4, 4008 - BEARS HOST MOELLER SATURDAY
The Upper Arlington Golden Bears return to Marv Moorhead
Stadium Saturday night, hosting Archbishop Moeller at
7:30 pm, the second game of the season for both teams.
The JV Bears play at 5:30 pm.
Moeller is 1-0 after a 7-6 win over Thomas Worthington
to open the season. The Fighting Crusaders got the attention
of UA Head Coach Ted Wolford. "They return three
really good attackmen," Wolford said. "It should
be a very interesting game and a chance for us to get
pushed early in the season."
Senior Sean Finegan has been Moeller's most productive
attackman with 65 points last season. He was named first-team
All-Midwest and All-Ohio. He signed with Delaware last
spring. Fellow senior Alex Hofrichter commited to Stevens
Institute of Technology in Division III.
The Golden Bears beat Moeller twice last season en route
to their fourth straight Ohio High School Lacrosse Association
title. "They always have a number of good athletes
with a school that size and no doubt that will be the
case again," said the Golden Bear coach. "They
are solid, have an athletic goalie and played well against
Thomas."
Wolford said his team has tried to catch up on their preparation
after a short pre-season and trip to Western Pennsylvania
for four scrimmages. The Bears are also 1-0 after beating
Hilliard Darby at home March 26th. UA is ranked 15th nationally
and second in the Midwest in the STX-Inside Lacrosse poll.
Moeller is ranked 9th in the Midwest. Michigan's Brother
Rice is 3-0 and ranked first in the Midwest.
