| The Game Story: | |||||
| NORTON, MA- Behind four goals from senior Taylor Jackson (Middlesex, VT/Union 32), the Wheaton College men's lacrosse team stood tied at five with nationally-ranked Western New England College late in the third quarter on Saturday before allowing the game's final five goals in a 10-5 loss at Mirrione Stadium during each team's Pilgrim League opener. The Lyons fell to 1-4-1 while WNEC, which is tied for 17th in the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) poll, is 5-1. Jackson scored Wheaton's first four goals on the afternoon, giving the Lyons their last lead with 10:44 remaining in the opening half after intercepting a pass on the defensive end, running the length of the field and burying his second goal for a 2-1 Wheaton advantage. However, the Golden Bears tallied at 6:21 and 2:34 to take a 3-2 lead into intermission. WNEC took a two-goal lead just 21 seconds into the third quarter when freshman defender Stephen Toomey (Northborough, MA/Algonquin Regional) scored after streaking in from the midfield. However, Jackson scored twice in a 1:13 span to knot the game at four with 6:35 to go. After the visitors retook the lead nine seconds later, Wheaton senior Ellis Reavey (Longmeadow, MA/Longmeadow) tallied with 4:07 left, but WNEC senior Joe Cassani (Barre, VT/Spaulding) netted the eventual game-winner at 2:43. The Golden Bears put the game away with four fourth-quarter goals. Wheaton sophomore Jeremy Beech (West Newbury, MA/Governor Dummer Academy) finished with 14 saves, as WNEC held a 50-20 advantage in shots, recording at least a dozen in each period. Cassani and juniors Adam Cherry (Westfield, MA/Westfield) and Zack Sondrini (Pittsfield, MA/Pittsfield) each finished with two goals for the Golden Bears, while sophomore Bryan Cofrin (Londonderry, NH/Pinkerton Academy) finished the afternoon with four assists. Sophomore Chris Body (Newtown, CT/Newtown) stopped six shots. Wheaton continues a three-game homestand against non-conference foe Plymouth State University on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. |
