Bruins Fall to MUS in Semi-Final Match posted 05/18/2013 5/17/13 Semi-finals: Brentwood vs. Memphis University School
The big rematch of last year’s state championship game started out as a role reversal. This year, MUS jumped out to the lead, and Brentwood mounted the late comeback. But there would be no reversal of fortunes, as Brentwood’s comeback fell short, and the reigning state champs advance to the finals for a chance at a historic “three-peat” state title.
The first quarter started cautiously and ended close. MUS’s Peyton Klawinski passed down to Patrick DiMento on the crease for a goal two minutes in. Connor Hart put the Bruin on the board with two minutes left when he took the ball at X and powered around the left side for a no-angle wrap-around goal. With 16 seconds remaining, DiMento returned the favor to Klawinski who closed to end the quarter MUS 2 and Brentwood 1.
The second quarter was all MUS with Klawinski scoring two and Andrew Miller scoring one. At the half it was 5-1 MUS. Bruin goalie, Matt Purcell kept it close with five saves in the first half.
Klawinski had two more in the third, and close defender, John Valentine punched one in, increasing MUS’s margin to 8-1. With 14 minutes left in the game, Bruin defender, AJ Clarke snagged a groundball and maneuvered his way through MUS defenders. He found Hart cutting across the crease, and Hart juked MUS goalie Selby Austin and popped the ball past him to close it. With time running out in the third, Hart inside rolled his defender and dunked it, cutting the lead to 8-3.
DiMento scored MUS’s last goal with 10:25 left in the fourth. In a defensive adjustment, AJ Clarke shadowed Klawinski and silenced him for the remainder of the game. With nine minutes left, Hart took the ball from the midline and put on a dodge that left MUS’s middie on the ground. Hart split two more defenders and crashed in close to score. Hart fired another shot that was stopped by Austin, but he couldn’t retain possession. Michael Feeney picked up the rebound and shot it passed Austin for the goal. With 1:17 remaining, Hart again dodged and powered his way through double coverage, and in traffic, popped in an underhand behind-the-back shot. Brentwood would have several more shot opportunities from up top, but none connected. Time ran out on the Bruin’s rally with the final score MUS 9, Brentwood 6.
Hart led the offense with five of the Bruins’ six goals. Bruins’ cleared well with standout performances by Clarke and Oliver Moore. Purcell was strong between the pipes with 13 saves, and he was also a factor in field winning two huge after-shot possessions, intercepting two Owl passes and snagging 6 groundballs.
MUS will play Montgomery Bell Academy for the state championship today at 3:30 at Father Ryan. | | | Bruins Stop Christian Bros - Advance to Championship Weekend - posted 05/12/2013 5/11/13 Quartfinals - Brentwood vs. Christian Brothers
For the third straight season, the Brentwood Bruins lacrosse team has earned a spot among the final four in the State Championship playoffs. That spot was secured last night when the Bruins held off a fourth quarter blitz by the Purple Wave to defeat Christian Brothers 11-8. After allowing three goals in the first quarter, Brentwood's defensive unit adjusted to hold Christian Brothers scoreless for the next two quarters. In the final period, the Wave offense surged to score five goals, but that wasn't enough given Brentwood's steady scoring throughout the game.
Matt Richardson once again sparked the offense with the first Bruins goal at 8:02 in the first quarter. Michael Feeney struck next, taking a pass on the run and finishing. Connor Hart scored his first goal dodging between defenders and diving across the crease for the shot. Richardson finished what he started, scoring the last goal of the quarter and putting Brentwood up 4-3. Hart got his second goal early in the second on another power move through a double team. Richardson drew a slide and dumped over to Jackson Whitfield for a goal that made it 6-3 at the halfway mark. The Bruins rattled off three more in the third. Connor Byrd made a well-timed assist to Hart who ripped low to high for the hat trick. Hart would get a fourth when Richardson again drew defenders on a great dodge from up top and threw over them to Hart open on the crease for the quick stick finish. Richardson took the next one solo and fired a missile past the Christian Brothers goalie to net his hat trick. In the fourth, Will Martin out-quicked a pair of defenders and made a great shot to preserve the Bruin margin. Oliver Moore ended a four goal Christian Brothers run on a fast break streak to open space and a shot that popped the net and Christian Brother's chances.
Goalie Matt Purcell was strong between the pipes with seven saves and several highlight stops, and Brentwood's close defenders kept the Wave attackman quiet for most of the night. Moore and Keenan Hudsmith tipped the scale in the Bruins favor, winning 11 of 21 faceoffs. Brentwood won the groundball battle, most of which was handle by the middies between the attack boxes (Moore, 5; Richardson, 4; Tyler Spehr, 4; Hudsmith, 3; Martin, 2 and LSM Jack Hartfelder, 2). Hart and Richardson led the Bruins scoring with five points each: Hart with four goals and an assist, and Richardson with three goals and two assists.
Brentwood will play its semi-final game against Memphis University School next Friday night at Father Ryan.

| | | Brentwood Advances to Quarterfinals posted 05/08/2013 5/7/13 Brentwood vs. Franklin in Playoff Action
Brentwood faced Franklin in the opening round of the Division 1 playoffs, and the Bruins came out firing, scoring 6 goals in the first quarter and holding Franklin scoreless. The Bruin defense was smothering throughout the game with aggressive man-to-man pressure and well-timed slides.
Offensively, Connor Hart got things rolling with a goal off an assist by Jackson Whitfield, and Matt Richardson popped the net less than a minute later. Hart powered his way around the right side for his second goal, and then he assisted Whitfield and later Michael Feeney for the next two Bruin goals. Whitfield found Richardson with space, and the big middie closed for his second goal to end the quarter.
Franklin came out with their own burst of scoring in the second quarter. Senior midfielder Jimmy Negley used raw speed to blow by Brentwood defenders and find the net. Alex Zoller scored the next two goals for the Rebels. With 2:46 left in the half, Hart assisted Whitfield to stop the Rebel run. Just before the buzzer, Whitfield fired a high pass to Richardson on the crease who caught the ball and one-timed it over the goalie's shoulder. At the half, it was Brentwood 8, Franklin 3.
Negley scored his second goal midway through the third quarter. Hart from behind the Rebel cage found Matthew Smith open top right, and Smith fired for the goal. Oliver Moore dodged his way in to scoring position and brought the score to 10-4. In the final period, freshman Connor Byrd made some noise scoring one off an assist by Richardson, then assisting Whitfield for a goal. Jacob Baron scored an unassisted goal to cap the Bruin scoring. Negley and Zoller each added goals in the last two and half minutes to make the final 13-6.
Whitfield and Hart led the scoring with 6 points each: Whitfield with 3 goals and 3 assists and Hart with 2 goals and 4 assists. Richardson also had three goals and 1 assist. Moore and Kennan Hudsmith combined for 15 of 22 face-offs. AJ Clarke led the defense with 6 caused turnovers and 6 groundballs, plus another strong performance clearing the ball. Jonathan Dencker had 6 groundballs and 3 caused turnovers, and Jack Hartfelder had 2 takeaways and 4 groundballs. Bruin Goalie Matt Purcell had 10 saves on 16 shots on goal.
The Bruins advance to the quarterfinals Friday night when they host Christian Brothers of Memphis at Brentwood High School. Game time is 7:00.
