Glenbrook South used a 4-1 run in the second half to 
come-from-behind to beat Lyons 7-6 on Thursday night in the second state 
quarterfinal game. Chris DeLetto scored 4 goals and Brandon Stenger added 2 
scores to lead the Titans to the victory. 
  
Lyons looked sharp early on, as freshman Dave Sekula 
found the net from the right post after drawing an ejection and taking a pass 
from Patrick Weigand midway through the opening period. Peter Bruton gave the 
Lions a 2-0 advantage on their next possession, as he drilled a shot from 
outside 5-meters. DeLetto responded for GBS with a goal from 7-meters, but Lyons 
answered back at the end of the first quarter as Weigand floated a shot over GBS' 
goalie Ben May to give Lyons a 3-1 lead heading into the second period. 
  
Stenger assisted DeLetto on a backhand goal from 
2-meters midway through the second quarter to close the gap to 3-2, but Lyons' 
Patrick Donovan scored on a lob shot from the left post to give LT a 4-2 
halftime lead. 
  
DeLetto came out of the halftime break on fire, as 
he scored on a skip shot from 5-meters just two minutes into the third period. 
Moments later, he tied the score after drawing a foul and hitting a shot from 
7-meters out. Lyons had a chance to reclaim the lead, but May made a save on 
Donovan's lob attempt before GBS took a timeout. Stenger scored quickly after 
the timeout to give the Titans their first lead at the 2:27 mark of the third 
quarter. Lyons responded as goalie Spencer Ellison came out of the net to make a 
steal, then Donovan turned his defender and lobbed a shot in from the left post 
to tie the game at 5-5 in the final minute of the third quarter. GBS kept the 
pressure on, as Andrew Grieve flipped a shot in from just inside 5-meters with 
only five seconds left in the period to give the Titans a 6-5 lead heading into 
the final quarter. 
  
The turning point of the game came early in the 
final period. Bruton drew a penalty shot with 4:32 left in regulation, but Tim 
Cosentino's shot hit the post and May recovered the loose ball to keep the 
Titans ahead by a goal. On GBS' next possession, Alex Scott drew an ejection 
and, after a timeout, Stenger connected on his second goal of the game from the 
left side to make the score 7-5 in favor of the Titans. Ellison kept Lyons 
within striking distance with a save on Hengels 5-meter shot, and the Lions' 
offense responded on the other end as Weigand drove to 2-meters and lobbed a 
shot over May to cut the lead to 7-6. Donovan drew an ejection on Lyons' next 
possession, but Tommy Nimrod came up with a field block to keep GBS ahead by a 
goal. Cosentino would have two more chances to score from just outside 5-meters 
in the last two minutes, but May came up with two critical saves and the Titans 
were able to run out the clock and hold on to a 7-6 win over Lyons. 
  
Donovan and Weigand each scored 2 goals in the loss 
for LT, while Ellison recorded 16 saves for the Lions.
