Men's Lacrosse Wins Non-conference Game at Hood, 10-5

FREDERICK, Md. -- Susquehanna University's freshman attack Sean Ledwick (Weston, Conn./Weston) tallied a game-high five points to help visiting Susquehanna top Hood College, 10-5, in a non-conference men's lacrosse game at Thomas Athletic Field on April 28.

Ledwick netted a game-high-tying three goals and dished out a game-high two assists. He also scooped up a team-high seven ground balls. Ledwick's first goal came during a man-up advantage with 13 minutes, 5 seconds left in the second quarter. Freshman midfielder Tylere Fritts (Chatham, N.J./Chatham HS) assisted on the goal.

Susquehanna (8-7 overall) trailed Hood (6-11 overall), 2-1, after the first quarter but answered with three goals in the second period to gain a slim, 4-3 advantage going into halftime. The SU lead held through the third quarter, 6-5. A strong final 15 minutes allowed the Crusaders to run away with the game, netting four goals in the final period (three within a 2:32 span).

SU's sophomore midfielder Billy Spack (Arlington, Va./Yorktown) scored the first goal of the game, unassisted, just 39 seconds into the contest. Spack netted three goals in the game--one in the first period, another in the second and the third in the final quarter.

Sophomore midfielder Luke Delavan (Madison, N.J./Madison) registered two goals in the contest, one on a man-up opportunity with 12:30 left in the game. Teammate and sophomore attack Tim Pastore (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) assisted on the goal. That duo hooked up earlier in the second quarter for a goal but in reverse order (Pastore from Delavan). Pastore also picked up four ground balls in the game.

SU's sophomore attack Dustin Breakey (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley) recorded his team-leading 31st goal of the season on another man-up chance with just 49 seconds left in the game.

Junior defender Jimmy Warburton (Chatham, N.J./Chatham HS) scooped up two ground balls and also assisted on Ledwick's second goal with 9:09 left in the third quarter.

Crusaders junior midfielder Ryan Oakes (North Yarmouth, Maine/Cheverus) won a game-high-tying eight faceoffs.

Freshman Blake Middendorf (Wayne, Pa./Radnor) played the first 15 minutes of action and stopped five shots before being replaced by sophomore Jordan Daney (Wynnewood, Pa./Lower Merion). Daney guarded the net for the final 45 minutes and stopped five shots to earn his second win of the season. He also picked up six ground balls.

Susquehanna scored three times in six man-up chances and had 26 successful clears in 39 tries.
