10:30 a.m., March 3, 2003--The University of Delaware men’s lacrosse team, which dropped to 1-2 with a loss to Rutgers University on Saturday, will face Mount St. Mary’s at noon, Wednesday, March 5, at Loyola’s Curley Field in Baltimore.
The Fightin’ Blue Hens will return home for a game against Manhattan College at 1 p.m., Sunday, March 9, at Rullo Stadium.
Against Rutgers, UD fell behind early as the Scarlet Knights scored six times on eight shots in the first period and went on to win 11-6 in a game played at the Rutgers Turf Field.
UD got two goals from Andy Hipple and a goal and assist from Xander Ritz. The Hens outshot Rutgers 36-32.
Delaware opened the scoring on a goal by Hipple 2 minutes and 35 seconds into the contest but was held scoreless until early in the second stanza. Rutgers scored each of the next six goals of the game, including three by Matthew Apel, to take a 6-1 lead.
Delaware’s Bob Meunier ended the streak with a goal two minutes into the second period, but the Scarlet Knights answered on a man-up goal and took a 7-2 lead into halftime.
The Hens once again enjoyed success early in a quarter as they opened up the third period with Ritz and Matt Alrich scoring consecutive goals in the first two minutes to cut the lead to 7-4. But that was as close as they would get as Rutgers answered with two goals of its own.
