Final Home Game: Men's Lacrosse falls to Colorado College
IRVING, Texas – The University of Dallas men's lacrosse team dropped a 17-2 decision on Saturday morning versus Colorado College. The rescheduled 8:30 a.m. tilt concluded UD's home portion of the ledger.
The Tigers matched six goals in both quarters of the first half and maintained control throughout the majority of the contest.
Austin Davie began the scoring nearly a minute into the game to give Colorado College a one goal edge. The Crusaders netted an equalizer a few seconds later out after a faceoff violation gave them their first possession. Freshman Peter Early (San Antonio, Texas) scored an unassisted goal to create a brand new game.
Davie notched a hat trick with the next two goals in about a two minute span to propel CC in front for the remainder of regulation. The guests were kept in check for about three minutes, but in an exact one minute span from the 8:28 to 7:28 mark, did two more Tiger goals get counted. Harrison Raine, assisted from Aaron Maslow, and Chris Brower earned points on the pair of scoring plays.
