Center Valley, PA (March 24, 2012) – The DeSales University men's lacrosse team got off to a quick start, scoring the first three goals of the game, and held off a second-half rally from Marymount University in a 7-6 win over the Saints on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

The win moves the Bulldogs back to .500 with a 3-3 overall record, while the Saints fall to 3-5 overall with the loss.  MU out-shot DSU, 31-22 for the game and 18-8 in the second-half, but DeSales 10-of-17 face-offs for the game.  The Bulldogs also did a terrific job in extra-man opportunities, scoring on both opportunities offensively, and holding MU to just 1-for-5 on the defensive side of the ball.

Senior Brendan Guerrier scored just 24 seconds into the second-half to give DSU a 6-3 lead and freshman Nate Blevins gave the Bulldogs a much-needed two-goal cushion with just 4:21 left as DeSales held off a late rally from the Saints in the fourth quarter.

Guerrier led DSU with a goal, seven ground balls, and five caused turnovers in the win.  Junior Jarrod Wiedow led the way with two goals and one assist offensively and junior Ben Krocheski had two goals.  Blevins finished with one goal and one assist and junior Nicholas Freda tallied the last goal.

Junior Brennan Gmeiner finished with 10 face-offs win in 17 attempts and picked up four ground balls and freshman Jake Ross was terrific in goal, making 10 saves to earn the win.

The Bulldogs return to action Tuesday when they host Rosemont College in a non-conference game beginning at 4:00 pm.
