The Keuka men’s lacrosse team lost its North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) semifinal game against the No. 2 seeded Mavericks of Medaille College on Saturday. The No. 3 Storm fell 12-10. Keuka defeated Medaille 17-4 in last season’s Tournament championship. The Storm finish with a 5-9 overall record while Medaille improves to 8-6.
The Mavericks put the pressure on the Storm right away by scoring four of the game’s first five goals. Keuka answered by tallying four of the next six goals to get back within one (6-5) at the half. The Mavericks added three goals in the third while holding the Storm to just one. Keuka netted four fourth period goals but the Mavericks stayed consistent with three more goals to win by two.
Keuka had three more shots (41-38) but Medaille dominated the face-offs (18-8). The Mavericks had 44 ground balls while the Storm picked up 37.
The Storm were led by its freshmen class as Chris Redington (Tully, N.Y./Tully) and Mark Butto (Rochester, N.Y./Schroeder) each tallied three goals a piece. Fellow rookie Anthony Jones (Syracuse, N.Y./Corcoran) had two goals and two assists.
