| CHESTERTOWN, MD -- Freshman attackman Chris Read (Baltimore, MD/Boys Latin) scored four goals and junior goalie Kevin Thibadeau (Cheshire, CT/Avon Old Farms) made 16 saves as eighth-ranked host Washington College defeated visiting Haverford College, 8-5, in a Centennial Conference men's lacrosse game this afternoon at Kibler Field. The Shoremen improved to 7-3 overall and 5-1 in conference play with the win, while the Fords fell to 8-5 and 6-3. Read gave the Shoremen a 1-0 lead with 8:28 left in the first period, but Ben Reed tied things up for the Fords with 5:40 left in the period. Sophomore midfielder Mike Hughes (Pasadena, MD/Mount St. Joseph) and freshman midfielder Andrew Generazio (Springfield, VA/West Springfield/Bridgton, ME) fired in goals with 4:24 and 0:18 left in the first, respectively to give Washington a 3-1 advantage, but Max Tcheyan scored for Haverford with two seconds on the clock to cut the lead to 3-2. Haverford scored the only goal of the second quarter when Mike Distler fired in a shot off a feed from Shane Hafer with 5:19 remaining before halftime to tie the score at 3-3. Washington senior attackman Jon Spivey (Timonium, MD/Dulaney) scored the only goal of the third quarter off an assist from sophomore attackman Kevin Nolan (Clark, NJ/A.L. Johnson) with 5:48 remaining to put the Shoremen back in front, 4-3. Junior midfielder Ryan Morrison (Manhasset, NY/Manhasset/Salisbury School, CT) opened the fourth quarter scoring with 12:15 on the clock and Read scored his second goal of the game with 10:52 remaining to push the lead to 6-3. Haverford rallied as Matt Thorne-Fitzgerald scored with 9:40 left in the fourth and Reed added his second goal of the day with 8:24 to play, cutting the lead to 6-5. The Shoremen held the Fords scoreless the rest of the way, however, and Read added two insurance goals with 4:37 and 3:22 remaining, respectively, to provide the final margin. Thibadeau's 16-save performance gives him 38 saves against only 10 goals allowed in his last two games. K.C. Peterson made 13 saves for the Fords. Washington held a 34-28 advantage in shots in the game and a 33-27 edge in ground balls. Generazio scooped up a game-high seven ground balls for the Shoremen.
