‘Cats Sweep State of Kentucky, Improve to 4-0

March 1st, 2010 | Written by: Kevin Bissmeyer | Posted in recaps |

The Cincinnati Bearcats had a long weekend of  lacrosse as they hosted the Louisville Cardinals on Saturday, and then travelled to Western Kentucky to battle the Hill toppers and the EKU Colonels on Sunday. The Bearcats had a little luck on their side as they managed to squeak by Louisville with an 8-7 win in a very disappointing effort by Cincinnati. UC looked much more like themselves as they took the field on Sunday and rattled off wins of 18-1 and 10-0 against WKU and EKU.

While veteran keeper Kyle O’Neal posted his first shutout of the season, as well as his second game allowing only one goal, the weekend’s star player was scoring goals, not defending them.  Junior attackman Tony Piloto has been playing in place of injured Jason Keck, and has been piling up the goals as a consequence. In three games this weekend Piloto found the net nine times including seven goals against Western Kentucky. Other solid performances were delivered by freshman midfielder Joe Werner who registered six goals over the weekend, and junior midfielder Zach Fehr who scored five. The Bearcats had a great all around effort this weekend as every player contributed in each game and helped push Cincinnati’s overall record to 4-0 this season.

The Bearcats next games will take place on March 7th at Denison University as Cincinnati will face off against both Denison and Ohio State.

The Cincinnati Bearcats have been biding their time, practicing, conditioning, and preparing for their next game, but Mother Nature has not been cooperating. The last three games on the schedule for Cincinnati were all cancelled due to unplayable field conditions, and even the early season trip to Chicago had to be aborted because of a winter snow emergency. However, after three weeks without playing a game and barely being able to practice, the Bearcats are finally preparing to play again.

Cincinnati will host the University of Louisville and Denison at Nippert Stadium on Saturday February 27th. The first game will be at 1pm against Denison and the Bearcats will play again at 5PM against Louisville. The team schedule has been updated and is close to finalization, please keep checking as we are expecting to add another game or two in late March.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see  a quality doubleheader as UC looks to improve their record to 3-0 this weekend.

The Cincinnati Bearcats Lacrosse Team opened their 2009/10 season with a 16-1 win against The Eastern Kentucky University Colonels at Nippert Stadium. This opening day win for Cincinnati marks the fifth consecutive season the Bearcats have started their year off with a win. Saturdays game was played on about three inches of snow which made for an extremely interesting game of lacrosse, to say the least.

The Bearcats came out somewhat sloppy to start the game and held a 4-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. The second quarter saw Cincinnati step it up as they extended their lead to 9-1 by the time the whistle blew at half. After warming up in the locker room the Bearcats stayed hot and racked up seven more goals while holding EKU scoreless for the rest of the game.

With this win the Bearcats will turn their attention  to Xavier and Purdue who they will be hosting at Nippert Stadium on Valentines Day. Come support the Bearcats as they look to improve their record to 3-0 next weekend!
