WARRIOR MEN’S LACROSSE EXORCISES DEVILS

WILLIAMSPORT, PA – The Lycoming College men’s lacrosse team hosted conference rival FDU-Madison, Saturday afternoon, in their home opener.

The win improves Lycoming’s record to 2-1 overall and 1-0 within the Middle Atlantic Conference. FDU falls to 2-2 overall and 0-1 in the conference.

The Devils scored the first goal of the game when Steven Saltini found the back of the net just 50 seconds into the contest. The Warriors, however, responded with three unanswered goals to carry a 3-1 lead into the second quarter. The two teams then traded goals throughout the second period to head into the half with Lycoming leading 7-5.

The Warriors took control of the game in the third period, possessing the ball nearly the entire quarter and outscoring the Devils 3-1. Lycoming got the first two goals of the fourth quarter, as well, to extend their advantage to 12-6 with 9:33 to play. FDU attempted a come back by scoring four unanswered goals, but ultimately ran out of time.
