The Muhlenberg men's lacrosse team jumped on the Roos from SUNY Canton early and went on to a 19-5 win in a semifinal game of the ECAC Tournament.

The first postseason win in program history was also the school-record 11th win of the season for the Mules. They advance to face Stockton, a 19-6 victor against Kean, in Sunday's championship game.

Fourteen different players scored goals for Muhlenberg, led by junior Daniel Doreste (pictured above), who netted three for his first career hat trick. Sophomores Jack Colt and Scott Fayan and freshman Dominick DiStefano added two goals apiece.

Freshman Ethan Grossman finished with a goal and three assists to become the Mules' first member of the "30-30" club, extending his school-record season totals to 38 goals and 31 assists.

In addition to dishing out two assists, sophomore Frankie Feaster won 13 of 21 faceoffs and picked up seven ground balls to break to program's career record. He now has 239 ground balls, one more than the previous mark.

Muhlenberg (11-6) scored on four straight possessions in a 2:10 span of the first quarter, with Colt scoring two goals and senior Joey Hess and freshman Brandon Moyer netting one each. DiStefano's first goal made it 5-0 exactly eight minutes into the game.

Doreste's second goal, with 1.6 seconds left on the clock, capped the Mules' eight-goal first quarter. Freshman Sean Jansson made it 9-2 early in the second with his first career goal, and after Canton (11-6) got one back, Muhlenberg went on a 7-0 run to open up a 16-3 advantage after three quarters.

Senior Lance Gibson played the entire second half in goal and made nine saves while allowing only two goals.

The Mules narrowly missed the school record for goals in a quarter (9), goals in a half (14) and assists in a game (13), coming up one short in each.
