Spring Break
Men's lax defeats Towson, Mount St. Mary's
Issue date: 4/30/09
The Jays took a quick 2-0 lead off of goals by Boland and Peck in the first six minutes, from nice passes by Christopher and sophomore Mark Goodrich, respectively. The Mount didn't quit, though. They tied the game up at two apiece over a six minute span, and at the end of the first quarter, the game was tied.
Mountaineer goalie T.C. DiBartolo played remarkably well, stuffing the Jays for the first 10 minutes of the second quarter. Mt. St. Mary's held a one-goal lead for a bit in the second quarter.
After letting that one get past him, Gvozden stuffed the Mountaineers for the rest of the quarter. Late in the quarter, the Jays scored two goals back-to-back in a 19 second span and never had to worry about trailing again. Wharton ended the 21 minute drought and Boland ripped a shot past DiBartolo just 19 seconds later. Heading into halftime, Hopkins held a 4-3 lead.
It was 7-5 at the end of the third. Less than two seconds in, Kimmel found Christopher alone and he fired in a shot from 12 yards out. The Mount responded with a goal of their own, but Wharton beat DiBartolo again and Christopher beat him again just two minutes later.
The Jays ended any hope of a fourth quarter comeback by scoring three goals in the first six minutes of the period. Wharton and Peck each added another, and Boland hit junior midfielder Max Chautin with a nice pass, who fired it home. Wharton added another one late, and freshman attackman Will McCance finished the scoring for the day, making the final score 12-5, bringing the Jays' record to 8-4.
The game would have been a complete rout if not for the impressive performance by Mt. St. Mary's goalie T.C. DiBartolo, who posted 15 saves before leaving the game with nine minutes to go.
The Jays look to continue this five game win streak in their final regular season game vs. Loyola. The game will be at Homewood Field on Saturday at 1 p.m. The following week, the NCAA lacrosse playoffs begin, for which the Jays will most certainly qualify with a winning record and quailty wins as well.

Very much to like me this kind of sports, but unfortunately in Ukraine he is not spent and do not train in it. It is all interestingly.

Lacrosse is a really fun sport to watch and it's one that is fairly unique to this county, and maybe a couple other countries. As the above commenter noted, they don't have lacrosse in Europe. (Continued…)
