Men's lacrosse: Finishing with pride

On Sat., Apr. 18, the Bulldogs faced off against Harvard in their yearly grudge match. Despite Yale's best effort, however, the Crimson came out on top by a score of 5-2 in a defensive struggle. All season long, the team has been plagued by a lack of offensive firepower.

Brian Shure, BR '98, and Cody Johnson, DC '99 scored Yale's two goals. The team then hit the road on Wed., Apr. 22, traveling to Newark, Del. to face the Delaware Blue Hens.

Unfortunately, the Bulldogs fell to their opponent again, this time by a score of 9-3. The loss dropped their record to 3-9 (1-4 Ivy). Shure and Johnson scored for the Blue along with Brad Graw, SM '99. Goalie Joe Pilch, SM '99, made 11 saves for the Elis.

For the Bulldogs, it's been a matter of getting the offense going. The squad has scored more than ten goals only once this season--an 11-10 win over Rutgers on Sat., Apr. 4.

Next up for the Bulldogs is Pennsylvania on Sat., Apr. 25, at 1 p.m. at Soccer-Lacrosse Stadium. They host SUNY Stony Brook on Wed., Apr. 29 at 3 p.m to close out the season. The Elis hope to finish the campaign with a streak of wins.
