In a game between two programs striving to join DeMatha and St. Mary's Ryken among the league's elite, the difference-making play came about abruptly.
"Shane had been shut off the entire game," Gonzaga Coach Casey O'Neill said, "and the one time he gets the ball, it's out of a scrum and he wins the game."
Eagles goalie Conor Baucum, a junior, also had a big night. He had 25 saves for Gonzaga (9-2 overall, 2-1 WCAC). Tenth-ranked Good Counsel dropped to 9-3, 2-1.
Good Week for Wootton
Senior Harry Shay and sophomore Jeff Zifrony scored three goals apiece as Wootton concluded a big week with a 12-8 win at Bethesda-Chevy Chase.
The win gave the Patriots (5-1, 3-0) three victories in the past five days against Montgomery 4A/3A West Division opponents.
They also defeated Churchill on the road Monday and Walter Johnson at home Wednesday.
"It's huge because they're all division games," Wootton Coach Colin Thomson said. "We're not finished with division games yet and we're still a ways off, but it's a good beginning of the season for us."
The Patriots gained a 6-4 advantage at halftime and pulled away in the third quarter.
The Barons fell to 4-2 overall, 1-1 in the league.
