Box Score A four-goal run at the start of the fourth quarter quieted hopes of a Senior Day comeback win as the Muhlenberg men's lacrosse team fell to McDaniel, 14-8.

Austin Akner,
Conner Burdick,
Nick Farmer,
Pat Farrell,
Michael Heenan,
John Hetzel,

Freshman
Jake Solomon had a big day in the "X," winning 17 of 26 faceoffs against a McDaniel specialist who came in second in the Centennial Conference in faceoff wins. The 17 faceoff wins tied the school record for freshmen, and his 98 wins this season are the fourth-most in program history.
