Gordon College Men's Lacrosse opened their 2019 season up on the road, traveling to New England College where Tytus Moen lifted the Fighting Scots to a 10-6 victory notching win number one of the year behind a career day from Moen. 

Gordon was led by Moen's four goals as well as Nick Tozier who netted a pair of goals and dished out two assists. Tyler Pauls caused five turnovers, while scooping up seven ground balls.

For the Pilgrims, Charles Hacking (So./Canterbury, N.H.) scored half of his team's goals with three, and Austin Frankel (Sr./Peabody, Mass.) had 10 ground balls in the loss.

The Scots return to action on Wednesday, February 27 as they host Salem State for their home opener at 7 p.m. at the Brigham Athletic Complex.

How It Happened

• The Pilgrims got on the board first, with a goal from Hacking to open the game. Momentum switched back to Gordon as the Scots found the back of the net four straight times to lead 4-1. NEC cut the deficit in half after Connor Fries (Sr./Barnstable, Mass.) found teammate Reilly Parker (So./Laesboro, Mass.) to bring his squad within two. With just under three minutes remaining until the half, Matt Laurence put in a pass from Tozier, taking the 5-2 lead at half.
• Moen and Tozier each scored a goal within 30 seconds of each other to begin the third quarter, taking the 7-2 advantage early. 
• The home team battled back with a goal by Fries and Hacking's second goal of the contest cut the lead to three but Moen tossed in his third just 40 seconds later, making it 8-4 in favor of the blue and white.  
• Both squads added a pair of goals each in the final frame, with Gordon taking home the 10-6 victory.
