CASTLETON, Vt. - Plymouth State University got
goals from eight different players Tuesday afternoon en route to a
16-3 non-conference men's lacrosse victory over Castleton State
College, ending the Spartans' seven-game winning streak.
Plymouth State (8-5) held a 3-1 lead after the first period as
seniors Tony Aguiar (Northborough, Mass.) and
Adam Krinsky (Concord, N.H.) and sophomore
Brian Giroux (Wolfeboro Falls, N.H.) each scored
for the Panthers. Freshman Derek Riley (Randolph, Vt.) tallied
Castleton's lone first period goal.
The Panthers controlled play for much of the second period, with
sophomores Tim Hadley (New London, N.H.) and
Adam Rothbart (Portland, Maine) scoring twice each
before Castleton senior Brett Quillia (Hartford, Vt.) answered with
his 12th of the season. Hadley tacked on the fifth Panther goal of
the period with 15 seconds remaining to give Plymouth State an 8-2
halftime lead.
The second half saw Plymouth State pull away for good, out-scoring
the hosts 8-1 over the final 30 minutes of play. Giroux added two
more goals after the break, while freshman Andrew
Eriksen (Beverly, Mass.) and Teddy
Akriviellis (Dover, Mass.) also scored twice each
and Aguiar and sophomore Kyle Belanger
(Southington, Conn.) added one apiece.
Krinsky added five assists to his lone goal, giving him 15 goals
and 28 points on the season. His 43 points this spring give him 201
for his career, making him the sixth player in Plymouth State
history to achieve the 200-point milestone.
Sophomore Kirk Bolduc (Lewiston, Maine) rounded out the Castleton
scoring, as the Spartans fall to 10-5 on the season. Freshman
Christopher Wynne (Suffern, N.Y.) took the loss in the goal for
Castleton, allowing nine goals while stopping six shots. Junior
Michael Mamunes (Manchester, Conn.) took over and allowed seven
goals, and made four saves.
Plymouth State freshman Billy Morgan (Winchester,
Mass.) stopped five shots, all in the first
Period, to earn the win. Classmate Kevin Hayes
(Beverly, Mass.) played the final period and recorded two saves.
Castleton will wrap up its regular season on Thursday when the
Spartans host Green Mountain College at 4:00 pm. After 13
games on the road, Plymouth State finally plays its home opener on
Thursday at Panther Field against New England College at 4:00
p.m.
