Men's Lacrosse Bows Down to Second-Seeded Griffins in CSAC Semi

Gwynedd Valley, Pa. - The Marywood University men's lacrosse season came to an end on Saturday in a 9-3 loss to second-seeded Gwynedd Mercy University in the Colonial States Athletic Conference semifinal. The Griffins advance to face Cabrini University, winners of the past 17 conference titles.

Gwynedd Mercy came back from a 3-2 deficit to score the final seven goals of the game. The Griffins held Marywood without a goal during the duration of the second half.

Marywood (8-8) took a 3-2 lead when Matt Casto scored on an unassisted play with 12:26 of the second period. The Pacers held onto that lead until the Griffins' Dominic Moscariello scored twice in a 34-second span just before the half's expiration.

Moscariello had a man-up goal with 37 seconds remaining to even the score at three apiece. He then added the game-winning goal with three seconds left from Jacob Snavely.

Zach Vaughan scored the first two goals, along with two caused turnovers, for the Pacers. Casto had a hand in each of the Marywood scores with a goal and two assists, in addition to three ground balls.

Ryan Matthews finished with four ground balls and a caused turnover on the defensive end.

Vinny Biancardi returned to goal for his final game in forest green and gold with eight saves. Riley Litman won six faceoff chances to finish his career with a record-best 596 faceoff wins. He ranks 11th among active Division III faceoff specialists.

Gwynedd Mercy (10-3) outshot Marywood by a 32-20 margin. The Pacers had a 20-17 advantage in ground balls.

Ryan Simpson finished with a hat trick and four ground balls for the Griffins.
