(Gettysburg, Pa.) – The #6-ranked Dickinson men's lacrosse team had a tough start on Wednesday but put together a remarkable comeback at Gettysburg. The Red Devils erased a 10-3 deficit to tie the game before the Bullets escaped with an 11-10 win.

The Bullets continued to control play, however, running the score to 6-1 at the end of the first quarter. Gettysburg killed off a penalty at the end of the first and capitalized on an extra-man opportunity at the 10-minute mark of the second for a 7-1 advantage.

Gettysburg struck again, less than a minute later for an 8-1 lead. The Red Devils answered with back-to-back goals as sophomore Dylan Maher (Ridgefield, Conn./Ridgefield) scored on a pair of man-up chances, the second coming off an assist from John Lockwood (Bloomfield Hills, Mich./Brother Rice) with just 1:52 remaining in the half.

The Red Devils came out of halftime with a strong third quarter. Fumai fed Blake Gray to start things off before Dickinson came alive, scoring three straight goals to cut the deficit to 10-6, with just over three minutes to play in the period.

Carney scored off an assist from Nick Goles (Monkton, Md./Loyola Blakefield) before Maher and first-year Steve Ganelin (Carlsbad, Calif./Carlsbad) went to work to pull the Devils within three. Ganelin put one away before two straight tallies from Maher.

Maher ripped a shot into the back of the net, finishing an assist from Ganelin with 1:15 on the clock, making the score 10-7, at the end of the quarter.

The Red Devils continued to make things interesting as Maher scored his fifth goal on another man-up opportunity to cut the lead to 10-8. Maher then returned the favor, feeding Ganelin as the shot clock was winding down to make it a one-goal game with 7:09 remaining in regulation.

Maher would come through again, tying the game with 3:12 left to play. Tommy Heller would answer for the Bullets, netting an unassisted goal with just 1:32 on the clock.

Brodie Phillips (Charlottesville, Va./St. Anne's Belfield) controlled the ensuing face-off to give the Devils possession. The Devils produced three final shots but could not net the equalizer as Gettysburg held on, 11-10.

Maher finished with six goals and an assist while Carney and Ganelin each found the net twice. Andy Grabis (Chestertown, Md./St. Andrew's) caused a pair of turnovers and controlled two ground balls while Nate Usich (Avon, Conn./Avon Old Farms) and Patrick Finneran (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City) combined for three caused turnovers and four GBs.

Junior goaltender Andrew Jones (Odenton, Md./Arundel) made eight saves on the day. Austin Hurdle (Cockeysville, Md./Loyola Blakefield) won 8-of-13 face-offs.
