The Game Story:
SALEM, VA--Lynchburg College freshman Ryan Cranston scored with 41 seconds left on the clock, giving the Hornets an 11-10 win over host Roanoke in the 2005 Old Dominion Athletic Conference men's lacrosse championship game. With the win, the Hornets improve to 12-4 on the season and receive the ODAC's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III national tournament. The Maroons fall to 13-2 with the loss, have their nine-game winning streak snapped, and will now await to see if they get one of the two at-large bids to the tournament. The Maroons trailed 8-7 heading into the final period of play, and fell behind 9-7 on a Ryan Quick extra-man goal to open the fourth. The Maroons, however, responded with three consecutive goals, two from sophomore Jon Mason, to take a 10-9 lead. Matt Duke gave the hosts the lead with an unassisted goal with 8:07 to play. The Hornets answered back on an AJ Tinklepaugh score with 4:47 left to even things at 10. Both teams traded possessions over the next four minutes. Lynchburg got the last possession and on it, Cranston took a pass from Brian Kemper and stepped into a 15-yard shot that just got past Roanoke keeper Matt Madalon. The Maroons won the ensuing face-off, but were unable to get a good look at the goal. Lynchburg then turned the ball over with 11 seconds left in the game, setting up a Chris Keating last-chance shot, a shot that was blocked by an LC defender as time expired. The Maroons opened up the scoring in the game, an unassisted tally from Mason with 11:23 left. Billy McCulloch scored a transition goal to tie the score at one, but the Maroons led after the first 15 minutes, 2-1. The Hornets outscored the Maroons 5-3 in the second quarter to take a 6-5 lead at the break. Tinklepaugh opened the second with two consecutive unassisted goals to even the score at three. Keating scored on a Jon Mason assist, but the Hornets fired back on goals from Johnny Black, a man-up score, and another McCulloch goal to take command 5-4. Duke tied the score at five for RC, but Tinklepaugh scored his third unassisted goal of the period, that with just 2.7 seconds left, to give LC the 6-5 lead at the break. The Hornets pushed their lead out to 8-5 in the opening moments of the third period on Quick and Brian McCulloch scores. Mason brought the Maroons to within one goal with his second and third scores of the game, setting up the dramatic fourth quarter action. Garrett Curran made 12 saves in the game for the Hornets, and in doing so was one of four Lynchburg players named to the All-Tournament team. He was joined by teammates AJ Tinklepaugh, Ryan Cranston, and Chad Clark. Roanoke's members of the team were Jon Mason, Chris Keating and Matt Madalon. Semifinalist Hampden-Sydney was represented by Ryan Fassnacht and John Pritzlaff, while W&L had Charlie McCombs and Jim Ryan named to the squad.
