MEN’S LACROSSE FALLS AT DEFENDING NEC CHAMPION ROBERT MORRIS

Moon Township, Pa. – Dylan Anderson registered five points to lead Robert Morris University to a 19-4 win over the Le Moyne College men's lacrosse team in NEC action on Saturday afternoon at Joe Walton Stadium.

The Colonials scored twice in the opening two and one-half minutes. Owen Tapper netted his second goal of the season just 15 seconds into the game off a feed from Liam Blakely. Joel McCormick followed just over two minutes later with his 10th tally of the year.

Senior attackman Thomas Berry (Tully, N.Y./Tully) got the Dolphins on the scoreboard with his 18th goal of the season with 12:02 remaining after taking a pass from sophomore midfielder Macklin Gobiel (Andover, Mass./Andover).

Robert Morris countered with the final four goals of the opening quarter. Anderson started the run just 20 seconds after Berry scored by finishing off a feed from Callum Witter. He scored his 20th goal of the season with 8:07 remaining off a pass from Nathan Ruff. Tommy Linehan recorded his third goal of the year with 4:00 left following a dish from Calum Brennan. Koerner Marechek completed the quarter's scoring with his sixth goal with 3:09 remaining.

The Colonials rattled off seven straight goals over the first nine minutes to start the second quarter. McCormick scored the first goal at the 14:05 mark. Brennan followed with 10:20 left before Luke Prezioso (9:51) and Dylan Anderson (9:41) assisted on each other's goals in a span of 10 seconds. Ryan Stiefel netted his fifth of the season 90 seconds later. Brennan then scored his 20th and 21st goals of the year 89 seconds apart, the second of which was assisted by Nathan Ruff, for a 13-1 lead with 6:02 remaining in the half.

Berry snapped the run with 4:41 left by finishing off a pass from sophomore midfielder Emmet McDermott (Pleasantville, N.Y./Pleasantville) in an extra-man situation, his fourth man-up tally of the campaign.

Evan DiBlasi wrapped up the scoring in the half with his first goal of the season with 1:55 to go.

Robert Morris extended its lead to 15 with the first three goals of the third quarter. Anderson scored 49 seconds into the half off a pass from Brennan. Prezioso followed two minutes later off a dish from Ben Eck, who then tallied his ninth goal of the year with 8:26 remaining.

The Dolphins scored twice in a span of two minutes. Senior attackman Owen Wilson (Latham, N.Y./Shaker) scored his 13th of the season with 7:37 left and then Berry scored again off a pass from McDermott with 5:39 to go.

Robert Morris scored the only two goals of the fourth quarter. Eck scored his 10th goal of the season with 6:02 remaining and Tommy Mullikin tallied his first with 4:01 left.

Junior goalkeeper Lucas Winger (Glenview, Ill./Glenbrook South) suffered the loss between the pipes after making four saves (against 11 goals) over 21:49. He had his streak of consecutive games with double-digit saves snapped at 21 games. Nate Fechter turned away 11 shots (against four goals) to earn the win for the Colonials.
