LYCOMING MEN’S LACROSSE FALLS TO ELMIRA

WILLIAMSPORT, PA – The Lycoming College men’s lacrosse team hosted Elmira College for a non-conference contest, Saturday afternoon. The Warriors fell behind early and despite numerous comeback attempts, never fully recovered falling 16-9 to the Soaring Eagles. Lycoming is now 4-3 overall. Elmira improves to 1-4.

The Soaring Eagles opened the game with four unanswered goals to set the tone for the day early. The Warriors responded with three goals of their own to move within one. But after both teams traded goals, Elmira added seven consecutive tallies in the second and third quarters to pull away from Lycoming. The Warriors recorded the last three goals of the game but it was far too little.

Dan Wilcox (So./Corning, NY; Corning-Painted Post East) led Lycoming with three goals and an assist. Sang Duong (So./Havertown, PA; Haverford) also had four points on two goals and two assists. Freshman Dave Kirschner (Newtown Square, PA; Marple Newtown) add one score and a pair of assists, while senior Buddy Temple (Webster, NY; Webster) kicked in one goal and one assist.

Sean Powers (So./Drexel Hill, PA; Monsignor) and Christian Willaum (So./New Milford, CT; New Milford) split time in goal for the Warriors, combining for 14 saves.

Lycoming will return to conference competition on Wednesday when they travel to DeSales University.
