GREENSBURG, Pa. - Junior Kyle Kallay's sixth goal of the game with 17 seconds remaining broke a 9-9 tie and lifted the sixth-ranked Mercyhurst College men's lacrosse team to a 10-9 victory over Seton Hill on Saturday afternoon in East Coast Conference action. 

Kallay sealed the Lakers' sixth win of the season (6-1, 4-1 ECC) and capped off a wild back-and-forth affair when he connected off a pass from sophomore Brian Scheetz.

Prior to the score, Kallay had a hand in another Laker comeback as he pulled them out of a 2-0 hole in the first quarter. The reigning ECC Player of the Week reeled off three straight spanning the first and second frames to make it a 3-2 advantage. He then sparked a two-goal spurt at the 5:42 mark after Seton Hill tied the game at three, with Scheetz following suit shortly after at 4:54. 

Dylan Lefebrve made it a one-goal deficit for SHU with the last tally of the first half at 2:57.

The second half saw the Lakers build off of the momentum of the first with freshman Jake McAndrew giving MC a two-goal cushion with 10:55 showing on the clock.

Despite the score, though, Seton Hill would catch fire with three straight to take a 7-6 edge. Kevin Cala netted back-to-back markers less than 30 seconds apart, and Matt Delmonico put the Griffins ahead at 4:39.

Mercyhurst snubbed out the streak with 2:50 to play, as senior Kevin Coholan took a Scheetz feed and buried it past Christopher Ilse to make it a 7-7 game.

Still tied at seven in the fourth, both traded tallies leading up to the late-game heroics. Senior Andy Winslow found the back of the net at 13:18 before Kallay netted his fifth of the afternoon sandwiched in between two Griffin tallies, the latter of which tied the game at nine with a little over three minutes to play.

Senior Zach Nash earned his sixth win of the season with five saves and nine goals allowed, while Ilse stopped 11 shots. Mercyhurst finished the game with a 31-28 advantage in shots.

Kallay led all scorers in the game with six goals, followed by Scheetz with a goal and three assists. Winslow, Coholan and McAndrew added a score each.

Mercyhurst returns to action on Saturday, Apr. 2 when it hosts Dowling in a 1 p.m. matchup at Tullio Field.
