History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n SCRANTON, Pa. \u2013 Playing for the second time in three days, the No. 12 Wesleyan men’s lacrosse team battled their way to a 13-10 win over Scranton on Tuesday evening in the first all-time meeting between the two sides. The Cardinals (3-1) are winners of three straight while Scranton (1-5) have lost four straight.
\n\u00a0
\nWesleyan set the tone from the start, scoring three unanswered in the first quarter with goals coming from three different Cardinals. Will Miller<\/a> ’26 scored the opener while Ben Burns<\/a> ’26 found the back of the net nearly seven minutes later, followed by a Gavin Lechner<\/a> ’27 goal on the next Wesleyan possession.
\n\u00a0
\nA flurry of goals late in the first quarter saw Scranton go on a 3-1 run, including a Myles McCutcheon goal with just five seconds showing, to make it 4-3 Wesleyan after the first quarter of play.
\n\u00a0
\nA low-scoring second quarter saw just three goals scored between the two sides, as Burns netted his second of the game to make it 5-3 Cardinals, but the Royals evened up the score at the half with two Quinn Carson goals.
\n\u00a0
\nNeeding a response, Wesleyan fired 18 shots in the third quarter alone, scoring five times to take a two-goal lead into the final quarter. Nolan Samson<\/a> ’27 scored on the opening possession and then the Cardinals went on a 3-0 run with Burns completing his hat trick before Matt Morrow<\/a> ’27 added another and Thomas Girimonti<\/a> ’28 scored to make it 9-6 Cardinals.
\n\u00a0
\nHolding a 10-8 lead entering the fourth, Burns’ fourth made it 11-8 then Morrow took a feed from Samson to score his second and Girimonti made it 13-9 Wesleyan with just 4:11 showing. Wesleyan held Scranton to just seven shots in the fourth quarter, as the Cardinals staved off a Scranton man-up opportunity with two minutes left to close out the 13-10 win.
\n\u00a0
\nWesleyan outshot Scranton 46-30 for the game while also holding commanding leads in ground balls (43-30) and face off wins (19-8).
\n\u00a0
\nBurns scored four goals to lead the Cardinals while Morrow (two goals, two assists) had his first career four-point game. Samson recorded his first career three-point game with one goal and two assists. Girimonti finished with two goals and one assist. Eight Caridnals scored at least once in the win.
\n\u00a0
\nJoe Hurton<\/a> ’27 led the Cardinal defense with two caused turnovers and two ground balls while he scored a goal for the second straight game. Peter Rossi<\/a> ’28 had three ground balls and one caused turnover while Charlie Hill<\/a> ’28 finished with two caused turnovers and one ground ball.
\n\u00a0
\nThe face off team of Jackson Tinari<\/a> ’26 (8-for-10), Jack Doherty<\/a> ’28 (6-for-7), and Jack Stanislaw<\/a> ’27 (5-for-10) helped give the Cardinals a commanding 19-8 edge in face offs for the game.

\nWesleyan heads back on the road this weekend for a Saturday tilt against Colby at Noon from Waterville.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
