Air Force Knocks Off Bellarmine, 13-9, in ECAC Opener
USAFA, Colo. ? Senior Mike Crampton (Kinnelon, N.J.) and sophomore Christopher Allen (Hillsborough, N.J.) both scored hat tricks to lead the Air Force lacrosse team to a 13-9 victory over Bellarmine in its ECAC Lacrosse League opener Saturday afternoon at Falcon Stadium.
With the win, the Falcons move to 3-3 overall on the season and 1-0 in the ECAC, while the Knights, receiving votes in the latest coaches' and media polls, fall to 4-1 on the year and 0-1 in the league.
Air Force got on the scoreboard a minute into the contest with a goal from senior Kyle Cassady (Upper Arlington, Ohio) on an assist from classmate Erik Smith (Golden, Colo.). Bellarmine tied the game a minute and a half later, while Crampton's first score of the game put the Falcons back on top with 10:19 left in the first period. The Knights scored off the ensuing face-off to tie the contest once more, while taking their only lead of the game at the 8:28 mark. Crampton's second goal of the contest came with under two minutes remaining in the opening quarter, as the two teams went into the second period tied at 3-3.
The Falcons got out to a hot start in the second stanza, registering three straight scores, including a man-up goal from Allen. Bellarmine finally put an end to Air Force's scoring spurt with a goal midway through the period, but the Falcons closed out the quarter with scores from Cassady and Keith Dreyer (Jr., Malvern, Pa.) to take an 8-4 advantage at the half.
With starting Air Force goalkeeper Doug Gouchoe (Concord, Mass.) on the bench to start the third period, the Knights came roaring back, tallying three unanswered scores, capped by a man-up goal at the 6:25 mark, to cut the margin to a single goal. Gouchoe returned to the game to anchor the Falcons' defense, while Air Force was able to get back on the scoreboard with back-to-back goals from Allen. After a Bellarmine score with just under three minutes remaining in the period brought the Knights back within one, senior Tommy McKee (Holt, Mich.) buried his only goal of the game with 1:06 on the clock, extending his nation-leading goal-scoring streak to 27 straight games.
The Falcons pushed their lead back to four early in the fourth quarter, as senior Bryan Price (Denver, Colo.) tallied his first goal of the season after winning the opening face-off of the period. Bellarmine responded with another score two and a half minutes later, while freshman Austin Smith (Golden, Colo.) notched his lone goal with 8:40 remaining. The final five minutes was riddled with penalties for both teams, but neither team was able to get back on the scoreboard, as Air Force held on for the 13-9 victory.
Air Force controlled the offensive pace of the game, nearly doubling up the Knights on shots taken (50-28). The Falcons also had a 33-25 edge on ground balls and won 16-of-25 face-offs for the game. Leading the way at the X was Price, who won 11-of-17 draws and grabbed a season-high eight ground balls.
In addition to Crampton's three goals, he also pitched in two assists for the Falcons, while McKee tallied a goal and a career-high three assists to help lead Air Force's offense.
The Falcons return to action next Saturday, March 15, when they visit Jacksonville in a non-conference match-up.

Air Force Knocks Off Bellarmine, 13-9, in ECAC Opener
USAFA, Colo. ? Senior Mike Crampton (Kinnelon, N.J.) and sophomore Christopher Allen (Hillsborough, N.J.) both scored hat tricks to lead the Air Force lacrosse team to a 13-9 victory over Bellarmine in its ECAC Lacrosse League opener Saturday afternoon at Falcon Stadium.
With the win, the Falcons move to 3-3 overall on the season and 1-0 in the ECAC, while the Knights, receiving votes in the latest coaches' and media polls, fall to 4-1 on the year and 0-1 in the league.
Air Force got on the scoreboard a minute into the contest with a goal from senior Kyle Cassady (Upper Arlington, Ohio) on an assist from classmate Erik Smith (Golden, Colo.). Bellarmine tied the game a minute and a half later, while Crampton's first score of the game put the Falcons back on top with 10:19 left in the first period. The Knights scored off the ensuing face-off to tie the contest once more, while taking their only lead of the game at the 8:28 mark. Crampton's second goal of the contest came with under two minutes remaining in the opening quarter, as the two teams went into the second period tied at 3-3.
The Falcons got out to a hot start in the second stanza, registering three straight scores, including a man-up goal from Allen. Bellarmine finally put an end to Air Force's scoring spurt with a goal midway through the period, but the Falcons closed out the quarter with scores from Cassady and Keith Dreyer (Jr., Malvern, Pa.) to take an 8-4 advantage at the half.
With starting Air Force goalkeeper Doug Gouchoe (Concord, Mass.) on the bench to start the third period, the Knights came roaring back, tallying three unanswered scores, capped by a man-up goal at the 6:25 mark, to cut the margin to a single goal. Gouchoe returned to the game to anchor the Falcons' defense, while Air Force was able to get back on the scoreboard with back-to-back goals from Allen. After a Bellarmine score with just under three minutes remaining in the period brought the Knights back within one, senior Tommy McKee (Holt, Mich.) buried his only goal of the game with 1:06 on the clock, extending his nation-leading goal-scoring streak to 27 straight games.
The Falcons pushed their lead back to four early in the fourth quarter, as senior Bryan Price (Denver, Colo.) tallied his first goal of the season after winning the opening face-off of the period. Bellarmine responded with another score two and a half minutes later, while freshman Austin Smith (Golden, Colo.) notched his lone goal with 8:40 remaining. The final five minutes was riddled with penalties for both teams, but neither team was able to get back on the scoreboard, as Air Force held on for the 13-9 victory.
Air Force controlled the offensive pace of the game, nearly doubling up the Knights on shots taken (50-28). The Falcons also had a 33-25 edge on ground balls and won 16-of-25 face-offs for the game. Leading the way at the X was Price, who won 11-of-17 draws and grabbed a season-high eight ground balls.
In addition to Crampton's three goals, he also pitched in two assists for the Falcons, while McKee tallied a goal and a career-high three assists to help lead Air Force's offense.
The Falcons return to action next Saturday, March 15, when they visit Jacksonville in a non-conference match-up.

MLAX FINAL: #14 Penn 12, Villanova 11
VILLANOVA, Pa. - The University of Pennsylvania men's lacrosse team has
enjoyed plenty of fantastic finishes this season, but the one that the
Quakers pulled off at Villanova on Saturday might have topped them all.
Down, 11-7, in the fourth quarter, the Red and Blue rallied with five
unanswered goals over the game's final eight minutes and eked past the
Wildcats, 12-11.
In this increasingly fierce rivalry - this was the fourth time in five
years one goal decided the outcome - Penn improved to 3-1 on the young
season with Ivy rival Princeton on the horizon.
Villanova's Johnny Gallaway opened the scoring for Villanova, but the
Quakers got goals from Jeff Puckette and Kevin Brown just 1:02 apart to
take a 2-1 lead midway through the first quarter. However, Gallaway
finished a Jack Curran feed, then Tim Mulrenan made it 3-2 in the
Wildcats' favor before opening period ended.
Villanova (1-3) extended its lead to 5-2 in the second period, as Mulrenan
scored a pair of goals (assists going to John LoCascio and Kevin O'Neil).
Nick Doktor got one of the goals back for the Quakers, but O'Neil netted
his first of the day with just 14 seconds left in the half and the teams
went to the locker rooms with the Wildcats up, 6-3.
Eric Gartner opened the third-quarter scoring with an unassisted goal,
putting Villanova up 7-3, but the Quakers rallied with four unanswered
goals over a span of 3:11 to tie the game. Isaac Bock started the run off
a Joe McCallion feed, then McCallion found Austin Kreinz for his first
goal of the game. Pat Berkery made it a one-goal game off a Zack Losco
feed, and then Doktor netted his second off a Puckette feed.
Villanova recovered. Less than a minute after Doktor tied it, Kurtis
Naslonski put the Wildcats back in front with an unassisted goal, then
nearly four minutes later Chris Piccirilli doubled the lead off an O'Neil
feed. The teams went to the final quarter with the 'Cats up, 9-7.
Gallaway made it 10-7 early in the fourth quarter, finishing a feed from
Austin Frederick, and then less than a minute later O'Neil made it 11-7
with an assist going to Curran.
Penn made it 11-8 with 8:05 left when Berkery netted his second,
unassisted. Less than two minutes later, Drew Belinsky scored his first of
the game, unassisted. Chris Hupfeldt then made it a one-goal game with
5:15 still to play off a feed from Isaac Bock. Then the senior duo of
Losco and Belinsky knotted the score, the former feeding the latter for
his second of the game.
With exactly two minutes left, McCallion gave the Quakers their first lead
since 2-1 when he finished a feed from Belinsky. That proved to be enough.
Penn opens Ivy League play next Saturday at archrival Princeton, facing
off with the Tigers at 3 p.m.

COSTA MESA, Calif. ?[/B] On a perfect California day it was an imperfect result for the University of Notre Dame men's lacrosse team as the sixth-ranked Fighting Irish fell to No. 12 Denver, 10-7, in the inaugural Pacific Coast Shootout at LeBard Stadium on the campus of Orange Coast College.
Denver (4-2) jumped out to a 2-0 lead by the 6:14 mark of the opening quarter with scores from Erik Adamson[/B], who had six goals in the game, and Jack Bobzien[/B]. Attackman Westy Hopkins[/B] put the Irish on the board with 5:21 remaining in the opening quarter, but consecutive tallies from Adamson and a man-up deposit from Zach Miller[/B] gave the Pioneers a 5-1 advantage just over two minutes into the second period.
Notre Dame (2-2) responded with a 3-0 run of its own. Midfielder Trevor Brosco[/B] found the back of the net with 9:33 left in the first half and a man-up goal from fellow midfielder Sergio Perkovic[/B] 55 seconds later sliced the deficit to two (5-3). Fighting Irish attackman John Scioscia[/B] converted a man-up opportunity at the 2:26 mark of the quarter to make it just a one-goal affair. Scioscia, a senior, registered three goals and an assist on the day.
A goal from Adamson with 1:30 left in the first half gave the Pioneers a 6-4 lead at the intermission. The only score of the third quarter came from Notre Dame's Conor Doyle[/B] with just 16 seconds remaining to make it a one-goal contest heading into the final period.
Deposits from Miller and Adamson pushed the Pioneer lead to three (8-5) early in the fourth quarter. A goal from Scioscia cut the deficit back to two with 10:30 left, but Denver regained the three-goal edge on a Wesley Berg[/B] score at the seven-minute mark.
Scioscia completed his hat trick with a man-up goal with 5:37 left, however that would be the final tally of the day for the Fighting Irish. Adamson made it a 10-7 final when he scored with just over two minutes remaining.
"Denver's a very good team and they're very good offensively," Notre Dame head coach Kevin Corrigan said. "They are patient and they take the air out of the ball and that tends to put pressure on your offense because you don't have a lot of possessions. When we had possession, we were getting what we wanted if we didn't turn the ball over."
Notre Dame outshot Denver 46-29 and the Irish converted on three of their five man-up opportunities. The Fighting Irish also dominated the faceoff competition as senior Liam O'Connor[/B] was 15 of 21.
Freshman goalie Shane Doss[/B] made his first career start for the Fighting Irish and made eight saves. Denver's Ryan LaPlante[/B] made 10 saves in the first half, while Jamie Faus[/B] had seven stops in the second stanza.
"We outshot them, but just missed the goal on too many of them," Corrigan said. "Their goalies played very well; they had 17 saves. We had 24 shots on goal, which was about half of our shot total. You can't miss a goal half the time you're shooting it. We missed the goal on some of our better opportunities."
Notre Dame returns to Atlantic Coast Conference action next Sunday when No. 2 Virginia visits Arlotta Stadium. Faceoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast on ESPNU.

POST-GAME QUOTES
Head Coach Kateri Linville
[On the team victory]: "We battled hard as we had a few things not go our way here and there. We had a few errors in transition, but at the end of the day, we didn't let that hold us back. We kept fighting through and finding a way to put the ball in the back of the net. It wasn't our best game by any means, but I really liked how the team stayed resilient from start to finish."
[On the duo of Casey Lyons and Lauren VanDaniker]: "Casey has a great stick and is a terrific finisher. Lauren is a very skilled player and she's extremely composed on the field. Both of them are patient when helping us move the ball and finding easy shooting opportunities."
Sophomore Casey Lyons
[On the team victory]: "We were able to stay positive when we were down and play together as a team. It's a great feeling to get a win here as the home atmosphere is what gets us going and keeps us pumped up. Even when we are down, we know that this is our house and there is no other option than winning."
[On pairing with Lauren VanDaniker]: "We usually know where each other is on the field, whether we have the ball or not If I'm not open, she knows to look for other people or drive herself."
Sophomore Lauren VanDaniker
[On playing with Casey Lyons]: "When I have pressure on me, she's really good at being there so I don't have to be doubled as long and I'm able to pop it back to her. Casey is really good at finishing when she has the ball."

Blue Devils Fall to No. 5 Loyola
March 9, 2014
BALTIMORE, Md.?Loyola's Matt Sawyer and Nikko Pontrello combined for 11 goals to lead the fifth-ranked Greyhounds to a 14-7 victory over No. 4 Duke this evening at Ridley Athletic Complex. Christian Walsh led the Blue Devils with two tallies.
Loyola improves to 5-1 overall, while Duke drops to 4-2 on the year with both losses coming to top-five opponents.
"First off we'd like to congratulate Loyola University and Coach Toomey and his staff," said head coach John Danowski. "It was a great coaching job. I thought their kids shot the ball terrifically and they played very very well. So we tip our caps to Loyola and we move on. We move on and look forward to playing Marquette Tuesday night."
Similar to the game eight days ago at Maryland, Duke traded goals with Loyola in an opening quarter that featured two lead changes and three ties. A Jordan Wolf goal put the Blue Devils up 4-3 after 15 minutes, but it was all
Greyhounds in the next quarter as they ran off five unanswered and six of the next seven for an 8-5 lead at halftime.
Loyola held Duke without a goal for 16:08 before Walsh notched his second of the evening to make it 8-5. Matt Sawyer threw in three scores for the Greyhounds during the run and posted four overall in the opening half. Overall, Sawyer and Pontrello combined for six of the Greyhounds' eight tallies before halftime.
The Greyhounds added two more in the third quarter before Duke sophomore Deemer Class put the Blue Devils on the board to make it 10-6. Duke's defense stifled the Greyhound attack in the final eight minutes of the third, but was unable to get any closer than four.
With plenty of time for Duke to rally from a four-goal deficit, Loyola quickly made life much more difficult for the Blue Devils with a pair of scores in the first 1:52 for a 13-6 advantage.
Myles Jones stopped Duke's 11-minute scoreless stretch at the 8:11 mark of the fourth, but the seven-goal deficit was too much to overcome for the Blue Devils.
Sophomore Luke Aaron and Kyle Turri shared time in goal. Turri had five saves in 15 minutes of action, while Aaron finished with three saves in the loss. Loyola senior Jack Runkel finished with nine saves in 60 minutes.
Loyola outshot Duke 39-31 and held a 35-34 edge in ground balls. Brendan Fowler won 13-of-23 restarts and picked up seven ground balls. Casey Carroll led the defensive effort with two caused turnovers and three ground balls.
The Blue Devils take a day off before playing Marquette March 11 at 7 p.m. Duke hosts ACC rival North Carolina March 15 at 2 p.m., on ESPNU.

The Greyhounds added two more in the third quarter before Duke sophomore Deemer Class put the Blue Devils on the board to make it 10-6. Duke's defense stifled the Greyhound attack in the final eight minutes of the third, but was unable to get any closer than four.
With plenty of time for Duke to rally from a four-goal deficit, Loyola quickly made life much more difficult for the Blue Devils with a pair of scores in the first 1:52 for a 13-6 advantage.
Myles Jones stopped Duke's 11-minute scoreless stretch at the 8:11 mark of the fourth, but the seven-goal deficit was too much to overcome for the Blue Devils.
Sophomore Luke Aaron and Kyle Turri shared time in goal. Turri had five saves in 15 minutes of action, while Aaron finished with three saves in the loss. Loyola senior Jack Runkel finished with nine saves in 60 minutes.
Loyola outshot Duke 39-31 and held a 35-34 edge in ground balls. Brendan Fowler won 13-of-23 restarts and picked up seven ground balls. Casey Carroll led the defensive effort with two caused turnovers and three ground balls.
The Blue Devils take a day off before playing Marquette March 11 at 7 p.m. Duke hosts ACC rival North Carolina March 15 at 2 p.m., on ESPNU.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. ? Defenseman Jimmy Craft took a short pass from his goalie in front of his own restraining line, noticed opposing goalie Matt Poillon drifting from his net and flung it three quarters the length of the field early in the fourth quarter. The ball sailed in the air all the way into the open net just missing the outstretched stick of the goalie as he dove across the goal line. Craft's score, which brought on a sideline celebration reserved for championship games, gave Yale a 9-1 lead and was the play that absolutely put away Lehigh in a battle of ranked teams at Reese Stadium.
The No. 17 Bulldogs (3-1), led by a blanketing defense, pounded No. 15 Lehigh 10-2 in a crucial non-league men's lacrosse contest for both sides. The Mountain Hawks (5-2) were held to just three shots on target on 17 attempts despite being competitive in almost every statistical category other than a game-high 21 turnovers.
"We knew that they were really aggressive in the ride and they were going into a 10-man ride, which would bring the goalie out of the net," said Craft about his goal. "We practiced it all week. It just gave us an open look at the goal, and figured I'd shoot it."
Lehigh, coming off a nine-goal effort in victory over Bucknell, was not comfortable with a very inhospitable host. Yale did not allow the Lehigh offense any space and punished every player with a ball on his stick near a potential scoring location.
"This was just a great team effort," said Craft, the Yale captain. "Coach Baxter did a great job with one day getting us ready to play these guys. Saturday (loss to Fairfield) was a setback for us, so today we just went back to our guns: process, communicated and everybody was on the same page, talking all day. It was a good stepping-stone for us."
Meanwhile, the Eli offense was clicking. Senior Colin Flaherty hit the net two times as the Bulldogs took 39 shots and never trailed.
"We just played unselfish, got out there right away got the pace going," said Mangan. "They were predicted to have one of the best defenses in the country, but we didn't let that stop us, we just played our game instead of letting them dictate the tempo."
The home team didn't dominate the X tonight, but Dylan Levings still made some great plays. One of his efforts was the highlight of the first half and sent the Blue into halftime with a commanding 5-1 advantage.
The senior won the face-off and the ground ball, raced toward the cage and got hit by a Lehigh defenseman about eight feet from the net. Instead of bouncing back with the blow, Levings spun with the force of the hit and went completely around before firing into the upper corner of the net. It was an amazing example of athleticism and balance, not to mention determination.
Junior Jack Meyer (1 save) for the last 7:13 of the game.
"I'm very proud of the performance. I think the guys had a sour taste in their mouth after the Fairfield game, and they wanted to get back out there against somebody," said Andy Shay, The Ryan & Forst Family Head Coach.
The Bulldogs begin play in the Ivy League this Saturday with a 1 p.m. game at Cornell that can be seen live on the Ivy League Digital Network.

ITHACA, N.Y. ? The 59th season of Ivy League men's lacrosse began today with No. 8 Cornell holding off a second-half Bulldog surge to hand No. 17 Yale an 11-9 loss.
The Elis (3-2, 0-1 Ivy) held the 6-0 Big Red to one goal over the last 30 minutes, but there was too much ground to make up after a problematic second quarter.
Conrad Oberbeck, who had three goals, opened the scoring at 13:12 when he converted a pass from Alex Otero. After the home team evened the score, Austin Rocco notched his second of the year. Cornell answered again, so Sean Shakespeare's cannon shot from the left flat two minutes later gave the Blue a 3-2 lead.
The Big Red got the next two to take their first lead. Dylan Levings, who had an excellent first quarter but finished seven for 16 over the first 30 minutes, picked up the ground ball off the ensuing face-off and went the distance with his second goal of the year. He ended up taking 13 of 23 with six ground balls.
Cornell got another with 14 seconds left in the first, one of five straight goals that enabled the Red to pull away in a rough second quarter for the Bulldogs. During the second, the home squad had 11 of the 16 shots and 12 of the 15 ground balls on the way to a five-goal halftime lead.
Oberbeck ended the bleeding by converting a Brandon Mangan pass, one-timing it on a cut to the net for his second of the day.
Yale began the third with momentum as Colin Flaherty ran in from the sideline and fired a waist-high shot. Then Shakespeare, who ran in from mid field, spun a defenseman around and then bounced one past the Cornell goalie to make it 10-7.
The Elis jumped all over an extra-man opportunity to cut the margin to two with Oberbeck's third, a lefty shot from the right wing that was the third straight for the Blue.
Cornell ended the Yale run by making it 11-8 to close out the third. Nobody would have thought that would be the end of the scoring for the home team. The Yale defense, which held Lehigh to a pair of goals on Tuesday, deserves a lot of credit for holding the Red to three less goals than their season average.
Shakespeare got his hat trick late in the fourth, but it was too late for another Yale run.
Eric Natale finished with 11 saves in the Yale net as Cornell had a 41-34 advantage in shots.

Fletcher, Runkel Pace Defense-Led 7-6 Men's Lacrosse Win Over Army[/B]
BALTIMORE ? Loyola University Maryland goalkeeper Jack Runkel made 19 saves on 45 U.S. Military Academy shots, and defender Joe Fletcher picked up five ground balls, as the second-ranked Greyhounds held off the Black Knights for a 7-6 Patriot League win on Saturday afternoon in front of 2,624 fans at Ridley Athletic Complex.
In addition to his ground balls, several of which came at key moments in the action, Fletcher held his Army's leading scorer, John Glessner who entered the game with 15 goals and seven assists, to two goals on 22 shots.
Loyola (6-1 overall, 3-0 Patriot League) entered the game ranked third nationally in shooting percentage, scoring on 37.9 percent of their shots this season. The Black Knights' defense, which was first in the nation in scoring defense by allowing just 5.33 goals in their first six games, held the Greyhounds to just 20 percent from the field (seven goals on 35 shots), its worst mark of the year.
After Loyola scored the first two goals of the game, Army (4-3, 2-1) evened the game with just eight-tenths of a second left in the first period. Glessner, a high school teammate of Fletcher's at West Genesse High School in Syracuse, went on the run down the right alley and snuck a hard shot inside the far post to tie the game at 3-3.
A scoreless second quarter that saw Runkel make five saves and Army's Sam Somers post three, Army took a 4-3 lead 2:23 into the third quarter when Shea Mullins scored his second of the game. Mullins rolled right-to-left 12 yards out and tallied a goal with a sidearm shot.
Later in the third quarter, the Greyhounds had a protracted offensive possession, extended by Pat Frazier and Fletcher pickups after balls rolled to or over the midfield line.
Somers made a save on a Brian Schultz shot from the left side, but the ball rebouned out of the crease and into traffic. An Army defender came up with the ball momentarily, but it was jostled away, Kevin Ryan picked up the loose ball and scored his second of the game to tie the score at 4-4 with 6:53 left in the frame.
Loyola went back in front with 2:22 remaining in the third quarter as Justin Ward fed Schultz who was rolling the crease. Schultz got topside and scored to push the Greyhounds up one.
Nearly a third of the way into the fourth quarter, Army went a man-down after an unnecessary roughness call, and the Black Knights were forced to play two short after a cross-check was flagged during the playout of the extra-man opportunity.
Ward used the two-man advantage to the Greyhounds' benefit, shooting a hard pass from the point to Nikko Pontrello on the top left of the crease, and Pontrello shot-faked Somers to score at 10:45.
Less than two minutes later, Loyola pressed out to its largest lead of the game, 7-4, when it recorded a transition goal.
Runkel made a save on a Glessner shot, and Fletcher picked up the ground ball as it rebounded out of the crease. Defender Pat Frazier made the run into the offensive box for Loyola, and Pat Laconi found him posted up four yards in front of the goal. Frazier scored his first career goal at 8:52, giving the Greyhounds a three-goal lead.
Minutes later, Somers stopped a Schultz right-side attempt, but Zack Sirico came up with a ground ball in front of the crease from his knees. Sirico flipped an over-the shoulder shot from the ground, but Somers was there again to make the save.
Somers sent an outlet over the top, and Army's Jimbo D'Aprile ran the ball into the offensive end. He found Glessner on the doorstep of the left side, and he finished with his second goal of the game at 4:22.
Loyola looked to run more time off the clock, but Pat Hart caused a turnover for the Black Knights. In transition, Tim Stackpole took a shot, but a Loyola defender checked his stick. The ball floated right to Will Mazzone on the close left side, and Mazzone scored at 2:18 to make it a 7-6 Loyola lead.
Army won the ensuing faceoff, but Glessner's first attempt was high, and Runkel saved the second to give the Greyhounds possession.
Loyola successfully cleared the ball, and Ward broke out of a triple-team at the top left corner of the box. He threw a lob pass to Shultz on the opposite side of the crease, and Schultz dumped a one-time shot on goal. Somers, however, came sliding across to make a save, and Army cleared the ball with 30 seconds to play in regulation.
An initial Glessner attempt went wide left, and the Black Knights took a timeout with just over six seconds left on the clock. Glessner tried to speed-dodge Fletcher from the end line, but he could not get an angle, and his shot went wide right and out of bounds with just over a second left.
Led by the five from Fletcher, Loyola had a 34-25 advantage in ground balls, a mark that was 20-11 in the second half.
The Greyhounds scored the first two goals of the game, opening up with a Ryan extra-man goal off a Ward assist at 13:01. Laconi then struck in transition at 10:34 after causing a turnover, picking up a ground ball and running a one-man clear.
Mullins scored Army's first at 5:54, but Pontrello posted up on his defender and scored from the left side at 2:41 to put the Greyhounds up, 3-1.
Gunnar Miller used a long-range bouncer to pull Army within a goal with 60 seconds left in the first quarter before Glesener's first strike tied the game.
The Greyhounds are back in action quickly as they travel to Washington, D.C., for a 6 p.m. faceoff at Georgetown University on Wednesday, March 19, 2014. The game from Multi-Sport Field will air live on CBS Sports Network.

Harvard Subdues Bears, 16-10
Boston, Mass. - With the score tied, 8-8 at the half, Harvard scored six unanswered goals to take control of the game and secure a 16-10 win over Brown Saturday evening at Soldiers Field Stadium in the Ivy League opener for both teams. The loss drops the Bears to 3-2 overall, 0-1 in the Ivy League, while Harvard improves to 4-2, 1-0 in league play.
After Harvard scored on its first two possessions, Brown settled down and tied the game, 2-2, on goals by sophomore Brendan Caputo (Westbury, NY) and junior Tyler Landis (Coppell, TX) with 8:35 left in the opening quarter.
Three Harvard goals sandwiched around a Caputo goal for the Bears gave the Crimson a 5-3 lead after one quarter.
The Bears fell behind by three goals, 8-5, midway through the second quarter, following a Crimson tally by Will Walker.
The score could have been much worse had it not been for the tremendous play of Bears' sophomore goalie Jack Kelly (West Islip, NY). His strong play in goal with nine first half saves, enabled the Bears to back in the game. Two straight goals by junior Tim Jacob (Palo Alto, CA), and another by Caputo, with five seconds left, tied the game, 8-8 at the half.
The Crimson broke the game open at the outset of the second half with five unanswered goals in the third quarter and another at the beginning of the fourth quarter to pull ahead by a 14-8 margin following a goal by Daniel Eipp with 11:20 left in the contest.
Overall, Harvard out-shot the Bears by a 45-30 margin and had the advantage in the face-off-x, winning 17-of-28 face-offs.
Three Brown players scored two goals each for Brown, senior Sam Hurster (St. Louis, MO), Jacob and Caputo. Landis finished with a goal and three assists, while Kelly made 15 saves overall.
Eipp, Devin Dwyer and Walker, who each scored three goals, led Harvard's attack. Jake Gambiysky registered 10 saves in the Crimson goal.
The Bears travel to Lewisburg, PA, to face Bucknell on Wednesday, March 19, in the first ever meeting between the two schools. Face-off is 3:30 pm

Boston, Mass. - With the score tied, 8-8 at the half, Harvard scored six unanswered goals to take control of the game and secure a 16-10 win over Brown Saturday evening at Soldiers Field Stadium in the Ivy League opener for both teams. The loss drops the Bears to 3-2 overall, 0-1 in the Ivy League, while Harvard improves to 4-2, 1-0 in league play.
After Harvard scored on its first two possessions, Brown settled down and tied the game, 2-2, on goals by sophomore Brendan Caputo (Westbury, NY) and junior Tyler Landis (Coppell, TX) with 8:35 left in the opening quarter.
Three Harvard goals sandwiched around a Caputo goal for the Bears gave the Crimson a 5-3 lead after one quarter.
The Bears fell behind by three goals, 8-5, midway through the second quarter, following a Crimson tally by Will Walker.
The score could have been much worse had it not been for the tremendous play of Bears' sophomore goalie Jack Kelly (West Islip, NY). His strong play in goal with nine first half saves, enabled the Bears to back in the game. Two straight goals by junior Tim Jacob (Palo Alto, CA), and another by Caputo, with five seconds left, tied the game, 8-8 at the half.
The Crimson broke the game open at the outset of the second half with five unanswered goals in the third quarter and another at the beginning of the fourth quarter to pull ahead by a 14-8 margin following a goal by Daniel Eipp with 11:20 left in the contest.
Overall, Harvard out-shot the Bears by a 45-30 margin and had the advantage in the face-off-x, winning 17-of-28 face-offs.
Three Brown players scored two goals each for Brown, senior Sam Hurster (St. Louis, MO), Jacob and Caputo. Landis finished with a goal and three assists, while Kelly made 15 saves overall.
Eipp, Devin Dwyer and Walker, who each scored three goals, led Harvard's attack. Jake Gambiysky registered 10 saves in the Crimson goal.
The Bears travel to Lewisburg, PA, to face Bucknell on Wednesday, March 19, in the first ever meeting between the two schools. Face-off is 3:30 pm

Wolf Lifts Duke Over North Carolina in OT, 9-8
March 15, 2014
DURHAM, N.C. ? Senior attackman Jordan Wolf's goal at the 2:34 mark of the first overtime period propelled No. 6 Duke to a 9-8 win over No. 4 North Carolina in ACC men's lacrosse action Saturday afternoon at Koskinen Stadium.
"Christian Walsh came down and made a nice move," said Wolf. "We've been playing together for a long time and have great chemistry and I knew he was going to throw it to me and set a pick. I attacked the ball, got to five-on-five, inside roll and stuck it fortunately."
The Blue Devils improve to 6-2 overall and 1-1 in conference play while the Tar Heels fall to 5-2 overall and 0-2 in league action.
"I thought it was a terrific college athletic event," said head coach John Danowski. "It was a great crowd, two teams playing really hard and fans cheering for both teams. I just thought it was everything that is good about our sport. I thought it was a great display for college lacrosse."
Trailing 8-7 with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth period, Duke notched the equalizer when junior Kyle Keenan utilized a roll dodge on the right-hand side for his career-high third marker of the day at the 1:47 mark. The Blue Devils later had possession for the final 45 seconds of regulation, but the stingy Tar Heel defense did not surrender a shot attempt.
"I was just looking for the slide to come to me and I got my hands free. The slide came and I had the opportunity to shoot. That last [goal] the ball came back around and I dodged both ways a couple times and just let it fly."
In overtime, Brendan Fowler won the faceoff, and following a Duke timeout, Wolf pushed the Blue Devils to their 17th win over North Carolina in the last 19 meetings. Fowler had won just six of his previous 18 faceoff battles with UNC's Stephen Kelly, who took all 20 draws for the Tar Heels, winning 13.
Wolf's overtime heroics capped a four-goal, one-assist performance for the Wynnewood, Pa., native, who now has career totals of 143 goals and 94 assists. Deemer Class and Case Matheis each had one goal and one assist while Matheis, Luke Duprey and Henry Lobb registered five ground balls apiece.
Both goalkeepers ? North Carolina's Kieran Burke and Duke's Luke Aaron ? were sensational all afternoon, both making 15 saves. Aaron posted five of his saves in the fourth period.
Two Tar Heels ? Jimmy Bitter and Miachel Tagliaferri ? carded three goals apiece while Joey Sankey had two tallies.
Saturday's tilt featured five ties and three lead changes. Bitter's third goal of the day with 1:33 left in the third quarter gave the Tar Heels a two-goal cushion at 7-5, but Class and Wolf had consecutive tallies at the 11:25 and 6:27 marks of the fourth period to knot the score. North Carolina then responded
with Tagliaferri's third counter with 5:13 remaining.
Duke will travel to Furman Tuesday evening before hosting Syracuse next Sunday, March 23 at 12:30 p.m. The game will be televised by ESPNU.

Wolf Lifts Duke Over North Carolina in OT, 9-8
March 15, 2014

No. 11 Notre Dame Doubles Up No. 7 Virginia, 18-9
Fighting Irish improve to 2-0 in ACC play.
[/URL][/URL][/URL][/URL]
NOTRE DAME, Ind. ? A seven-goal second quarter and a nine-goal fourth quarter put the No. 11 Notre Dame men's lacrosse team well on its way to an 18-9 victory over No. 7 Virginia on Sunday evening inside the Loftus Sports Center. The win moves the Fighting Irish to 2-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and places them in a tie with Maryland for first place in the league.
Notre Dame (3-2, 2-0) used 11 different goal scorers in the win and the offense was spearheaded by a four-goal, two-assist effort from sophomore attackman Matt Kavanagh, while junior midfielder Nick Ossello chipped in with his first career hat trick. Not only did senior Liam O'Connor go 19-for-24 in faceoffs, he tallied a goal and an assist.
"So much of it tonight was the faceoff game," Notre Dame head coach Kevin Corrigan said. "When you're playing make-it, take-it like that and not only winning the faceoffs, but putting pressure on them, that's tough."
Virginia (6-2, 1-1) struck first in the contest on a Zed Williams tally at the 11:38 mark of the first quarter, but Notre Dame would score eight of the game's next nine goals. The Irish didn't net their first goal until seven seconds remained in the opening period when freshman midfielder Sergio Perkovic found the back of the net.
The Fighting Irish took the lead for good with just over 11 minutes left in the second quarter on a goal from midfielder Trevor Brosco. O'Connor won the ensuing faceoff, took the ball through the Cavalier defense and scored to make it 3-1. Following a man-up goal from Virginia's Mark Cockerton, Notre Dame registered five consecutive scores in a span of 2:20. The surge began on an Ossello goal with 8:25 left in the first half and then Kavanagh gave the Irish a three-goal lead (5-2). Ossello and Kavanagh scored the next two goals of the uprising before midfielder Tyler Brenneman finished things off.
Virginia's Ryan Tucker scored with 15 seconds left in the half to make it an 8-3 contest at the intermission. The Cavaliers netted the first two goals of the second stanza to slice the Irish lead to three with 8:34 remaining in the third quarter. A man-up goal from Notre Dame's John Scioscia was followed by a Cavalier deposit from Greg Coholan and the Irish took a 9-6 advantage into the final period.
Goals from Scioscia and attackman Conor Doyle, who had a career-high three assists, 15 seconds apart put the Irish up by five (11-6) in the early stages of the fourth quarter. Virginia's Tyler German trimmed the lead back to four, but another Irish run put the game out of reach. This outburst saw the Fighting Irish net four unanswered goals in a span of 1:11. Ossello started it once again and then Perkovic scored before back-to-back tallies from Kavanagh made it 15-7 with just over seven minutes left to play. After a goal from Tucker, Pat Cotter, Cole Riccardi and Jack Doyle scored Notre Dame's final three goals of the game.
"Any time you play that well against a team that good it's a confidence boost," Corrigan said. "The reality is that you look at our schedule and if we play well, we're going to have a chance to win and if we play poorly, we're going to have a good chance to lose. We just have to keep concentrating on the next day and keep getting better. It's great to have a day like today, but at the end of the year it's one win and an 8-7 loss to Penn State is one loss and we have to keep both in the right perspective."
Virginia, who was making its first-ever appearance at Notre Dame, entered the contest averaging nearly 14 goals per game this season. Cavalier attackman James Pannell had scored 24 goals this season prior to today's game and the Fighting Irish defense held him without a point.
Notre Dame freshman goalie Shane Doss made nine saves to earn his second victory of the campaign. The Fighting Irish outshot the Cavaliers 40-26 and Virginia goalie Matt Barrett had 10 stops. Notre Dame converted on both of its man-up chances, while Virginia was 1-of-5.
"I thought he (Doss) let a couple in today, but he stole a bunch and he was really, really good," Corrigan said. "Our defense was very solid. Steve O'Hara is just a stud. He is a guy that we don't have to slide to when he's on the ball. If you can have a couple guys like that, it makes it a whole lot easier to play team defense. He's playing at a very, very high level."
Notre Dame is back in action March 25 at Ohio State. The non-conference tilt is slated for 4 p.m. (ET) in Columbus, Ohio.

Fletcher, Runkel Repeat As Patriot League Weekly Honorees[/B]
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. ? Loyola University Maryland senior Jack Runkel won his fourth-straight Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Week Award, and senior Joe Fletcher earned his third Defensive Player of the Week honor in four weeks, on Monday, the League office announced.
The pair led Loyola's defense in an 7-6 win over the U.S. Military Academy on Saturday afternoon at Ridley Athletic Complex.
Runkel made a season-high 19 saves in goal for the second-ranked Greyhounds (6-1 overall, 3-0 Patriot League), three off his career-high, and he yielded just five goals off settled situations. He is also in the running for Inside Lacrosse's[/I] Brine National Player of the Week.
Over Loyola's last five games, Runkel has played to a 5.25 goals against average and made saves on 70.9 percent of the shots on goal he has faced. This year, in seven games, Runkel has allowed a 7.27 goals against average and made saves 61.8 percent of the time. His overall save percentage is fourth nationally, and his goals against average is seventh.
Fletcher was matched up against his former high school teammate John Glesener, the Patriot League Preseason Offensive Player of the Year. Glesener took 22 shots in the game, but most were from long-range, and he put only seven on goal. Runkel made saves on five of those shots, and Glesner finished with just two goals.
Fletcher also picked up five ground balls, all contested in traffic to help the Greyhounds to a 34-25 advantage in pickups. He leads the team with 30 ground balls and 11 caused turnovers this season.
Loyola is back in action midweek, playing at Georgetown University on Wednesday, March 19, at 6 p.m. in a game that will air live on CBS Sports Network.

PRINCETON, N.J. - The first Ivy League games of the season were on the slate last weekend with Harvard, Princeton and Cornell each recording wins at home.
The Big Red jumped out to a big lead and then held off a second-half charge to beat Yale, 11-9. Cornell led 10-5 at the break, but after Yale scored twice in 37 seconds, the lead had been cut to 10-8 with 4:14 left in the third.

Pontrello Scores Late To Push Men's Lacrosse Past Hoyas[/B]
WASHINGTON, D.C. ? Nikko Pontrello scored his third goal of the game with 51.4 seconds remaining in regulation, and David Manning had a caused turnover on the defensive end with less than seven seconds left to seal a 10-9 win for the No. 2 Loyola University Maryland men's lacrosse team at Georgetown University.
Pontrello tied the game with his second goal of the night with 7:55 left, and with a 30-second warning on, he dodged from behind the crease and rolled back toward the goal, sticking a low shot past Hoyas goalkeeper Jake Haley for the winner.
The Greyhounds (7-1 overall) overcame a night when Georgetown won 15-of-22 faceoffs and the Hoyas picked up four more ground balls, 30-26.
Georgetown (3-5) scored the first two goals of the fourth quarter to take a 9-8 lead when Bo Stafford fed a cross-crease pass to Reilly O'Connor, and O'Connor scored with 11:19 left.
O'Connor's goal game just eight seconds after Devon Lewis created the game's sixth tie with his second of the night.
Georgetown had another possession after O'Connor's goal, but Joe Fletcher caused a turnover on the defensive side for the Greyhounds. Haley, however, made a save on a Pat Laconi shot in transition to get the ball back for the Hoyas.
In settled offense, Georgetown's Peter Conley had his shot blocked by a Loyola defender, and Ryan Fournier came up with the ground ball for the Greyhounds, starting a transition run. The ball was worked to Ward on the high left side, and he found Pontrello rolling from behind the cage. Pontrello danced along the crease and shot-faked Haley for the goal at 7:55 to tied the game at 9-9.
Loyola earned possession after Pontrello's goal via a faceoff violation by the Hoyas, but Haley made a save on a Brian Sherlock shot. After a Georgetown turnover, he came up with another save ? he finished with 11 ? on Jeff Chase's attempt, getting the Hoyas another opportunity regain the lead.
Laconi trail-checked Charles McCormick to give Loyola the ball back, but after a Greyhounds' timeout, a turnover put Georgetown back on offense.
Stafford dodged free of his defender on the right side, but Jack Runkel was there to save his shot attempt at 2:19, preserving the tie for the Greyhounds and setting up the possession that led to Pontrello's game-winner.
Runkel posted nine saves in the win for Loyola.
After Pontrello's go-ahead go in the final minute, Tyler Knarr won his 15th faceoff of the night, picking up his 15th ground ball, and Georgetown called a timeout with 20 seconds left.
Stafford tried to speed-dodge from behind goal-line extended, but Manning checked the ball away, and Fletcher came up with the groundball to secure the win.
Georgetown opened up a 2-0 lead in the game's first 58 seconds thanks to a pair of faceoff wins by Knarr. Lewis scored unassisted 52 seconds into the game, and Knarr won the restart and scored six seconds later.
Runkel made a save on the Hoyas' third shot after they gained possession again, and Laconi finished a transition run with his fifth goal of the year.
Matt Sawyer then used a Tyler Albrecht pass to score from the right side at 9:06, tying the game at 2-2. The teams traded goals evenly over the next eight-plus minutes as Ward's stick off a Kyle Duffy ground ball and assist at 14:11 in the second quarter tied the game at 4-4.
Albrecht then got free down the left side and scored at 12:07, giving the Greyhounds their first lead of the contest.
Peter Conley, however, scored back-to-back goals for the Hoyas, and Georgetown led 6-5 at halftime. Charles McCormick had the second half's first goal at 11:30 to make Georgetown's lead two, but Brian Schultz bookended a Pontrello goal, and Loyola used a 3-0 run to lead 8-7 at the end of the third quarter.
Ward finished the night with five points, scoring a goal and assisting on four others. Pontrello scored all three of his goals in the second half, and both of Schultz's came in the third quarter.
Loyola reenters Patriot League play at home on Saturday, March 22, when the Greyhounds host Lafayette College at 1 p.m. at Ridley Athletic Complex. The game is the first of a doubleheader in which the Loyola women host Lehigh University at 4 p.m.

Bears Fall To Bucknell, 13-8
Lewisburg, PA - Bucknell utilized a 6-0 second quarter spurt to take control of the game and come away with a 13-8 non-league lacrosse win over Brown Wednesday afternoon at Christy Mathewson Memorial Stadium. The Bears fall to 3-3 overall with the loss, while Bucknell improves to 4-4 overall.
The Bison jumped out to a 3-1 lead after one quarter on goals by Joe Ryan, Todd Heritage and Thomas Flibotte, with sophomore Bailey Tills (Denver, CO) finding the back of the net for the Bears.
Bucknell opened the flood gates at the beginning of the second quarter with six straight goals to grab a 9-1 advantage with 7:21 remaining in the half following a goal by Peter Burke. Bears' sophomore Kylor Bellistri (Potomac, MD) scored his first goal of the game with 5:08 left in the half to trail, 9-2. A late Bucknell goal gave the Bison a 10-2 lead at intermission.
Bellistri netted the opening goal of the second half for the Bears, but back-to-back goals by the Bison gave Bucknell a 12-3 advantage with 2:53 left in the third quarter.
Brown got consecutive goals by Tills, Tyler Landis (Coppell, TX), Brendan Caputo (Westbury, NY) and Tills again to trail 12-7 late in the fourth quarter.
Tills provided most of the scoring punch for the Bears with four goals, while Bellistri added two goals. The Bears split time in goal with Jack Kelly (West Islip, NY) making two saves while allowing 10 first half goals, and Will Round (Mt. Lebanon, PA) registering four second half saves.
The Bison were led by Todd Heritage, who netted two goals, and Sean Doyle, who added three goals.

Re: National College News DE HS Lax
NEW HAVEN, Conn. ? Mark Glicini had a feeling the ball might come to him with the score tied and the clock running down on a crucial Ivy League contest. The sophomore midfielder did get the ball and fired a shot over the goalie's shoulder from about 18 feet out with 38 seconds left to give the No. 16 Yale men's lacrosse team a 16-15 win over No. 13 Princeton before a packed house at Reese Stadium.
Glicini, who took a J.W. McGovern pass from behind the cage, took a step and sent a shot that bounced four feet from the goal line and kicked up over Princeton goalie Eric Sanschagrin, who had dropped too low. The ball sailed over his left shoulder to put the Blue up by one.
"It was back and forth the entire time, so I knew it would come down to one play," said Glicini, who had two goals and four points. "It wasn't an individual effort, our whole team did it. I thought it might come my way and I just wanted to make it count at the end. All of us knew to take our time, to find the right opportunity, and I'm glad I finished it but it was a great team effort."
That goal may not have happened if not for Sean Shakespeare's ground ball with about two minutes to play. The Yale junior was unable to catch a pass, but fought to get the ball back and prevent the visitors from having a chance to take the lead.
"We were clearing the ball and the pass from Jimmy Craft tipped off my stick and the Princeton guy picked it up. I knew that would be the game if they got the ball and went down to the other side of the field," said Shakespeare. "I gave it everything. I tried checking it out of the guy's stick just to get the ball back in our possession, and the ground ball happened to bounce my way."
Eight different Bulldogs found the net in Yale's highest scoring game of the season and the second-highest scoring game in the series. Brandon Mangan had a career-high five goals and seven points, while Conrad Oberbeck (3-3-6), Glicini and Michael Bonacci (2-1-3) also found the net multiple times.
The final statistics made no sense in a wild game that included three lead changes and a tie score at six different times. Dylan Levings dominated the X and took a career-high 25 of 35 face-offs while scooping up 14 ground balls. That made sense given the senior's amazing productivity against the Tigers over his career.
What didn't make sense ? considering the rough day on the X for four different Tigers - was Princeton's 45-32 advantage in shots, and the Tigers' also had a season-low five turnovers.
The area of the game that worked best for the visitors was their special teams. Princeton converted four of seven extra-man chances while stopped two of three Yale advantages.
"We knew it was going to be a grind and it was going to be a very tough league opponent," said Andy Shay, the Ryan & Forst Family Head Coach, who has played five straight one-goal, regular-season games against Princeton. "The kids knew they had a challenge ahead of them. We tried to get as many groundballs (35-21 Yale) as we could. We knew they were going to score goals, but we didn't plan on them scoring 15."
Glicini's goal did not clinch the game for Yale. Bulldog goalie Eric Natale, who made 10 saves, stopped a Kip Orban shot from close range with six seconds left and then fired the ball the length of the field to run out the last few seconds.
"You got to make one more save than you let in, and he did that," said Shay about his junior goalie. "He has a tendency to do that, and he came up big when we needed him to today."
Yale (4-2, 1-1 Ivy), which opened the game with a 4-0 run, didn't allow a possession by the visitors until the face-off after the fourth goal. The Elis saw the Tigers (4-3, 1-1) score eight of the next 10 to make it 7-6 Princeton at halftime. Sophomore midfielder Jake Froccaro had six of his Princeton-record 10 goals (ties the mark set in 1951) during that surge.

Air Force Defeats Binghamton, 10-8
VESTAL, N.Y. ? Senior captain Mike Crampton (Kinnelon, N.J.) tallied seven points to lead the Air Force lacrosse team to a 10-8 non-conference road victory over Binghamton on Sunday afternoon. With the win, their third in a row, the Falcons improve to 5-3 on the season, while the Bobcats fall to 2-5.
Crampton finished with four goals and three assists to lead the Falcons, while classmate Tommy McKee (Holt, Mich.) added a hat trick, his third of the season.
The Falcons were the first to find the back of the net, with Crampton scoring his first goal of the game just over five minutes into the opening period. Binghamton responded with a pair of goals in the next two minutes to take the lead, while Crampton followed with his second goal at the 7:18 mark. The Bobcats took a 3-2 lead with just over five minutes remaining in the first period, before Erik Smith (Sr., Golden, Colo.) scored with five seconds on the clock to tie the game at 3-3 going into the second quarter.
McKee tallied his first goal of the game to give Air Force a 4-3 lead midway through the second period, while Crampton added his third score with 4:14 on the clock. After Binghamton ended its scoring drought with two and a half minutes left in the first half, senior Kyle Cassady (Upper Arlington, Ohio) registered a man-up goal to give Air Force a 6-4 advantage going into the intermission.
After the break, the Falcons got back on the board quickly, as McKee scored off a face-off win by senior Bryan Price (Denver, Colo.) to open the period. The Bobcats were next to score, cutting the margin to 7-5, while a score by junior Keith Dreyer (Malvern, Pa.) have Air Force an 8-5 lead with just under 10 minutes remaining in the third period. However, Binghamton responded with three straight goals to bring the score to 8-8 heading into the final stanza.
The stalemate continued until the 2:38 mark in the fourth quarter, when McKee completed his hat trick with an assist from Crampton, giving Air Force the 9-8 advantage. Crampton tacked on another score with 1:06 remaining to ice the win for the Falcons.
Air Force outshot Binghamton for the game, 40-25, and held a 36-19 advantage on ground balls. In addition, the Falcons dominated at the face-off X, winning 17-of-22 draws. Price won 9-of-13 face-offs for Air Force, while Smith was 8-of-9 at the X, picking up a team-high eight ground balls.
Michael Antinozzi led Binghamton's offense with three goals and an assist, while goalkeeper Max Schefler came up with 16 stops for the Bearcats.
"Mike Crampton led the way for us today?he came to play," said Air Force head coach Eric Seremet. "Erik Smith had two big face-offs at the end when we really needed it. Despite a third-quarter lull, we grinded it out. I'm proud that we played to the end."
Air Force starts a three-game homestand next weekend, March 29, when it hosts ECAC foe Michigan. The game is slated to begin at 1:00 p.m. in Falcon Stadium.

Class Nets 10 Points as Duke Downs Syracuse, 21-7
March 23, 2014
DURHAM, N.C. ? Sophomore midfielder Deemer Class scored six goals and handed out four assists to lead No. 3 Duke past No. 6 Syracuse, 21-7, in ACC men's lacrosse action on a rainy afternoon at Koskinen Stadium.
Duke also received five goals each from Myles Jones and Jordan Wolf while Christian Walsh dished out a career-high six assists. The 10 total points for Class fell one shy of the school single-game record of 11 set on nine previous occasions, most recently by both Ned Crotty and Max Quinzani against Sacred Heart in 2010. The midfield line of Class, Jones and Walsh finished with 23 points overall on the day, while Walsh's six assists were the most since Crotty had six against Johns Hopkins in 2010.
"Just working hard all week in practice and trying pick spots, good fundamental shooting," said Class about what was working for him on his outside shots. "I just stepped in with confidence and shot it and I know Myles did the same. Confidence and keep working to get better every day is our team focus."
The Blue Devils (8-2, 2-1 ACC) pushed their winning streak to four games and have now defeated Syracuse four consecutive times. The 21 goals mark Duke's highest offensive output in ACC action since a 22-tally performance against N.C. State on March 1, 1973.
Playing its first season as a member of the ACC, the Orange (4-3, 0-3 ACC) dropped its third league contest in as many outings.
Duke faceoff specialist Brendan Fowler enjoyed the afternoon by winning a season-high 24-of-31 draws and securing a career-high 18 ground balls. Against the Orange in the 2013 NCAA championship game last May, Fowler won 20-of-28 faceoffs while totaling 14 ground balls en route to earning Most Outstanding Player honors as Duke won the national title.
Syracuse claimed a 2-1 lead less than four minutes into the game with goals by Derek DeJoe and Nicky Galasso, but the Blue Devils responded with 10 straight goals over a span of just 12:23 to take an 11-2 advantage on a marker by Class at the 12:18 mark of the second quarter. Class had all six of his goals in the first half as Duke built a 13-4 cushion at intermission.
"[The looks] were a product of great ball movement," Class said. "Guys like Christian Walsh and one mores and in our zone offense we'd try to draw two and move it move it move it. I was just on the receiving end of a lot of them so my success was a product of my teammates moving the ball."
Defensively Duke's defense was outstanding in holding the Orange scoreless for 19:19 and to just one goal on four man-up chances. On the other end of the field, the Blue Devils scored four times on six extra man opportunities.
Starter Luke Aaron (5 saves, 7 goals allowed in 51:30) and reserve Kyle Turri (1 save, 0 goals allowed in 8:30) shared duty in the Duke cage. For the Orange, starter Dominic Lamolinara (5 saves, 13 goals allowed) and Bobby Wardwell (11 saves, 8 goals allowed) split the 60 minutes.
Syracuse was led offensively by Randy Staats, who logged two goals and one assist.
"Your fear is don't let this game be the peak of a season," said head coach John Danowski. "Allow this game to show you the possibilities if you practice well, prepare well and play right. We don't want this game to define us. We need to learn from this and we need to grow and get better and be very critical of ourselves at this point."
Duke will host Harvard next Saturday at 12 p.m.

Hurster's Six Goals Propel Brown Over Marist, 13-11
Poughkeepsie, NY ? Senor attackman Sam Hurster (St. Louis, MO) scored six goals, including the game-winning score with 4:47 remaining, to propel the Brown men's lacrosse team to a 13-11 victory over Marist Tuesday evening at Tenney Stadium. Brown improves to 5-3 overall with the win, while Marist falls to 3-5.
With the game tied, 11-11, Hurster put the Bears on top for good, 12-11, on a pass from junior Tim Jacob (Palo Alto, CA) with just under five minutes to play.
Following a point-blank save by Bears' goalie Jack Kelly (West Islip, NY) with 1:11 remaining, Hurster added an insurance goal with 13 seconds left in regulation for the final margin of victory.
Hurster's six goals came on just six shots. Jacob also had a big game for the Bears with three goals and an assist. Kelly was brilliant in the Brown goal once again, making 16 saves as the Bears were out-shot by the Red Foxes by a 46-24 margin.
The Bears opened a 4-3 lead after one quarter on two goals by Jacob, and one each by Hurster and sophomore Kylor Bellistri (Potomac, MD).
Marist opened up the second quarter with two straight goals by Colin Joka to grab a 5-4 advantage. The two teams exchanged goals, Hurster scoring for the Bears and Mike Begley for the Red Foxes, to keep Marist in the lead, 6-5, with 4:05 remaining in the quarter.
Consecutive goals by Jacob, sophomore Brendan Caputo (Westbury, NY) and senior Brady Williams (New York, NY) with 16 seconds remaining gave Brown the lead at intermission, 8-6. Kelly had seven first half saves for the Bears to keep the Red Foxes at bay in the opening 30 minutes.
Brown led by as many as three goals late in the quarter, 11-8, following consecutive goals by freshman Dylan Molloy (Setauket, NY) and Hurster with 54 seconds remaining. Marist trailed, 11-9, after three quarters on a goal by Joseph Rudin with just two seconds remaining.
Marist controlled the action at the outset of the final quarter, getting goals from Radin and Drew Nesmith with 11:34 remaining to even the score, 11-11.
Brown returns to Ivy League action on Saturday, March 29, hosting Princeton at Stevenson Field, with face-off scheduled for 3 pm. The game is aired live on the Ivy League Digital Network.

Kavanagh Ties School Record With Seven Goals As #7 Irish Best Buckeyes, 13-7
Notre Dame improves to 4-2 on the season.
[/URL][/URL][/URL][/URL]
COLUMBUS, Ohio ? A program record-tying seven goals from sophomore attackman Matt Kavanagh propelled the seventh-ranked Notre Dame men's lacrosse team to a 13-7 victory over Ohio State on Tuesday afternoon at a blustery Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
The contest was delayed for over a half hour due to snow and Ohio State's Carter Brown scored the only goal of the opening quarter. It marked the first time all season the Fighting Irish were held scoreless for an entire quarter.
"We knew it was going to be an ugly game with the conditions and it was an ugly game. I think both teams had over 20 turnovers," Notre Dame head coach Kevin Corrigan said.
Following the slow start, Notre Dame (4-2) responded with five consecutive goals in a span of 5:33 to claim a four-goal lead by the 2:20 mark of the second quarter. Kavanagh scored the opening three goals for the Irish with the first two coming 21 seconds apart. Conor Doyle and Jim Marlatt both registered scores in a 19-second span to make it 5-1.
Ohio State (2-6) received goals from Turner Evans and Reegan Comeault in the final 45 seconds of the first half to cut the Irish cushion to two (5-3) by the intermission. The Buckeyes' run spilled over into the second half as Jesse King and David Planning scored to tie the game (5-5) with 8:38 remaining in the third quarter.
The series of spurts continued as the Fighting Irish scored three straight times beginning with a man-up goal from Doyle with just over a minute left in the third period. Kavanagh found the back of the net less than a minute later to give Notre Dame a 7-5 lead heading into the final stanza.
"Matt Kavanagh was terrific today," Corrigan said. "He scored two or three goals in scramble situations, which he is so tough in."
The Fighting Irish advantage increased to three on a Sergio Perkovic tally, but scores from Evans and Planning sliced the Buckeye deficit back to one (8-7) with 12:20 remaining in the contest.
Kavanagh began Notre Dame's final surge to victory when he notched his fifth goal of the afternoon with just over 11 minutes left. Following a Jack Near goal, Kavanagh scored again to make it 11-7 with 8:43 showing on the clock. Man-down goals from Kavanagh and Liam O'Connor, who went 15-for-24 in faceoff attempts, seven seconds apart put the finishing touches on the win.
"We told our guys it was going to be a 60-minute game and they (Ohio State) were going to make it a low-possession game and we just needed to stay with it and we did. We made the stops that we needed to late in the game to win," Corrigan said.
Notre Dame held a 31-22 shot advantage and freshman goalie Shane Doss made five saves in the victory. Scott Spencer had six stops for Ohio State. The Fighting Irish defense held the Buckeyes to 0-for-3 in man-up chances, while Notre Dame was 1-for-4.
Kavanagh's seven goals matched the program record held by Randy Colley (1993 vs. New Hampshire) and Ryan Hoff (2007 vs. Drexel). Kavanagh also had an assist in the game and his eight points were one shy of tying the program standard.
Notre Dame returns to Atlantic Coast Conference play Saturday at No. 10 Syracuse. Faceoff is slated for noon (ET) inside the Carrier Dome and the contest will be broadcast on ESPNU and WatchESPN.
