Blue Hens Hurt by Penalties as Seawolves Score Five Man-Up Goals

 

Scott Evans netted a career-high four goals

STONY BROOK, NY -- Host Stony Brook University got four fourth-quarter goals from Kevin Pall and three more scores from Sean Farrell and ran away from a 3-3 halftime tie to post an 11-7 non-league men's lacrosse win over the University of Delaware Saturday afternoon at Seawolves Field.

The Blue Hens, who won just 4 of 22 faceoffs and were hurt by 13 penalties, extended their losing streak to eight games to fall to 2-9. Stony Brook, which was playing its final game at Seawolves Stadium before moving into a new facility next season, improved to 8-5.

Delaware, which will return home to face Denver next Saturday night at Rullo Stadium, was led by sophomore Scott Evans (St. Peter/Peterborough, Ontario) who scored a career-high four goals, his third multiple goal game of the season. Junior R.C. Reed (Boy's Latin/Timonium, MD) added a goal and an assist while Chris Bickley (Abington/Jenkintown, PA) and Andy Hipple (Moorestown/Moorestown, NJ) also scored goals.

Stony Brook, which took advantage of Delaware's season-high 13 penalties by scoring fiveextra man goals, four in the final quarter, broke away from a 3-3 tie by outscoring the Hens 4-2 in both the third and fourth quarter. Denis Scannell added two goals and a game-high three assists.

The Seawolves jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the first quarter but the Blue Hens quickly fought back and got goals from Bickley, Hipple, and Evans in the second quarter to knot the score at 3-3 leading into intermission.

An Evans goal four minutes into the third quarter tied the score again at 4-4 before Stony Brook got goals from Scannell and Farrell to go back up 6-4. Evans struck again for the Hens to cut the lead to 6-5 with 7:53 left in the third quarter, the closest UD would get the remainder of the game.

The Blue Hens cut the lead to two at 8-6 on an Evans goal with 11:12 remaining, but Stony Brook struck back with two man-up goals by Pall in a span of 47 seconds to put the game away. Pall scored another man-up goal with 3:55 left for some insurance, his team-high 42nd goal of the year.
