How It Happened
ANNVILLE, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley men's lacrosse team dropped a 9-8 contest to Marymount (Va.) in a back-and-forth contest on Saturday afternoon. The Saints closed the game scoring three unanswered man-up goals in a span of 90 seconds to rally for the win over the Dutchmen. LVC falls to 1-4 on the season while the Saints are now 1-5.
 
LVC grabbed the early lead after the first quarter by a 3-2 mark. With the game tied 1-1, Alex Kiviniemi and Trevor Holak each found the back of the net, just 64 seconds apart, to grab a quick 3-1 lead. Marymount would score late in the period to pull within one. Each team would net a pair of goals in the second quarter as the Dutchmen carried a 5-4 lead into the locker room at the half.
 
The second half saw the physicality ramp up as each team received five penalties in the final 30 minutes of action. After a Saints goal to start the half, LVC would regain the lead by taking advantage of one of those penalties when Josh Croyle scored a man-up goal at the 9:25 mark of the third to give LVC the lead back at 6-5. Later in the third, Marymount would tie it back up 6-6 before Kyle Golden and Alex Kiviniemi each scored for the Dutchmen, Kiviniemi's being a man-up strike, would put LVC ahead 8-6 headed into the final period.
