Westminster (Utah) Runs Streak to Three
from press release
PORTLAND, Ore. - The Westminster men's lacrosse
team picked up a third consecutive win with a 15-8 decision over
No. 13 Southern Oregon on Sunday afternoon. No. 12
Westminster improves to 3-1 on the season with one game remaining
on this current road swing.
Westminster scored the first five goals of the game, including two
in a 1:06 stretch in the first quarter, and never looked
back. Southern Oregon would get as close as 5-3 midway
through the second quarter before the Griffins scored another five
consecutive goals to put the game out of reach.
Westminster controlled the faceoff game all afternoon, winning
19-of-23 opportunities. They also collected 25 ground balls
to just nine by the opponent. Shots were slightly even at
29-22 for Westminster, but 16 Griffin turnovers kept Southern
Oregon in the contest. The Griffins also scored on 3-of-4
extra-man opportunities.
Jacob Wayman led the Griffin attack with three goals and three
assists. He scored on each of his three shots and scored
twice in the first 16 minutes of the game. Josh Condas
contributed five points himself with two goals and three
assists. Jake Arthur, Andrew Gordon, and Dallin Hall each
scored two goals apiece. Joe Illya made 10 saves between the
pipes for his second win of the season.
Westminster completes this road swing on Tuesday, March 2 when they
face No. 9 Western Oregon in Monmouth, Oregon. That game will
begin at 1 p.m.
