Men's Lacrosse Defeats Rollins In Double Overtime

Box Score The Lindenwood men's lacrosse team finished its Florida trip with a thrilling 16-15 double-overtime victory over Rollins on Sunday afternoon in Winter Park, Fla.

After a scoreless first overtime, Rollins won the opening faceoff in the second extra period. Graeme Hossack forced a turnover and picked up the groundball to give Lindenwood the possession. Just 12 seconds into the period, John Pettis then scored the game-winning goal for the Lions.

The sudden-victory goal helped Lindenwood avoid another fourth-quarter setback. The Lions built a comfortable 8-3 lead after one half and led 13-8 early in the final quarter. The Tars responded though by outscoring Lindenwood 7-2 for the rest of regulation, including two goals in the final minute of play to force overtime.

Rollins outshot Lindenwood 48-37 in the game, including a 33-16 mark in the third and fourth periods. The Lions won though thanks to their goalkeeping as Dan Ashlock made 17 saves and had a .531 save percentage, compared to eight saves and a .333 save percentage for the Rollins goalie.

Greg Cameron led Lindenwood's offense with three goals and three assists, and Matt Schenk had a team-high four goals. Carter McCracken finished with one goal and three assists and Graeme Hossack had a pair of goals.
