LANCERS FINISH REGULAR SEASON UNDEFEATED 20 - 0 !!
From Longmeadowlax.com :
LONGMEADOW 10 / WESTFIELD 5 5/23/13
Tonight the boys showed up to play. Defensively they played great, playing the body, communicating and being aggressive. It was nice to see them finishing their slides. Offensively the passing game was crisp which led to many excellent looks and shots. The Lancers played their up-tempo game style which suits them well. Johnny Falcone played a nice physical game when he had his opportunities and of course Drew Kelleher’s success at face-offs was huge.
Goals: Kevin Barry (3), Keegan Dudeck (3), Will Lukas (2), Myles Smith (1), Matt DeMarche (1).
Asst: Zach Lukas (3), Keegan Dudeck (1), Drew Kelleher (1), Matt DeMarche (1), Max Chipouras (1).
Saves: Matt Draymore (12), Noah Gurzenski (3).

Two At Home This Week...
LONGMEADOW 17 / MINNECHAUG 7 5/18/13
Longmeadow continues to roll. Heading down the home stretch the Lancers continue winning games handily. What has changed over the past couple of weeks? The Lancers now come out strong and continue throughout the game. This game was over at halftime with the Lancers up 10-2. Wilbraham had no answer for the Lancers offensive today, whether from the midfielders or attackmen, shots were plentiful. Back from his thumb injury, Noah Gruzenski played well at goal, making some nice saves. Lancers improve their record to 18-0 with South Hadley coming to town on Tuesday.
Goals: Zach Lukas (5), Drew Kelleher (4), Kevin Barry (4), Matt DeMarche (1), Eric Barsalou (1), Keegan Dudeck (1), Josh Goldberg (1).
Assists: Will Lukas (4), Drew Kelleher (2), Kevin Barry (1), Zach Lukas (1), Eric Barsalou (1), Max Stukalin (1).
Saves: Matt Draymore (6), Noah Gruzenski (3).

Bostonlax.com Defensemen Rankings
Mid-Season Defensemen Rankings
05/14/2013, 10:00am EDT
By Bishop
1st Team
Nick Brozowski, Concord-Carlisle - Possesses incredible hand-eye coordination, which allows him to be a force on ground balls and creating turnovers.
Chris Calnan, Nobles - By a slim margin, the best Nobles defenseman in my eyes. Exceptional athlete who loves hitting people.
Pat Healy, St. Sebastian's - Another physically developed pole with a little mean streak on the field, Healy led Seb's to their upset of Governor's this past weekend.
Reid Leveillee, Longmeadow - The only returning defenseman for the Lancers, Leveillee has not only dominated individually but helped bring along a young defensive corps for the state's only undefeated team.
Eli Morrissey, Governor's - Has consistently dominated at LSM, as well as being a great face-off guy.
John Sexton, Lincoln-Sudbury - Although he hasn't been as omnipresent as last year, Sexton can still be found everywhere on the field at times for the Warriors, playing close, running a wing, taking the occasional faceoff, and even appearing on man-up again against Duxbury.

Valley Wheel rankings, a look ahead, Longmeadow-South Hadley game notes
04/30/2013, 9:45pm EDT
By Jake Nelson
..."Longmeadow is soaring and looks like one of the top teams in the state. Their last two wins come in impressive fashion with a lopsided 13-3 result against state power Algonquin and a convincing 10-4 verdict over Jake Cupak and the Westfield Bombers on Monday afternoon. Zach Lukas and Keegan Dudeck lead the Lancer's balanced offensive attack with 25 points apiece and Reid Leveillee continues to show why he is an elite defender. The Lancers haven't been truly tested since a 12-11 overtime win against Pinkerton Academy (NH) on April 13th. Tomorrow evening's contest against South Hadley will have a lot to say about the remainder of the regular season for Longmeadow. Games against Medfield, St. Johns Shrewsbury, and a rematch with a presumably healthy Amherst-Pelham squad still remain."...
Attack/D-
"Balance is the key with this squad. Kevin Barry leads the attack and is very good around the cage, often using his size to come from x. Nothing the Lancers do offensively, from an individual standpoint, is insanely impressive. That's not a knock on their ability, its a testament to their coaching and their ability to understand and run a system. It's methodical and insanely hard to defend. Reid Leveillee has been nothing short of outstanding in his junior campaign and Jack Ryan has been a nice compliment. Matt Draymore mans the cage for the Lancers and hasn't been wildly impressive, however, he hasn't had to do a whole lot with a very, very impressive defense in front of him."

LANCERS GO 11-0 WITH WIN OVER SOUTH HADLEY !!
Longmeadow defense dominant as Lancers take control of Valley Wheel

http://www.bostonlax.net/news_article/show/252216?referrer_id=482094
"Longmeadow has been led by their defense all season and Wednesday was certainly no exception. Reid Leveillee and Jack Reid continue to spearhead what is rapidly become a very, very intimidating unit to face. After todays game they are givinig up 4.3 goals per game. Yes, you did read that stat correctly. Leveillee has been nothing short of dominant and has an impressively complete skill set for a kid his age. All around, the Lancer defense has shown a high intellect, coupled with good size, athletecism, and the ability to clear the ball very effectively. Matt Draymore made 8 stops in the game and looked good throughout."
