Box Score

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. - Four different players found the back of the net as the second-ranked Mercyhurst College men's lacrosse team defeated Molloy, 6-4, in a low-scoring East Coast Conference matchup Friday evening. With the victory, the Lakers move to 3-0 on the season, 1-0 in ECC play. The Lions, meanwhile, fall to 1-3 overall, 0-1 in league action.

Sophomore Brian Scheetz and junior Kyle Kallay scored two goals apiece, while senior Cameron McLean and sophomore James Chayka added single tallies.

Mercyhurst never trailed in the game but needed a late surge to turn aside the Lions in the second half and stay undefeated on the season.

Tied at three after Molloy opened the third quarter with a score less than five minutes in, the Lakers broke the deadlock and started to take over by scoring back-to-back goals before Scheetz delivered the knockout punch, scoring unassisted with eight minutes to play in the fourth. Molloy closed out the game with a goal just over a minute later.

Mercyhurst maintained possession and controlled the pace of the game with a 40-22 advantage in shots and a 24-23 lead in ground balls. Senior Zach Nash recorded eight saves to earn the win and move to 3-0 on the season.

The Lakers continue their east coast trip Sunday, Mar. 13 with an ECC contest at Chestnut Hill.
