Second-half surge powers No. 4 Men’s Lacrosse past Stockton, 17-12

GALLOWAY, N.J.  – A pair of four-goal runs in the second half propelled the fourth-ranked Salisbury University men's lacrosse team to a 17-12 win on Saturday against the upset-minded Stockton Ospreys in Coastal Lacrosse Conference (CLC) action.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

  • The Sea Gulls' offense exploded to start the second quarter with a 4-0 run. Brown started the run with a goal followed by three straight Ferrara goals pushing the Sea Gulls lead to 7-3 with 10 minutes to go in the first half.
