NEWARK, DE -- Towson University
senior Hunter Lochte scored a career-high six goals and
dished out an assist and the Tigers broke a tie with four
straight goals in a span of two minutes and 20 seconds in
the third quarter to post a 14-10 Colonial Athletic
Association men's lacrosse victory over host University of
Delaware Saturday night at Rullo Stadium.
Delaware, which led 6-5 at halftime and
still owned a share of the lead with 3:12 left in the third
quarter, lost its second straight game and fell to 4-4, 0-1
in CAA play. No. 17 ranked Towson snapped a two-game losing
streak and improved to 2-3, 2-0 CAA in downing the Blue Hens
for the third straight time.
Junior Ryan Metzbower (St.
Mary's/Severna Park, MD) scored a season-high three goals to
lead the Blue Hens while Matt Alrich (Calvert Hall/Timonium,
MD), Brad Downer (Annapolis/Annapolis, MD), and
Kurt Nordhoff (Mt. Hebron/Ellicott City, MD) each
scored twice. Alrich and Downer also dished out assists for
the Hens.
Lochte, who tied a Rullo Stadium record
with his six goals, scored twice in the first quarter and
tallied a goal with just 4:46 left in the first half to cut
the Delaware lead to 6-5. Lochte helped start the pivotal
4-0 run in the third quarter as he fed Brad Monaco on a goal
with 3:12 left to put the Tigers up for good at 9-8. Monaco
assisted on two other goals in the run.
Ryan Obloj added two goals and three
assists for the game and Kenny Lynch dished out two assists
for Towson, which outshot Delaware 53-38 and held a
commanding 19-9 advantage on faceoffs. Goalkeeper Reed
Sothoron posted 14 saves.
Delaware scored the final two goals of
the opening quarter as Xander Ritz fed Nordhoff and
Alrich for scores in the final 2:30 to give UD a 4-3 lead.
Delaware built the lead to 6-3 with 7:46 left in the first
half when Andrew Benazzi and Downer each scored for
the Hens. Towson's Obloj scored and then fed Lochte for a
score in the final 6:25 to cut the UD lead to 6-5 at
intermission.
Towson opened the second half with three
straight goals to take an 8-6 lead, but Metzbower and Alrich
answered for Delaware as the Hens tied the game at 8-8 with
5:27 remaining. Towson then started its key run just over
two minutes later to put the game away. Metzbower scored his
second goal with 9:32 left to cut the lead to 13-9, but the
Hens would never get closer.
Chris Collins posted 16 saves in
the nets for Delaware.
