’s opening faceoff, and the Hounds maintained possession to set up Mike Chanenchuk on the run. Ryan Flanagan grabbed the loose ball after the ensuing faceoff and dished it to Mike Saywer. Sawyer then found Josh Hawkins in front of the net to give the Hounds a 2-0 advantage less than one minute in. But the Machine answered with two goals of their own from Marcus Holman and Tom Schreiber.

With 5:26 left to play in the first, the Hounds defense forced a turnover to eventually set up a diving goal from Haus for the 3-2 lead. But Kevin Cooper responded for the Machine, tying the game at 3 after one quarter.

The next 15 minutes were action packed, as the game score was tied four different times. Haus and Holman scored twice more each, and Sawyer made it a 7-7 game with 3:20 left in the quarter. After failed possessions on each end, Henry Lobb carried the ball over midfield and ripped a 2-point goal with just 3.8 seconds on the game clock to give the Hounds a 9-7 lead at the half.

Momentum stayed with the Hounds at the start of the third quarter, as Sankey knocked a shot off the post but was able to pick up and bury his own rebound to put the home team in front 10-7. But the Machine rattled off three straight, including the second of the night from Cooper, to tie the game at 10 by the end of the quarter.

Greg Puskuldjian won the fourth-quarter opening faceoff and got the ball to Bernhardt for a quick goal, but the Hounds equalized shortly after with Haus’ fourth of the night. Bernhardt scored twice more to give the Machine a three-goal cushion, then Holman tallied his fourth of the night to put the visitors up 14-11 with 8:47 remaining in the game. Unfortunately the Hounds could only muster one-more goal in the final minutes, accounting for the 14-12 final.

The Hounds (1-7) will have next weekend off, as Major League Lacrosse hosts its 2015 All-Star Game on Saturday, June 13. The game will be played at Houston’s BBVA Compass Stadium with faceoff scheduled for 6:00pm. Flanagan, Haus and Fowler will be representing Charlotte in the event. The Hounds will return to action on Saturday, June 20th with a road game against the undefeated New York Lizards (8-0), who are coming off an 18-11 victory over the Florida Launch. Faceoff is scheduled for 7:00pm at Hofstra University’s James M. Shuart Stadium.

Lizards Previous Game Recap

LIZARDS TOP LAUNCH 18-11

Hempstead, NY (June 5, 2015) - Greg “Beast” Gurenlian lived up to his monstrous moniker in the New York Lizards’ 18-11 victory over the Florida Launch (1-7), going a beastly 27-for-31 on face-offs. Gurenlian, a 2015 Major League Lacrosse (MLL) All-Star, won the game within the game, sparking a high-powered Lizards (8-0) offense that included scores from a bevy of contributors.

Rob Pannell had a seven-point (five goals, two assists) effort, Tommy Palasek netted five, Matt Gibson notched a hat trick and an assist, and Paul Rabil turned in a four-point (one goal, three assists) performance. Ned Crotty scored twice, Jo-Jo Marasco had three points (one goal, two assists), and Kevin Unterstein added a goal for the Lizards.

With the win, New York inched closer to its 100th victory in franchise history. The Lizards will have the chance to reach the historic milestone on June 20th, with a contest at home against the Charlotte Hounds.

After an early feeling out process, Pannell got the Lizards on the board with 8:47 left in the first, on a shot between the legs of Launch backup goalie Adam Fullerton.

Florida starting keeper Brett Queener was forced out of the game with an ankle injury early in the opening stanza, but the Lizards had trouble capitalizing on the situation.

New York wrapped up the first period with a stretch of over eight minutes without a goal. Florida pressed the action after their starting goalie left the game, peppering away with shots until breaking through on consecutive goals from Kieran McArdle, Miles Thompson and Lyle Thompson.

Palasek found the back of the net 1:24 into the second to cut the deficit to one, but Casey Powell netted one to put Florida on top, 4-2, at the 10:38-mark of the second quarter. Unterstein got New York back within one with 3:22 before the half, and Crotty tied it at four in the waning seconds of the second.

Marasco broke open the deadlock in the first minute of the third, before Gibson connected to put New York ahead, 6-4. New York pulled away in the second half, outscoring Florida, 14-7, in the final 30 minutes of play. Drew Adams had 16 saves in the Lizards’ victory.

Looking ahead, New York returns home for a contest against the Hounds on Sat., June 20th at 7 p.m. The first 1,000 fans in attendance will receive a special edition Lizards t-shirt.

During the game, the Lizards will wear special edition “pink” jerseys that will be autographed and auctioned off to benefit the Susan G. Komen of Greater NYC. For tickets to the June 20th game, please call 1-855-NYLizards or visit NYLizards.com/Tickets.
