DELIVERY AVAILABLE kept Pleasantville contained, and Chris DiChiara rubbed it in with
his goal at 9:06.

Two more big saves by Ko continued to stop Pleasantville’s strut,
and after DiChiara broke down eld out of a timeout to score at
7:17, the Wolves were de nitely styling with a 4-1 lead. Nonethe-
less, the teams would trade goals, and McDermott made it a 5-3
with 1:19 remaining in the half.

John Jay appeared to regain the three-goal advantage when Ko
tried to turn defense into o ense. After John Jay took possession on
defense, the goaltender meandered farther and farther up the eld
before he broke hard for the net. His goal thrilled the crowd, but the
goalie was whistled o sides.

Unfortunately, the home crowd also had to sit down when Mc-
Dermott, Nicky Bates, and Challice ran o three straight goals and
took a 6-5 lead by the early fourth. So, now it was John Jay’s turn
to not back down. Galea found Ryan Brennan from behind the net,
and when the tall mid elder leapt for the pass, he came down to tie
the score with 9:06 remaining.

e acrobatics for John Jay weren’t over either. After Raefski
made the save on a furious scramble around the net, Luca Duva
got his stick up in front of the Panther goalie’s attempt to pass for-
ward and intercepted the ball. en in one motion, without looking,
Duva dumped the ball backwards into the Pleasantville goal and the
crowd was roaring a 7-6 John Jay lead.

With 6:26 remaining, the lead only lasted a minute when Chal-
lice found the top left corner of the net. e silence got even more
deadening when Duva clanged one o the post, and all told, Ko
had only one more amazing save in him.

He snared Emmet McDermott’s shot on the delayed penalty, but
John Jay still had 20 seconds to kill. Following the timeout, Ko had
no chance when Jack Collins took a perfect pass from behind the
net, and 7.9 seconds was not enough time for a reprieve.

e Wolves also lost a pair of 9-6 games at home to Byram Hills
and at Rye.

is week, John Jay was slated to face Tappan Zee, Somers, and
Mamaroneck.
