Yeah, the title is something that maybe the actual players in the game last night might not be fully familiar with . . . but what the heck, they can easily ask Siri about it Another Jupiter-Benjamin game and another barnburning fantastic game. I tweeted out that after the third quarter last night that the game was like watching two species of piranha going at it in a bath tub. And if you watched the ground ball battle last night you’d agree. No quarter asked, no quarter given. There was only ONE 2-goal lead the entire game and that was wiped out in short order. Prefer a good faceoff battle?  Dylan Frankhouser and Michael Lobosco went at it 22 times and Dylan won two more . . . with one of those in the OT, after a 45 second scrum.  Might have seemed innocuous at the time, but it was the last time Benjamin got a touch of the ball for 3:59 of the 4:00 of OT.  And the last second did not get played as Benno Janssen took the Chris Radice heave from the left behind corner, made a big boy pants catch, spun right and hit the top corner to win it. And finally, I got to watch Will Nicklaus play a regular season game . . . it’s been too long.  But the 4G/1A stat line was worth the wait, as was his 21-second burst of back to back rockets to tie the game in the last 2 minutes.  I suspect the ACC will be seeing a lot of him.  He earned each of them as he battled Jupiter’s Joey Bretz body on body in the trenches for most of the night. Goaltending wasn’t too bad either.  Bryce Kendrigan with 15 saves, including a few key ones late and one in OT that seemed to be impossible.  Jupiter’s two-headed tandem of Riley Quinn and Hunter Bracci combined for 10 of their own . . . and trust me . . . very few of them were Middle School speed. The rematch in the District final is only about 38 days away . . . The real story about the game was Jupiter’s offense overcoming their Oxbridge shooting shutdown from the start of the second quarter on.  Benjamin turned the ball over more but is was not by a large margin.  Jupiter shot 51 times to Benjamin’s 28.  In most lacrosse games at this level the quality of the shot is more important than the quantity but this was one of those rare occasions where quantity overcame quality.  TWENTY TWO of those shots were in the second quarter.  In the second half of the previous big game the team passed up open looks up front and this time, after a ‘feel it out’ first quarter between the teams, the word must have come down . . . ‘take the open shot or come off the field’. Kendrigan came up big given the time of possession difference and Jupiter struggled to go to the half with the lead.  The teams then swapped 6 goals in the third, leading to the late fireworks. The rematch is only 38 days away . . .   Benjamin got on the board first as Nicklaus found Trevor Natalie on the EMO down low right wing from up top and Natalie went high with the left hand to make it 1-0 at the 4:38 mark.  Janssen got that back with 1:30 left as he dodged the right wing towards the middle and his left hand hit the top right corner for 1-1.  Nicklaus then gave Benjamin the lead with 45 seconds left as worked from the top to the right alley, split two defenders to the middle, and hit the top right corner with the left hand for 2-1. Chris Radice tied it up at 2 a little more than a minute into the second with a left wing face dodge to the low left and hit the far middle with the right hand.  Riley Linden gave Jupiter their first lead, finishing off a lengthy possession of missed shots, with a right alley dodge and a right hand low shot at 6:40.  Long pole Ethan Denenberg tied it for the Bucs as he took off on a lengthy run and he went down the middle before finishing from in front with the low left shot at 2:33.  But fellow long pole Kai Stamper gave Jupiter the lead back just 18 seconds later as he walked in from the left wing and fired to the low right corner to make it 4-3 at the half. Less than a minute into the third Nicklaus tied it up as he dodged from top right to the middle and his left hand found the top left corner for 4-4.  Jupiter regained the lead on the EMO at 8:19 as Denver Aranda found Trevor Sousa on the top right from the right wing for the step down low shot for 5-4.  Chase Farriss took over for Benjamin at that point with two right alley dodges that pretty much mimicked each other, from ten yards out, first at 6:49 and then at 2:27, and Benjamin had regained the lead at 6-5. Less than a minute later it was Bretz taking the Kenny Cronin right wing fast break pass as he cut the middle and Bretz finished the left middle of the net at 1:32 to tie it again.  And then Radice gave Jupiter the 7-6 lead as he went behind, faked right, spun back left and out front, finishing with the left hand low to end the quarter. Janssen gave Jupiter the two-goal lead with 5:56 left as he curled from behind right and crossed up Kendrigan with the narrow angle shot, as it looked like the goalie expected the cross crease pass, to make it 8-6.  A minute later Jupiter failed to take advantage of a picked clearing pass behind the goal and the ensuing dash to the goal resulted in a missed shot and Benjamin had dodged a major bullet. After a few possession changes and an attempt to run clock that ended up with Jupiter turning it over with a little over 2 minutes to go, Nicklaus took over.  At 1:34 he made it a one goal game as he battled from up top, to the right wing and finally to the middle for the high left hand shot and after Benjamin came up with the ensuing possession he tied it 23 seconds later on the fast break, as the right wing pass from Lobosco found him on the left wing, and he lasered the shot to the high short side to send us to OT. As mentioned above, a 45-second scrum resulted for the faceoff and finally Jupiter won the possession.  After setting up the offense they were able to get three looks at goal.  The first one was somehow stopped by Kendrigan, the second went wide and the third one was Janssen’s winner. The rematch is only 38 days away . . . Jupiter hosts Palm Beach Gardens on Wednesday and Benjamin hosts MIAA power McDonogh, also on Wednesday.
