Men's Lacrosse Falls In Regular Season Finale at Aquinas

GRAND RAPIDS – The Madonna University men's lacrosse team closed the regular season with a 13-7 loss on the road at Aquinas College on Wednesday night. 

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Madonna jumped out to a 2-0 lead early in the first quarter thanks to back-to-back goals by Vince Floro. The host Saints came back with two goals in 28 seconds to tie things up. Kyle Gudme answered with a goal of his own to put the Crusaders ahead 3-2, before the Saints themselves answered with back-to-back goals. Nick Conrad scored the final goal of the period however, and the score was 4-4 after one. 

The Crusader offense struggled in the second, as the Saints shut them out and scored three goals in the period to take a 7-4 halftime lead. Aquinas shut Madonna out again in the third quarter and extended their lead to 11-4 heading into the final period.

Madonna tried to get back in the game in the fourth, out-scoring the Saints 3-2 in the final quarter, but it wasn't enough as they fell to 8-7 overall and 4-4 in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
 
  • Gudme and Floro each recorded three goals.
  • Zachary Lane added three assists to his season total.
  • Jeff Varner made 18 saves between the pipes. 
  • Teddy Mazaris caused three turnovers and picked up four ground balls.
