Wilkes-Barre Twp., Pa. – A last-second equalizer and a game-winning goal set Marywood University back in a 11-10 overtime loss to King's College Wednesday in non-conference men's lacrosse.

After falling back down by four, the Pacers tallied four of the next five goals over a 20-minute span. Vaughan put Marywood within one (6-5) at the 5:03 mark of the third. The Monarchs put together last-second magic again when Gabe Vansuch added one to the scoreboard to raise the lead to two.

Marywood (2-5) opened the fourth in stride with goals from Eric Morin and Vaughan to tie the game at seven apiece within the first 2:09. Mitaronda twice responded to King's go-ahead goals with equalizers with the latter evening the game at 9-9 with 4:03 remaining.
