Men’s Lacrosse Stumbles at Montclair State

Montclair, N.J.- The Marywood University men's lacrosse team concluded its nonconference schedule with a 15-9 loss at Montclair State University Wednesday evening.

The Pacers (5-7) showed early sharpness, matching the Red Hawks goal-for-goal in a fast-paced first quarter that featured multiple momentum swings.

After falling behind 4-2 midway through the period, Marywood responded with a three-goal run, highlighted by two tallies from Ben Meighan, to take a 5-4 lead. Montclair State answered in the final minute to send the game into the second quarter tied at five.

The game turned in the second quarter as Montclair State began to generate sustained offensive pressure. Despite a tying goal from Meighan at 6-6, the Red Hawks closed the half on a 2-0 run to take an 8-6 advantage into the break.

Montclair State seized control in the third quarter, outscoring Marywood 6-1. Ryan Vierbuchen led the surge, scoring multiple times during the stretch as the Red Hawks built a commanding lead. Montclair State's offense was relentless, finishing with 48 shots compared to 29 for the Pacers.

Marywood attempted to rally in the fourth quarter with goals from Votra and Strobel, but the deficit proved too large to overcome.

Meighan paced the Pacers offensively, finishing with three goals and three assists for a six-point performance. Ricky Strobel added two goals, while Alexander Votra, Osten Grigas, Wil Pieters, and Sean Bonhag each found the back of the net.

At the faceoff, Luke Ament gave the Pacers an edge, winning 18 of 27 draws, while also collecting a game-high 13 ground balls. Marywood held a slight advantage in ground balls overall (39-37).
Goalkeeper Colin Trainor made 13 saves in the effort.

Vierbuchen led the Red Hawks with four goals and four assists, while Brian Kelly added six points on two goals and four assists.
