WILLIAMSPORT , Pa. --- Lycoming men’s lacrosse dropped its second straight game on Sunday afternoon, falling to Drew University 12-4 in rain-soaked conditions in New Jersey.  The Warriors, now 4-7 overall and 4-4 in Middle Atlantic Conference play, still cling to the final qualifying spot in the upcoming MAC playoffs.  Drew improves to 6-6, 5-3 overall, a full game ahead of Lycoming in the standings.

The Warriors were held to one goal in each of the four quarters while Drew picked up four apiece in each of the first three frames.  Junior Tom Nairn (Fairport, N.Y./Fairport) opened the scoring just 49 seconds in to the contest to give Lycoming an early 1-0 edge, but Drew responded with seven unanswered goals spanning into the second quarter to move to a 7-1 advantage with 5:49 to play in the first half.

Sophomore Justin Dixon (Baltimore, Md./North County) stopped the bleeding with 1:40 on the clock, but the Rangers added one more with 17 ticks on the clock to go into the half up 8-2.

Drew came out gunning in the second half, running out for four more scores to move to a 12-2 lead.  Sophomore Jim Cusick (Aston, Pa./Sun Valley) closed third-quarter scoring with under two minutes to play.  He notched a second goal at the 9:47 mark in the final frame to close the game’s scoring.
