(Carlisle, Pa.) – The Dickinson men's lacrosse team turned in a strong performance on Wednesday, posting a 12-7 win, over visiting #16-ranked Gettysburg College. The victory was even sweeter as it marked #-200 for head coach Dave Webster (Dickinson '88). Webster is in his 13^th season at the helm of his alma mater, and in the 23^rd year of his career.

Senior All-American Brian Cannon (Reisterstown, Md./Loyola Blakefield) led the way with a solid, five goal effort to pace the Red Devil attack while sophomore Nick Baxter (Boxford, Mass./Governor's) was a brick wall in the cage, stopping 16 shots on the day, including seven in the final quarter.

Cannon put Dickinson on the board, scoring at the 11:03 mark of the first period. Tyler White (Philadelphia, Pa./Penn Charter) finished an assist from Ace Sudah (Franklin Park, N.J./St. Joseph), on a fast break, to put the Devils in front, 2-0, with 9:33 on the clock.

Derek Ruebling scored the first of his three goals to put Gettysburg on the board, less than a minute later. Sophomore Chris Menard (South Hadley, Mass./South Hadley) ripped a shot into the back of the net for a 3-1 advantage, with 2:26 remaining in the first.

Robby Maddux tallied a goal and an assist to tie the game with 1:29 to play, but White answered in the final minute to put the Devils up, 4-3, at the end of the first period.

Martin Manilla scored, just over a minute into the second period to knot the game once again. Ruebling traded goals with Brian Gleason (Darien, Conn./Darien), but Cannon and Menard scored back-to-back goals to give Dickinson a 7-5 edge, heading into halftime.

Maddox capitalized on a man-up opportunity to cut the margin to one before Cannon and Menard responded to give the Devils a 9-6 lead with 9:30 remaining in the third. That would close out the scoring for the period.

Cannon tallied his fourth and fifth goals to open the fourth quarter. He tallied off an assist from Gleason at the 12:08 mark and scored unassisted with 3:31 remaining in the game.

Gleason found sophomore Rob Kendall (Sewickley, Pa./Sewickley Academy), with just over two minutes remaining, to stretch the lead to 12-6.

Ruebling closed out the scoring with a final tally at the 1:14 mark, for the final of 12-7.

Cannon led the way with his five tallies while Menard added a hat-trick as well. Gleason finished with a goal and two assists, while White struck twice on the day.

Baxter stopped six shots in the first and seven in the final quarter, making 16 saves on the day. Draper Donley (Lutherville, Md./St. Paul's School) and Youssef Gorgi (Providence, R.I./Moses Brown) each controlled three ground balls and did a solid job on clears. Michael Smith (Baltimore, Md./Loyola Blakefield) also played well in the defensive third.

Senior Carter Moore (Virginia Beach, Va./Norfolf Academy) controlled nine face-offs and six ground balls. Long pole Graham Parsons (Wilton, Conn./Wilton) caused three turnovers and controlled a pair of GBs.
