Vehar named to LaxPower's All-Midwest Region Team
Posted 7/02/2009 11:44:00 AM.
PHILADELPHIA- Defenseman Griffin Vehar has been named to LaxPower's 2009 Boys' Lacrosse All-Midwest Region Team.
2009 Boys' Lacrosse All-Midwest Region Team
Defense
Griffin Vehar, senior, Hudson Explorers, OH
Vehar has great size and was a physical presence on the back line for the Explorers. At 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds, Vehar loomed large, used his sheer size to deter foes, and often matched up on the opposition's top talent. He did score a goal and dish out a pair of assists, but scoring was not Vehar's focus. He was more intent on turning away the opposition and stopping them from scoring, and he did just that all four years of his career. The All-American also picked up 55 groundballs during 2009. Next year, he will play for the defending national champions, Syracuse.

Hudson falls in OT heartbreaker
Posted 6/03/2009 12:44:00 PM.
WORTHINGTON- With just over a minute left in the first overtime, a Kilbourne middie broke free to sink the game winning goal to end the Explorers magical season.
Hudson battled the #1 Wolves all night long with the score switching hands several times from the 2nd quarter on. It was a game that will have fans, players, and coaches talking for a long time.
Hudson jumped out to a 5-2 first quarter lead; however, clearing troubles and some offensive mishaps in the 2nd stalled the offensive progress. Hudson regrouped for 2 goals in the 3rd, and had the score tied going into the 4th quarter at 7.
The Navy and White had the Wolves exactly where they wanted them. After Kilbourne scored the go ahead goal with 4:56 remaining, Hudson matched it just over a minute later to tie at 8 with 3:21 remaining. Both teams had chances to end the game in regulation, but the goalies and defensive units came up with necessary stops.
In overtime, once again, both teams had chances to end the game and advance. However, it was Kilbourne who had the ball in their stick when it mattered and buried the final shot.
With all of the outstanding performances in the game, there are several highlights to mention:
- Andrew Hoelzel was fantastic in the cage with one save after another finishing with 16 on the night.
- Ryan Althausen was dominant taking all the face-off draws and winning 13 of 18 with 4 ground balls.
- Cooper Charlton surrendered an early goal, but then completely shut down his man the rest of the game.
- Cody Nash had his best game of the season by keeping his attackman pointless.
- Jake McHenry, playing with an injured ankle, scored 4 goals on 6 shots.
- Rob Lynott, slashed through the Kilbourne defense for 1 goal and 3 assists.
On behalf of the players and coaches, Coach Blue would like to thank all supporters this season. We look forward to celebrating the successes of the 2009 season on Sunday at our annual banquet at 12:00 pm.
