The Muhlenberg men's lacrosse team jumped out to a big lead but could not hold on and lost at DeSales, 10-9 in overtime.

The result spoiled a milestone night for graduate student Ethan Grossman, whose assist on the Mules' second goal gave him 200 career points. One of 14 active Division III players to hit the double-century mark, Grossman added three goals to extend his school record for the most career hat tricks (21).

Goals by junior Dominick Visintin (pictured above), Grossman and junior Jack Kraemer, plus a pair from junior James Dalimonte, staked the Mules (0-2) to a 5-1 lead just past the midway point of the first quarter.

But the offense went dry after that, going scoreless for the next 29 minutes as the Bulldogs (2-1) reeled off five straight goals to go ahead for the first time.

The lead changed hands four times after that during a tense second half. Muhlenberg trailed 8-7 midway through the fourth quarter, but back-to-back goals from Grossman 76 seconds apart made it 9-8 with 5:34 to play.

DeSales tied the score with 2:21 left in regulation. The Mules won the opening faceoff of overtime and had their first shot saved. Junior Max May made a pair of saves in the extra period, but the Bulldogs put in a rebound off the second one to send Muhlenberg to its fourth one-goal loss in the last two seasons.

May finished with 14 saves. Sophomore Matthew Regan picked up 5 ground balls, while senior Maxwell Seeber recorded 4 ground balls and forced 3 turnovers.

Freshman Andrew Sellitto scored his first career point, assisting sophomore Jack Quinn on a go-ahead goal in the third quarter.
