BOX SCORE

BEREA, Ohio (April 1) - The Saint Vincent men's lacrosse team lost a nonconference match 14-3 at undefeated Baldwin Wallace University.

The host Yellow Jackets poured it on in the second quarter, scoring the first six goals of the quarter, four of which were man-up goals. Pensyl stopped the scoring run with his second goal of the evening, making it 10-2 BW at halftime.

SVC allowed two goals in the third quarter that helped BW strengthen its advantage to 12-2. The Yellow Jackets added another score before Brendon Masten scored a man-up goal off an assist from Anthony Hogeback with 6:49 left.

Baldwin Wallace scored one more goal to close the game with a 14-3 victory. Saint Vincent was outshot by a 43-18 margin in the loss. The Bearcats had a 14-6 advantage in face-offs but turnovers played a big factor, as SVC committed 33 compared to just 12 by the home team.
