| CORTLAND, N.Y. ? Cortland scored seven straight goals while holding Ithaca scoreless for a stretch of more than 28 minutes in the second half to break an 8-8 tie and the nationally sixth-ranked Red Dragons defeated the Bombers, 15-10, in a non-league matchup. Cortland is 6-2 with the win, while Ithaca drops to 5-3. Sophomore Adam Hyde (West Seneca/West Seneca East) led the Red Dragons with three goals. Sophomore Ryan Heath (Baldwinsville/C.W. Baker), senior Mike Abbott (Syracuse/Nottingham) and senior Kyle Lambert (Brentwood) each finished with two goals and one assist and senior Brian Atkins (Adams/South Jefferson) scored twice. Senior Ben Gaebel (Deferiet/Carthage) made 12 saves, eight in the second half. Sophomore Matt Nelligan (Rowley, MA/Pingree School) and freshman Mike Cintineo (Honeoye Falls/Honeoye Falls-Lima) each scored three goals and senior Doug Lumb (Auburn) added two goals and two assists for Ithaca. Junior Dennis Butler (Pleasantville) recorded 17 saves. Ithaca held its only lead at 1-0 on a Lumb goal 3:24 into the game. Cortland scored six of the next seven goals, including two by Hyde, and led 6-2 with 11:14 left in the first half. The hosts, however, scored four straight goals in less than a three-minute span. Nelligan?s extra-man goal started the spurt, and Kyle Golden?s (Briarcliff Manor/Ossining) goal with 5:19 left before halftime tied the game at 6-6. Cortland answered with goals by Hyde and Heath to take an 8-6 lead, but Nelligan found the net with five seconds left in the half and Cintineo scored 1:59 into the third quarter to draw the Bombers into an 8-8 tie. Lambert gave the Red Dragons the lead for good with 8:56 left in the quarter, and Abbott scored with 4:32 remaining to push the lead to 10-8. Cortland then scored the first five goals of the fourth quarter, including three tallies in the first three minutes. Lambert connected off a Cheney Raymond (Camillus/West Genesee) feed just 12 seconds into the stanza, and Heath converted an Abbott pass just 36 seconds later.
