Box Score
WATERVILLE, Maine – The Endicott men’s lacrosse team dropped its third straight game as the Gulls were edged by Colby College on Tuesday evening in Waterville, Maine. Three Mule freshmen helped the hosts score four straight goals to break a 5-5 tie, pacing Colby to the non-conference victory.
Endicott (1-3) had tied the game at 5-5 with 3:52 left in the third quarter after trailing 5-3. John Jennings (Danvers, Mass.) scored his first collegiate goal with 50 seconds left in the period for what proved to be the game-winning goal. Jennings then tallied on the man-up off a feed from another rookie--- Greg McKillop (Washington, D.C.) --- with just five seconds remaining in the period for a 7-5 margin.
The Mules (1-1) added two important goals in the opening 3:27 of the fourth frame. Ian Deveau (Portsmouth, R.I.) scored his first collegiate goal on a man-up with another assist from McKillop with just 22 seconds gone in the period. Derrik Flahive (Littleton, Colo.) put in his first goal in a Colby uniform with 11:33 to play for a 9-5 margin.
The Gulls did battle back when Brian Vincent (Norwalk, Conn.) scored with 7:08 to play from \#Jack Curtis\# (Chelmsford, Mass.). Endicott added one more goal with just nine seconds to play from \#Connor Prescott\# (Norwalk, Conn.).
Junior Craig Bunker did not have a point on the night, but his role was crucial again for the Mules. Bunker was 16-for-18 in face-offs and picked up 11 groundballs to help Colby to numerous key possessions. Bunker has 299 career face-off wins in just his third season.
McKillop also had one goal to go along with his two assists. Whit McCarthy (Darien, Conn.), Stew Brown (Wilton, Conn.), Alex Boches (Beverly, Mass.), and Mark Squicciarino (Titusville, N.J.) also had Colby goals.
\#Jonathan Prentice\# (Chelmsford, Mass.) led Endicott with a pair of goals. Curtis had one goal and one assist.
Thomas Gianakos (Simsbury, Conn.) had 11 saves in net for the Mules, while \#Eric Hagarty\# (Sudbury, Mass.) had nine stops for the Gulls.
Endicott looks to halt its three-game skid on Saturday when the Blue and Green travel to Southern New Hampshire University to face TCCC foe New England College. Game time is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
