No. 18 Bucknell Downs Jacksonville in Carolina
from press release
WINSTON SALEM, N.C. - The JU men’s
lacrosse team dug itself an early hole and could never dig out in a
17-8 loss to No. 18 Bucknell.
The Dolphins gave up the game’s first seven goals, spanning
through the first 18 minutes, and pulled within four goals but
could never get any closer.
The Dolphins were led by freshman attackman TJ Kenary with four
goals and one assist while sophomore midfielder Jeremy Tissenbaum
scored twice for JU. Senior goalie Brad Hester played all 60
minutes and made 15 saves.
The Bison were led by strong performances from Charlie Streep
(4,3) and Austin Winter (4,2) while goalie Kyle Feeney picked up
the win, making seven saves.
“After starting slowly we battled hard but we ran into an
excellent team today,” said JU head coach Matt Kerwick.
“They deserved this win; they outhustled us and did a great
job riding us. We put forth a good effort today but they were great
today.”
After finding themselves in a 7-0 hole, the Dolphins scored their
first goal of the game when freshman Ryan Serville assisted
Tissenbaum at 8:49 in the second quarter. Scalzo scored two of his
goals in the second quarter while Tissenbaum also added a second
and Serville netted his only goal of the game.
JU brought the game to within four goals (9-5) with a goal early
in the second half on an unassisted goal from TJ Kenary but
Bucknell would score the game’s next five goals to pull away
for good.
The Dolphins could only score twice in the remainder of the game
as Scalzo and freshman Cameron Mann each scored on two man-up goals
in the fourth quarter.
