Men's Lax Rallies Over Knights

ASTON, Pa. - Shenandoah University earned its first Colonial States Athletic Conference men's lacrosse victory of the season Saturday afternoon with an 11-10 win at Neumann College.

Shenandoah (4-2, 1-1 CSAC) avoided a repeat of last week's game with the win over the Knights (0-8, 0-1).

In last week's contest against Gwynedd-Mercy, SU went into the fourth quarter leading by a goal only to see GMC pull out the one-goal win by scoring all three of the goals in the final stanza.

This Saturday, Shenandoah trailed Neumann by a goal as the fourth quarter dawned, but earned the win by scoring twice and holding NU off the board.

Senior James Gonzalez, who had a goal and three assists, scored the game-winner when he converted a Mac Hedrick feed with 2:04 remaining.

Gonzalez' tally finished off a contest in which the Hornets held a 6-1 lead midway through the second quarter but found themselves trailing 10-9 by the 1:05 mark of the third.

Neumann got itself back into it by sandwiching a 5-1 run around halftime, and following a pair of Steve Mayor goals that put the Hornets up 9-6 at 8:59 of third, reeled off four straight to take that 10-9 advantage.

Hedrick paced the offense with four goals and two assists for six points while Gonzalez had four points and Mayor three goals.

Rodney Mattison had 14 saves to earn his fourth victory of the spring.
