Wagner Rallies To Defeat Men's Lacrosse, 7-5

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The NJIT men's lacrosse team came out strong in their non-conference matchup against Wagner but could not hold on as the host Seahawks rallied to defeat the Highlanders, 7-4, Saturday afternoon at Hameline Field.

Gavyn Willson once again led the way for NJIT (0-5) with a pair of goals while Beck Gozdenovich, Gage Adams, and Owen Corry added a goal apiece. Collin Fogerty, Myles Hickey and Adams also chipped in an assist each.

Matthew Bowerman matched the game-high with a career-best-typing five ground balls while Lynch Raby also matched a career-high with three caused turnovers.

Billy Kroeger was nearly perfect from on faceoffs, going 8-for-9 on the afternoon and Liam Brown stopped 18 shots for his eighth career game with at least 18 saves.

1ST QUARTER

After a long feeling out process between the two teams over the first ten minutes, Willson pushed his season goal total to seven with a pair of goals at the 5:14 (unassisted) and 4:04 (from Adams; man-up) marks.
With four seconds remaining in the quarter, Beck Gozdenovich scored his first goal of the year on Myles Hickey's first collegiate assist.

2ND QUARTER

Wagner scored their first goal of the game with 13:19 to go in the second, converting on a long shot from past midfield.
The Seahawks tied the contest at 3-3 after netting a pair of goals within nine seconds of each other (6:28 to 6:19) and took their first lead with a goal with 3:19 left in the half

3RD QUARTER

NJIT ended the period still trailing by one goal after an even 1-1 quarter. Wagner extended their lead to 5-3 midway through the third (7:31) before Owen Corry trimmed the lead back to one with his third goal of the season (3:03)

4TH QUARTER

Wagner set the final margin with a pair of goals (9:15, 5:27).
