Gordon College Men's Lacrosse traveled to Bristol, Rhode Island to take on the Hawks of Roger Williams University in Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) play. Although the Fighting Scots brought it within one at the half, the Hawks offense proved to be too much taking the 12-6 win over the Scots.
The Fighting Scots were paced on offense by
Austin Early and Jacob Hyrzan who had two goals a piece, while
Nate Distasio and
Tytus Moen also found the back of the net.
The Hawks were spearheaded by Jared Grier's (So./Quincy,Mass.) three goal performance, while teammates Tim Mullane (So./Hanover, Mass.), Jude Marzec (Jr./ West Islip, N.Y.), and Chris Bova (Sr./Ridgefield, Conn.) all found the back of the net twice. Mullane and Marzec also scooped up six ground balls each.
Next up for the Scots is a trip to Milton, Massachusetts on Saturday, April 6, to take on CCC opponent Curry College at 3 p.m.
