No. 1 Men’s Lacrosse steamrolls into national quarterfinals, 18-7 over No. 9 Swarthmore

SALISBURY, Md. – The top-ranked Salisbury University men's lacrosse team pushed full steam ahead into the national quarterfinals with an 18-7 win over the ninth-ranked Swarthmore Garnet in the third round of the 2024 NCAA Division III Tournament on Sunday evening at Sea Gull Stadium.
 
The Sea Gulls will now advance to the national quarterfinals to face the 16th-ranked Washington & Lee Generals on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. inside Sea Gull Stadium.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Brice Bromwell struck twice in the game's first two minutes with a pair of snipes between the legs of Garnet goalie Drew Tyson. Luke Nestor and Chris Wong then added a tally apiece to put the Sea Gulls up 4-0 at the 8:48 mark and force Swarthmore to take an early timeout.
  • The timeout did nothing to stem the tide as SU netted five more in a row to take a 9-0 lead after the first quarter. Jack Dowd scored three of the five for a quick hat trick.
  • Jude Brown and Charlie White found the back of the onion back early in the second quarter to make it 11 straight before Swarthmore finally got on the board. Michael Hardiman netted a man-up goal and Rex Mabbs followed with another moments later to move the Garnet within 11-2 at the 5:20 mark.
  • Wong halted the Swarthmore advance with another marker and the Sea Gulls eventually took a 13-4 lead into the break.
  • Bromwell converted a circus over-the-shoulder goal to open the Sea Gull attack in the third quarter. SU scored the first three in the period and held a 16-5 advantage heading into the fourth.
  • Ryder Matson and Jackson Brosgol each punched one home for Swarthmore to open the final quarter, but Ty Keaton got both of those goals back within the span of a minute to push the Salisbury lead back to 18-7, and the Sea Gulls ran down the clock from there to finish with an 11-goal victory.
SALISBURY GAME NOTES
  • Jude Brown tallied six points on trios of goals and assists in the win. The graduate attacker made history with an assist to Chris Wong for the second straight night, surpassing his former teammate Cross Ferrara to take second all-time in Division III in career points (475).
  • Brice Bromwell fired a game-high five goals and added one helper to pace the scorers.
  • Jack Dowd and Chris Wong each recorded hat-tricks in the triumph.
  • Ty Keaton tallied three points, scoring twice and adding an assist.
  • Blake Malamphy finished 12-for-24 at the dot, winning eight ground balls in the process. Mackenzie Moreland claimed three of his five attempts in relief.
  • John DeFazio headlined a dominant defensive showing for Salisbury, tying Malamphy with a team-high eight ground balls while causing three Garnet gaffs and adding his sixth helper of the campaign.
  • Reagan McNemar collected four ground balls and forced one turnover.
  • Charlie White and Simba Makawa each chased down three ground balls.
  • Nicholas Ransom improved to 41-0 in his collegiate career, making six saves across just over 52 minutes between the pipes. Matty Back closed the final 7:41 of action and made one save.
