CARLISLE, Pa. - The 11th-ranked Dickinson men's lacrosse team allowed the first goal of the afternoon to the visitors from Kenyon College, but then rattled off eight straight en route to a 12-7 non-conference win over the Owls on Wednesday at Biddle Field.
First Quarter
- It took just over a minute for the guests to strike as David Chintala fired a shot past Rocco Bognet.
- Then, two minutes later Drew Stark connected with Landen Hyatt for the equalizer, before Chase Squires won the ensuing faceoff leading to an unassisted finish by Charlie Baughan.
- Offerings from Preston Boyd, Ben Monroe and Cullen Mulhern forced one stop out of Adam Hall, while at the other end Bognet turned aside Chintala as the period entered the final five minutes.
- That stop by Bognet resulted in the third goal for the Devils as Mulhern found Ramsey Huggins, prior to Huggins scoring again this time off a turnover caused by Ethan Ferrant (4-1).
Second Quarter
- An early stop for Bognet on Luke Riney, 21-seconds in set the stage for Stark to find Boyd for a shot that eluded Hall.Â
- A few minutes later after some pressure applied by the Owls, the Devils extended the margin to 6-1 when Boyd rippled the twine.
- After each keeper made a against Mulhern and Alex Haag respectively, the Red and White collected two more tallies prior to the end of the half with Mulhern and Hyatt (Luke Whalen assist) besting Hall giving the hosts an 8-1 halftime advantage.
Third Quarter
- As way the case in the first, Chintala needed less than two minutes to bag a goal. However, following two stops by Hall against Monroe and Stark, Dickinson did cash in again courtesy of Baughan (9-2).
- About three minutes after that the home side jumped into a 10-man ride coming out of a shot clock violation and all players matched up "man to man" the ball came to Hall who stepped into a shot just outside the crease which one-hopped into cage.
- Huggins and Chintala exchanged tallies about a minute apart to give Dickinson a 10-4 advantage with a little over two minutes to play.
- Off the ensuing faceoff, Hall shutdown Boyd and Bognet knocked away a chance from Chintala allowing Owen Binder make it 11-4.
Fourth Quarter
- After Hall denied Hyatt a minute in, chances for Gavin Gumucio, Tanner Lewis and Haag did not both Bognet. That gave the Devils the ability to strike again with Boyd finding Huggins for the goal (12-4).
- Dickinson continued to fire away at Hall forcing him to make three more stops against Mac Childs, Caleb Oliver and Baughan to keep the score the same.
- Kenyon closed the game with a three-goal run with strikes from Gavin Collins and Mike Kapral beating Bognet, while Kapral added one more against new keeper Jack Schmelzer who played the final three minutes setting the 12-7 result.
