Box Score LAFAYETTE HILL, Pa. (Mar. 6, 2016) - Behind a five-headed attack that proved to be too much for the opponents to handle, the fourteenth-ranked Molloy College men's lacrosse team earned its fourth consecutive victory of the 2016 campaign in silencing Chestnut Hill by a 14-9 margin on Sunday (Mar. 6) at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School in Lafayette Hill, Pa. The Lions now move to 4-0 on the season and 1-0 in East Coast Conference play, while the Griffins fall to 0-4 overall, losing their conference opener to drop to 0-1 in ECC competition.

The Griffins opened the game with the first marker as junior defender Daniel DePasquale (Livingston, N.J.) slid a first-quarter shot past Toomey; but the Lions roared back into action with six consecutive goals (two from Clark and Teresky, one from Camposa and Valenti). The hosts pulled back within two goals at 7-5 with 11 minutes and 30 seconds to play in the third quarter but Molloy ran off five unanswered markers to put the game firmly out of reach.

First face-off is set for 6 p.m. at John A. Darcy Field in Rockville Centre.
