Men's Lacrosse Falls in G-MAC Final

After winning the regular season Great Midwest Athletic Conference title, the Griffins advanced to the G-MAC Final on Saturday afternoon as they hosted Mercyhurst at DSG Field.

Mercyhurst held the Griffins off the board for the first 21:19 of the game and took a 4-0 lead in that stretch and never gave up the lead in defeating the Griffins 11-9 to capture the G-MAC title.  SHU ends their season with a 12-5 record while the Lakers improve to 14-2.  

Neither team found the back of the next in the first eight minutes of the first quarter but the Lakers scored three times in a minute twenty six span as they took a 3-0 lead over the Griffins.  They carried that lead into the second quarter.  

The Lakers scored just 33 seconds into the second quarter as they took a 4-0 lead.  Colin Socker got the Griffins on the board at the 8:41 mark of the second quarter as SHU cut the lead to 4-1.  Mercyhurst answered with a goal at the 5:41 mark but SHU got goals from Vincent Cogliandro and Carter Green before the half as they cut the lead to 5-3 at the break.  

Mercyhurst started the third quarter scoring 17 seconds apart, the second one at the 10:27 mark as they extended their lead to 7-3.  Blake Morrow and Jeremy Sforzo scored goals less than a minute apart as SHU trimmed the lead to 7-5 with 8:12 remaining.  The Lakers then scored the final three goals of the period as they extended their lead to 10-5 after three quarters. 

Nate Herbster scored twice in the first five minutes of the fourth quarter as the Griffins got back to within three at 10-7.  The Lakers got one of those goals back before Peyton Gensler and Kaden Granberg scored for SHU to cut the lead to 11-9 with 2:43 to play.  The Griffins were able to get one more possession but the Laker keeper made two saves as Mercyhurst was able to then run out the clock.  

The Griffins outshot the Lakers 42-35 in the contest.  They also forced 21 Laker turnovers while committing just nine.  The big advantage for the Lakers was an 18-4 advantage in faceoffs.  

Herbster led SHU with two goals.  Sforzo added a goal and two assists.  Josh Miller recorded 10 saves.
