10/13: Laingsburg/Bath falls to Ithaca 3-1

On Tuesday night Laingsburg travelled to Ithaca to face the Yellowjackets in a rematch of the first game of the season.  In the first game Ithaca scored with 3 seconds left to beat the Pack 2-1.  In that game Jordan Most added the late goal off a give and go with Tyler Gross on the South end of the field.  This game started where that one left off.  Most used his teammate, Gross, again in a play that was eerily similar to the one that gave the Yellowjackets a win in their first meeting.  Most passed to Gross at the 18 and when 2 defenders played the ball Gross made them pay by leading a pass back to Most who was wide open at the six.  Pete Dibert made 7 saves for the Wolfpack and Chris Anderson made 8 saves for the Yellowjackets to keep the game at 1-0 deadlock until 10 minutes left to play.  Jordan Most returned the favor by passing the ball to Tyler Gross, who put a shot right on Pete Dibert's chest.  Dibert seemed to bobble the ball and then knocked it in to his own net.  The Wolfpack cut into the lead when Andy Kubsch scored on a free kick with 7 minutes left to play. But Ithaca iced it when moments later a low shot by Zach Whipple seemed to catch Dibert by surprise and find its way to the back post.  Laingsburg fell to 4-9-3.
