Let me tell you something, pendejo.

Great day for Collin, 4/1; Greyhounds still lose to the less than mighty Mighty Irish, 10-9. |

Oh, I know that ND LAX is heartbroken about this. But, this was his best scenario: Notre Dame wins and Collin has a great game! (Welcome back, my friend. It always is good to see you check in, and you should be expecting a call from me soon.)

http://www.laxpower.com/laxnews/news.php?story=12320 Powder Springs, Ga.- Loyola attackman Collin Finnerty scored a career-high four goals and assisted on another but Notre Dame's Ryan Hoff scored the game-winner with 5:24 remaining to break the tie and the ninth-ranked Irish held on for a 10-9 victory over the No. 17 Greyhounds in the team's season opener at McEachern High School. With Loyola trailing by a goal in the final minutes, Notre Dame goalkeeper Scott Rodgers denied multiple opportunities over the last 1:30 to preserve the win. Loyola midfielder Jimmy Daly had three good looks at the goal-the first being sent wide left- and the other two snatched up by Rodgers. Daly's last effort came with 15 ticks remaining. Trailing by a goal going into the final quarter, Loyola evened the game at 8-8 on Finnerty's fourth goal of the day just 1:30 into the period. Attackman Matt Langan found himself positioned behind the Notre Dame goal and passed it to Finnerty from 10 yards out, who buried his attempt. The Irish would reclaim the lead, 9-8, on Grant Krebs' second goal of the day with 9:19 left. The Greyhounds, though, would again claw back two minutes later on Daly's second of the afternoon, with the assist coming from midfielder Chris Hurst, to knot the action at 9 apiece. But Hoff's goal with five and a half minutes remaining--assisted by Krebbs--ultimately proved to be the difference in a see-saw afternoon of non-conference action. "I liked our kid's effort out there today," Loyola Head Coach Charley Toomey said. "We made a few too many mental mistakes but we competed and played hard, and we look forward to hosting Towson next week." A Hicks goal put Notre Dame up, 1-0, 6:12 into the game. The Greyhounds would quickly respond, though, as Daly made a nice move in the open field to beat Rodgers low and even the game at 1-1, two minutes later. The Irish would take a 2-1 lead with 2:26 remaining in the first on a tally by Hoff-- with the second assist coming from Duncan Swezey-- and David Earl would quickly make it a two-goal deficit with an unassisted goal less than a minute later. Loyola, though, proceeded with a 4-0 spurt over the next five minutes to claim a 5-3 lead. First, Eric Lusby received a feed from Finnerty to find the net with 0:25 seconds left in the first to trim the lead to Irish lead to 3-2. Then, Finnerty opened the second with a goal of his own at the 13:43 mark. He collected a groundball on a shot at the left side of the field and beat Rodgers high to tie the game, 3-3. Two minutes later, P.T. Ricci picked up a groundball in Loyola territory and raced upfield, finding Cooper MacDonnell, who beat the keeper for a one-goal advantage. On the ensuing face-off, John Schiavone controlled the draw and pushed toward the goal, finding Finnerty for his second goal of the day to give Loyola a two-goal cushion, 5-3. Schiavone won 14-of-20 face-offs and Loyola won 16-of-22 chances for the game. The Irish proceeded with three straight goals of their own over the next three-plus minutes, with a pair of goals coming from Neil Hicks, to give the team a 6-5 lead with 8:45 left in the half. After nearly eight minutes of scoreless action, Loyola's Jake Willcox scored an unassisted goal with 0:37 seconds remaining to even the teams at 6-6 going into intermission. Notre Dame's Grant Krebs opened up the third quarter with a goal just 13 seconds into the period. A goal by Finnerty--his third of the game--tied the match at 7-7 with 9:23 remaining in the third. Midfielder Taylor Ebsary provided the assist. The teams would go scoreless for the next nine minutes, before Notre Dame's David Earl found the net with 21 seconds remaining for the 8-7 advantage going into the final period. Loyola goalkeeper Jake Hagelin started and played all 60 minutes, making 15 saves. The Greyhounds picked up 26 groundballs for the game, with a team-high six from Ricci and four from Taylor Ebsary. Four players provided the scoring for Notre Dame, with Hicks and Krebs scoring three each and Earl and Hoff adding a pair. The Greyhounds return to action on Saturday when they host neighbor Towson at 1:00 p.m. on ESPNU at Diane Geppi-Aikens Field. * * * * Score by Period 1 2 3 4 Tot-------------------------------------Loyola.............. 2 4 1 2 - 9Notre Dame.......... 3 3 2 2 - 10 Loyola SCORING:GOALS: Collin Finnerty 4; Jimmy Daly 2; Jake Willcox 1; Cooper MacDonnell 1; Eric Lusby 1.ASSISTS: Taylor Ebsary 1; Collin Finnerty 1; Chris Hurst 1; Matt Langan 1; John Schiavone 1.

Hoff attended the same public high school that my three children attended. I saw him score nine goals in a game his senior year in high school. Loyola did not lose to a fluke goal or to an unworthy player.
