Grove City thunders past Westminster

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. -- Five Grove City College men's lacrosse players scored multiple goals Wednesday night to help the Wolverines capture a 20-5 victory at Westminster in Presidents' Athletic Conference action at UPMC Sports Complex. 

Freshman midfielder Mason Lyons (Lancaster, Pa./Manheim Township) paced the offensive attack by scoring a career-best four goals. Senior attack Mac Faircloth (Greensboro, N.C./Page), senior attack Stewart McClain (Lancaster, Pa./Lampeter-Strasburg) and freshman attack Owen Edkins (Liberty Township, Ohio/Lakota East) all scored three times while freshman midfielder Caden Ryan (Reading, Pa./Schuylkill Valley) fired in two goals.

Senior defender Sam Stevenson (Greenwood, Ind./Center Grove), junior midfielder Tyson Bui (Harleysville, Pa./Souderton), sophomore midfielder Ethan Binns (Saint John's, Fla./The Bolles School), freshman attack Jake Parker (Edgewater, Md./St. Mary's Annapolis) and freshman midfielder Tucker Saums (Greensboro, N.C./Northwest Guilford) also scored for Grove City.

Grove City trailed 2-0 midway through the first quarter but surged ahead as McClain scored three consecutive goals. Bui and junior attack Davis Schneider (Winfield, Ill./Wheaton Academy) assisted McClain's first two goals, which came in the first quarter. McClain's third goal came 4:05 into the second period after a second Bui assist. 

Lyons scored an unassisted goal, then Faircloth pumped in three consecutive goals to give Grove City a 7-3 halftime lead. Stevenson opened Grove City's six-goal barrage in the third quarter by scoring 40 seconds into the period as Faircloth provided the assist.

Lyons, Parker, Ryan, sophomore attack Tyler Blazek (Las Vegas, Nev./Bishop Gorman), junior defender Nate Clark (Oakwood, Ohio/Oakwood) and junior midfielder Josh McDermott (San Juan Capistrano, Calif./Santa Margarita) also recorded assists. 

Grove City won 24 of the 28 faceoffs. Sophomore Evan Gill (Irwin, Pa./Norwin) won 13 of 16 opportunities while senior Colton Lehberg (Rancho Santa Fe, Calif./Santa Fe Christian) won 11 of 12 faceoffs. Both men had seven ground balls. 

McDermott and sophomore defender Gabriel Mayer (Palm Harbor, Fla./Calvary Christian) both caused two turnovers. Westminster finished the game with 28 turnovers while Grove City had 20 turnovers.

Grove City outshot the Titans, 49-22. Senior goalie Tyler Gladstone (Marriottsville, Md./Marriotts Ridge) earned the victory by making six saves during the first three quarters. Junior Kyle Gill (Irwin, Pa./Norwin) played the final 15 minutes and made two saves. 

The Wolverines will visit conference foe Chatham at 1 p.m. Saturday.
