MERCER ISLAND, Wash. -- Daniel Shields scored the go-ahead goal at 9:55 of the fourth quarter to lift Mercer Island to sole possession of first place in Division I with a 6 – 4 boys lacrosse win over Issaquah, Friday evening at Islander Stadium on Mercer Island.

With the win over the defending state champions, the Islanders preserved their undefeated league record, advancing to 8-0-0 in league play and 10-4-0 overall. Issaquah dropped to second at 7-1-0 in league play and 9-2-0 overall.

The winning goal came at 9:51 of the final quarter, as Shields worked his way from behind the Issaquah cage and wrapped a quick shot past Eagles goaltender Cameron Danforth for his third score of the night.

“We knew that Issaquah was coming hard. They’re patient and have great ball movement. If you look away, they’re gone – straight behind you,” said Shields, whose fourth goal at 6:25 of the fourth secured the win for the Islanders. The goal gave him 26 on the season, just two behind the league leader, Sam Snow of Bainbridge Island. “This feels great. We needed this game,” he said.

Shields got scoring underway just 47 seconds into the game after the Islanders won the opening draw and immediately marched into the Issaquah zone. Working from behind the net, Shields curled around the front of the cage firing the game’s first shot past Danforth.

Just 67 seconds later, Issaquah’s Jordan Goldstein connected on the first of a three-goal Issaquah run to knot the game at one goal apiece.

Jake Director and Todd Jones then added goals to put the Eagles up 3 – 1 before Shields connected a second time with just 34 seconds left in the quarter to bring the Islanders within one.

In the second, the Islanders’ physical play and defense shut down Issaquah’s scoring threat. Despite several well executed possessions with crisp passing around the Islanders cage, the Eagles failed to put a shot past Islander goaltender Hap Giraud. The defensive effort set the stage for MI’s lone goal in the quarter. With 47 seconds remaining, Islander midfielder Steven Caditz converted on a Steven Taylor pass to even the game at three going into the intermission.

“MI did a great job defensively,” said Goldstein who scored two of for Eagles goals in the game. “If you hold a good team like Mercer Island to six goals you need to produce offensively. We just didn’t finish well tonight.”

In the third, with the Eagles playing one man up after MI’s Travis Leung was flagged for a penalty, Goldstein again found the net at 6:34 to put Eagles in the lead 4 – 3 and seemingly in control of their own destiny.

However, Issaquah couldn’t hold the lead as Caditz netted the Islanders’ fourth and tying goal at 5:41, setting the stage for the Islanders in the fourth.

MERCER ISLAND, Wash. – Mercer Island’s Dan Shields scored the game-winning goal just 33 seconds into the second overtime to boost the Islanders to a 7 – 6 Boys Division I high school lacrosse upset win over undefeated Bainbridge Island, Saturday before an estimated crowd of 1,500 at Islander Stadium on Mercer Island.

Shields, who led all scorers with four goals, emerged as the game’s undisputed hero, netting the fourth quarter’s only goal at 7:35 left in regulation to send the game into overtime.

After playing to a dead-heat in the first sudden death period, Shields took a pass at 3:27 of the second overtime from his brother Matt, who had just picked up his own rebound after hitting the post. His shot beat Spartan goaltender Bryce Stevenson on the off-stick side for the game winner. The goal unleashed the near capacity crowd onto the field in celebration.

“I saw the ball bounce off the post. When I got the ball, the goalie was out of step so I threw it,” said Shields, a second-team All-State selection in 2008 who entered the game as the Division I points leader with 16 goals and 16 assists. “I’ve never had a game winner like that – nothing this big. This will give us a real confident run for the rest of the season.”

Both teams entered the game undefeated in league play, only Mercer Island had non-league losses – all dealt on a four-game spring break road swing through New York. The win advanced the Islanders to 6-0-0 in league play, 8-4-0 overall, for a share of first place with Issaquah in Division I play. The win was the first for the Islanders in three years over Bainbridge.

In the first quarter, the Bainbridge struck first on a goal by Sam Snow at 9:11. The Spartans went on to score three unanswered goals over the next 1 minute, 56 seconds before Shields finally put the Islander on the board with just 1:09 left in the quarter.

In the second, Bainbridge again connected first on a solo-shot by Jordan Wagner. The score was followed by MI goals by Jon Wettack and Shields, but still sent the Islanders into the intermission down 3 – 5.

In the third, Mercer Island fought back to tie the game on goals by Wettack at 3:36 and then Steve Caditz with just 15 seconds remaining. But with just one second to go, Kevin Nguyen beat Islander goaltender Hap Giraud to put the Spartans back up by one.

The fourth remained scoreless until the 7:35 mark when Shields drove from outside of the crease to fire a shot over the right shoulder of Stevenson to knot the game at six goals apiece.

“This is the first opportunity to prove ourselves in the state,” said Mercer Island senior Conner Beckwith who had six ground balls for the Islanders. “It’s been two years since we’ve won this game.”

Islander goaltender Hap Giraud had 15 saves in the win. Bainbridge’s Stevenson had 11 saves in the loss.

The Bainbridge, Mercer Island rivalry dates back 17 years and is one of the most heated lacrosse contests in the state. Since 2001, both teams have faced each other in the state championship five times and at least one of the schools has been involved in the state title game each of the past 18 years.

Scoring
Bainbridge 4 1 1 0 0 0 -- 6
Mercer Island 1 2 2 1 0 1 -- 7

Highlights: Dan Shields, MI, 4 goals, 1 assist; Conner Beckwith, MI, 6 ground balls; Hap Giraud, MI, 15 saves; Kevin Nyguen, B, 2 goals, Dugan McDermott, B, 5 ground balls; Bryce Stevenson, B, 11 saves.

At 19:44 Nathan Hale came charging back as Lara Sidhu took an Emm Ciechanowsai pass to put the Raiders on the board. The goal was the first of four unanswered scores for Hale over the next four minutes as the Raiders took a 4 – 2 lead.
