Arizona 12, Lindenwood 9 FINAL (3/26/06)

[John Paul]

Arizona on the board first. 1-0. I'll update as I can.

[John Paul]

Luna for Arizona. Nice inside roll, but waved off for landing in the crease. Still 1-0. 9:11 to go.

Lindenwood is having a lot of trouble clearing.

[Dan Wishengrad]

Thanks, JP.

I'd say this is a HUGE game as it turns out. A convincing win by LU would offset the loss to UM and keep them from dropping much in the rankings.
But a win by UA would move 'Zona back up while dropping L'Wood significantly.

[John Paul]

Etheredge for AZ. Righty sweep. 2-0 4:54 in the 1st.

[John Paul]

2-1. 13 for Lindenwood. Drove inside from the top on the AZ zone and got back to his left. 1:00 to go in 1st.

Quarter over. 2-1 Arizona.

[John Paul]

2-2. Nix from Combs. EMO goal for LU. 12:12 in the 2nd.

[John Paul]

Etheredge again for AZ. Transition goal, low to high from 12 or so. 3-2 AZ with 10:20 to go in 2nd.

[John Paul]

AZ scores on EMO. 4-2 with 9:10 to go in 2nd.

[John Paul]

Crawford get's his second on a sweep. 5-2 Arizona. 8:18 to go in 2nd. Time out LU.

[John Paul]

Arizona 2 men up, but Lindenwood backs up the goal on a shot, then turns it over on the clear. AZ gets some good shots, but can't score. LU kills it.

[John Paul]

25 for AZ. 6-2. 2:55 in 2nd.

Hey JP - Does it look like LU plays to the level of their competition, whether good or bad? Playing close to BC and UM this weekend, in edition to being close to U of Illinios?

Arizona 6
Lindenwood 2
Halftime

Arizona is dominating possession. Must be outshooting LU about 30 - 6.

[lil lady lax fan]

Arizona certainly has it in their heads how important this game is. It'll be interesting to see if they keep it up in the second half, or if Lindenwood will turn on the afterburners and take the lead.

Thanks JP for the updates.

[John Paul]

Teams trade goals in 1st minute of 3rd. LU first, but AZ answers right back. 7-3 now.
