Wooster Lacrosse Routed By Tufts 21-6

From the opening face-off, Tufts dominated Wooster on March 19 in Tampa, Fla., as the Jumbos bolted out to a 12-2 halftime lead and went on to win 21-6.

Things did not even go well for the Scots during the warm-up with Wooster's leader in the defensive backfield - senior Jason Godwin - going down with a sprained ankle, leaving a young and inexperienced group to try and defend Tufts' potent offense.

"The good thing is that Jason's injury is not serious and our young guys got some experience," said Wooster head coach John McKechnie. "I thought that the team played much better as the game wore on."

Offensively, four Scot players scored goals led by freshman Colin Hartnett's three tallies. Senior midfielder Matt Nirenberg contributed four points on one goal and two assists, while sophomore midfielder Brandon Mohr and freshman attack Ahren Olson each added one goal.

In goal, Wooster junior John Park was bombarded all game, but he managed to come up with 12 saves.
