11-7-08 State CHSAA Semifinal 4-0 W

The Friars take control.

BY JASON MOLINET

As the first semifinal game moved into overtime and beyond, there was a fear the long delay might impact the St. Anthony’s boys soccer team. The Friars warmed up. Then they retreated into the locker room. And then players came back out to watch as Molloy advanced past Iona Prep on penalty kicks, 4-1.

By the time the Friars took the field against CHSAA Buffalo champion Nichols, an hour had come and gone. Would it have an impact on the game?

Not on St. Anthony’s. The Friars dominated from start to finish, controlling the midfield in a 4-0 win late Friday in state CHSAA boys soccer semifinal at Adelphi in Garden City. Junior Nick Masotto scored twice and Nichols didn’t manage a shot on goal until the game’s final 1:05.

Call it complete domination. In fact, starting goalkeeper Alex Naples could do nothing more than clap on his teammates. Now St. Anthony’s (19-0-1), ranked second in the nation by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, plays Molloy for the state title at 3 p.m. Sunday at Adelphi.

“They weren’t ready for our style of play,’’ said midfielder Mike Valencia, who recorded two assists. “They were just chasing us. You could hear them getting winded after just 10 minutes.’’

Masotto got things going with 21:19 left in the opening half.

It was still 1-0 early in the second half. Keith Jecewiz pressed Nichols with two great drives. The first was a flick over the charging keeper just 30 seconds into the second half. But the ball sailed just over the crossbar. Jecewiz got the ball with a shot on goal again just two minutes later. This time he fired a blast that the keeper absorbed in the gut.

The Friars finally broke through in the 47th minute when Greg Mallia dribbled through a pack of defenders and fired near corner from just outside the box. The ball sliced between a narrow gap between the keeper and the post for a 2-0 lead.

Masotto struck again three minutes later and the rout was on. Coach Gene Buonaiuto began wholesale substitutions moments later.

Matt Barry closed scoring with 3:58 left. It was a long night, but worth the wait.

11-7-08 CHSFL Class AAA Quarterfinal 31-14 W

Tom Schreiber was lost in the first quarter.

BY JONATHAN WALTER

The injuries continue to mount for the St. Anthony’s football team. The second-seeded Friars may have beaten No. 7 St. Francis Prep, 31-14, in a CHSFL Class AAA quarterfinal on Friday night, but they lost their most irreplaceable player in the process.

Starting quarterback Tom Schreiber was sacked on the third play of the game and suffered a spiral fracture of the fibula, according to one account. He was transported by ambulance to Huntington Hospital.

St. Anthony’s (8-2) was already making due without its most explosive player in running back Atiq Lucas. He broke his leg against Chaminade three weeks ago. But at least the Friars had depth to draw from in the backfield.

There’s no replacing Schreiber. He finished the regular season with the second-best quarterback rating in the CHSFL AAA division. His loss will be tough for the Friars to overcome with two weeks of football left.

Schreiber, a top lacrosse prospect, will have to rehab hard to make it onto a lacrosse field in the spring.

Even still, junior Brendan Schroeder executed the St. Anthony’s game plan well enough.

Down 7-0 going into the second quarter, the Friars were looking for a spark after losing their leader in the first. Nicholas Ferrara got things started with a 38-yard field goal.

The Friars defense answered the call next as defensive back Taylor Chaney intercepted wideout Irick Baccari’s pass on a trick play and ran it back 64 yards for the score. Tight end Jerome Grazioli caught the two-point conversion to put the Friars up 11-7.

After trading punts, the Friars got a big play on special teams when linebacker Paul Alessandri blocked punter Thomas Brady’s kick. The ball fell into the end zone and Alessandri fell on it for the touchdown.

The Terriers managed to close the gap to 18-14 before the half on a 56-yard pass-play from quarterback Nicholas Ramirez to running back Tristan Akong.

That’s a close as St. Francis Prep (4-5) got. Nick Mercurio had a 61-yard touchdown run in third quarter and Kevin O’Malley finished off the Terriers with a 1-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter to make it 31-14.
