HEMPSTEAD, NY -- Tom Dooley scored three goals and Athan Iannucci and Tim Treubig each scored twice as the 15th-ranked Hofstra men's lacrosse team rolled past seventh-ranked Johns Hopkins, 11-6, Saturday afternoon at Shuart Stadium. The win is the first for Hofstra against Johns Hopkins since 1999 and improves the Pride to 2-1, while the Blue Jays slip to 2-2.
Hofstra wasted little time jumping on the Blue Jays as Treubig, Chris Unterstein and John Keysor all scored in the first nine minutes to give the Pride a 3-0 lead they would never relinquish. A Kevin Huntley goal with 3:01 remaining in the first quarter got the Blue Jays on the board, but Ryan Lucas scored with 1:27 remaining in the period on a 15-yard laser to build the lead back to 4-1.
Dooley and Treubig extended the lead to 6-1 with back-to-back goals in a span of less than a minute midway through the second quarter and a smothering Hofstra defense kept the Blue Jays off the board for the rest of the half. The Pride defense forced nine first-half turnovers and goalie Matt Southard was forced to make just two saves.
A Dooley goal midway through the third quarter made it 7-1 before Huntley and freshman Mark Bryan cut the deficit to 7-3 by early in the fourth quarter. The Blue Jays had several opportunities to cut further into the lead, but Dooley ignited a 4-0 run for the Pride that pushed the lead to 11-3 with just over three minutes remaining. Iannucci capped the run with back-to-back goals in a span of 70 seconds as the Pride secured their third all-time win against the Blue Jays.
Late goals by freshman Brian Christoper, Jamison Koesterer and Huntley accounted for the final scoring for the Blue Jays, who won 17-of-21 faceoffs, matched the Pride in shots (31-31) and held a slight advantage in ground balls (28-25). Junior Jesse Schwartzman allowed all 11 goals and made 10 saves before giving way to sophomore Graydon Locey late in the fourth quarter.
Johns Hopkins will return to action next Saturday at Homewood Field when the Blue Jays host Syracuse (1-2) at 1:00 pm. The Orange dropped a 10-8 decision to Georgetown at home on Friday night.
