Box Score FREDERICKSBURG, Va. - The top-ranked Salisbury
University men's lacrosse team pulled off another second half rally
to keep the various winning streaks intact. The Sea Gulls outscored
University of Mary Washington 7-2 in the second half to win 10-5 on
the road Wednesday in a Capital Athletic Conference contest.
SU sophomore Jake DeLillo (one assist) scored
two of his game-high three goals in the third quarter as his last
tally caused the third tie in the game at 5-5. Senior attackman
Greg Titus (one assist) gave the Sea Gulls their
first lead with 2:22 left in the third off an assist from sophomore
Mike Von Kamecke (two assists). Titus matched
DeLillo with three goals scored.
The Sea Gulls (12-0, 5-0 CAC) closed out the game on a 6-0 run
to win their 95 consecutive CAC game, including conference
postseason, 76-0 during the CAC regular season. Salisbury has won
its last 35 games since 2007 and 74 straight regular-season
contests since 2003.
Zach Krissoff made his first-ever start in goal
for the Sea Gulls as the junior made eight saves, seven in the
second half.
Mary Washington (5-5, 2-3 CAC) came out of the gates quick with
two quick scores to begin the game. Charlie White finished a feed
from Brent Fisk just two and a half minutes into the game. Fisk
tacked on an unassisted goal four minutes later to give the Eagles
the early 2-0 lead after the first quarter.
DeLillo got the Sea Gulls on the board early in the second as he
scored off an assist from Kylor Berkman (two
goals, two assists). UMW answered back two minutes later to
increase its lead to 3-1. That score stood until five minutes left
before the half when Stephen Krasco scored the
first of his two goals on the afternoon. Salisbury tied the game
right before the half when senior Matt Hickman
found Titus for the equalizer with 1:28 left.
The Eagles scored two of the first three goals to begin the
third quarter before Salisbury went on its 6-0 run to end the game.
