MEADVILLE, Pa. -- Senior midfielder Brett Gladstone (Marriottsville, Md./Marriotts Ridge) became the first Grove City College men's lacrosse player to score 200 career goals while seven teammates joined Gladstone in the scoring column Saturday afternoon as the Wolverines captured a 15-6 road win over Allegheny in Presidents' Athletic Conference play at the Robertson Complex. The win gives Grove City (7-8, 6-0 PAC) the top seed in the season-ending conference tournament.

Gladstone scored the milestone goal 89 seconds into the third quarter, extending Grove City's lead to 8-4. Allegheny closed to within 8-6 with 14 minutes left but the Wolverines took command of the game by scoring seven unanswered goals. 

Junior midfielder Griffen Agawa (San Ramon, Calif./California) sparked the seven-goal run by scoring off Gladstone's assist with 13:32 remaining. Freshman attack Mac Faircloth (Greensboro, N.C./Page) pushed the lead to 10-6 with an unassisted goal at the 8:19 mark. One minute later, sophomore attack Matt Blythe (Mendon, N.Y./Honeoye Falls-Lima) scored a man-up goal after receiving a feed from junior midfielder Luke Jayne (Vero Beach, Fla./Saint Andrew's). 

Gladstone's back-to-back unassisted goals stretched Grove City's lead to 13-6. Freshman midfielder Boden Davidson (Scottsdale, Ariz./Scottsdale Christian) and Jayne added unassisted goals in a 47-second span to sew up the victory. 

Blythe led Grove City with five goals. Gladstone now has 202 career goals after his three-goal outing. Faircloth scored twice while sophomore attack Zachary Hougan (Springboro, Ohio/Springboro) and freshman attack Rigdon Greene (Marietta, Ga./Pope) each scored once. 

Jayne finished with a pair of assists. Agawa, Hougan and sophomore midfielder Trey Zabroski (Mountain Top, Pa./Crestwood) also chalked up assists. 

Freshman faceoff specialist Sean Mahoney (Fort Myers, Fla./Canterbury) won 9 of 16 faceoffs and led the Wolverines with five ground balls. Senior defender Bailey Decker (Howard, Pa./Bellefonte) and freshman defender Andrew Glasgow (Wooster, Ohio/Wooster) both recorded three ground balls. 

Allegheny held a 36-35 edge in total shots. Grove City put 21 shots on goal while Allegheny had 16 shots on goal. The Wolverines turned over the ball 20 times and Allegheny committed 16 turnovers. 

Senior Jack Petit (Pensacola, Fla./West Florida H.S. of Advanced Technology) earned the win in goal by stopping seven shots in the first half. Junior Danny Stone (Chantilly, Va./Flint Hill) made three saves in 30 minutes of second-half action. 

Grove City will have home-field advantage in the four-team conference tournament May 3-6. First, the Wolverines will conclude the regular season Wednesday at 6 p.m. by hosting conference foe Bethany at Robert E. Thorn Field.
