Syracuse, N.Y. – Freshman midfielder Emmet McDermott (Pleasantville, N.Y./Pleasantville) tallied four points and sophomore goalkeeper Lucas Winger (Glenview, Ill./Glenbrook South) made 16 saves to lead the Le Moyne College men's lacrosse team to an 11-6 victory over Cleveland State University in Northeast Conference action on Saturday afternoon at Ted Grant Field.

The Dolphins tallied the first two goals of the game, separated by just 11 seconds. Following a turnover by Cleveland State on its first possession, graduate student attackman Zachary Delaney (Syracuse, N.Y./Onondaga/Hobart) fired in his 11th goal of the season from the left side of the crease at the 12:52 mark off a feed from McDermott. Off the ensuing faceoff, the ball was swatted around until it ended up in front of the Cleveland State goal, where redshirt sophomore attackman Thomas Berry (Tully, N.Y./Tully) scooped it up and dumped it into the net for his 10th goal of the campaign.

Creed McDonald got the Vikings on the scoreboard at the 8:08 mark with his fifth goal of the year.

Le Moyne tallied the final two goals of the quarter for a 4-1 advantage. Following Winger's second save of the game, Berry netted his second goal of the contest from the front of the crease with 5:44 left off a dish from graduate student midfielder Ethan Loun (West Linn, Ore./West Linn). Junior attackman Owen Wilson (Latham, N.Y./Shaker) made it a three-goal game with 2:06 remaining with his ninth tally of the season from the right edge of the crease off a pass across the crease from senior midfielder Olin Stanat (Rochester, N.Y./Brighton).

Amiri Austin pulled Cleveland State back within two just 48 seconds into the second quarter with his ninth goal of the year.

The Dolphins took their first five-goal lead of the game with the next three goals. McDermott started the run at the 12:14 mark with his fourth goal of the season with a rip from the left alley. Just 57 seconds later, junior midfielder Zack Crosby (Auburn, N.Y./Auburn) finished off a pass from junior midfielder Alec Constable (Penfield, N.Y./Penfield) for his sixth goal of the year. McDermott scored again with 9:13 left after faking a right-handed shot, cutting to the middle and bouncing in a left-handed shot.

McDonald picked up his second goal of the game 50 seconds later.

Delaney capped the scoring in the half with 4:04 remaining after taking a pass in the left alley from McDermott in an extra-man situation and blasting a shot into the back of the net for his team-best 12th goal of the year.

The teams alternated goals in the third quarter. Alex Van Voorhis started the scoring with his fifth goal of the year at the 12:27 mark off a feed in an extra-man situation from Xander Johnson. Crosby pushed the margin back to five with 11:01 left with a dodge down the left alley. Just over four minutes later, Jacob Lubrant scored his seventh goal of the year for the Vikings. Loun continued the see-saw with 3:55 remaining with a dive to the top from the right edge of the crease for his eighth tally of the campaign. Senior midfielder Ryan Eisenmann (Boca Raton, Fla./Boca Raton) capped the team's scoring with his 10th goal of the year with 31 seconds left in the third.

Following almost 13 minutes of scoreless action to start the fourth quarter, the Vikings took advantage of an offside penalty on the Dolphins to score the final goal of the game as Lubrant finished off a feed from Van Voorhis.

Winger improved to 2-1 between the pipes after registering eight of his 16 saves in the final quarter. Justin Dalum made six saves in the loss for the Vikings.
