MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. – The Bucknell men's lacrosse team edged Robert Morris, 14-12, on Saturday afternoon at Joe Walton Stadium.
The Bison (2-0, 0-0 PL) had five players register at least three points en route to their victory over the Colonials (0-2, 0-0 ASUN). In addition, while clinging to a one-strike lead, they held Robert Morris without a goal for the final 13:56 of the game.
For Bucknell, Connor Davis followed up his record six-goal debut with a team-best five-point performance (4g-1a). His fellow freshman, Cam Doolan, recorded his first three collegiate goals a week after registering five assists at Mercer.
Alston Tarry (2g-2a), Dutch Furlong (2g-1a) and Danny Striano (1g-2a) rounded out the group of Bison who notched at least three points, with Furlong netting what proved to be the game-winning goal with eight seconds remaining in the third quarter. Striano's younger brother, Richie, notched the insurance tally with 3:19 left in the fourth.
After Bucknell raced out to an early 5-1 lead, with Doolan completing his hat trick in the opening quarter, the Colonials chipped their deficit down to 6-5 by the second quarter's 13:12 mark, with their two second-quarter goals coming within 10 seconds of each other. The Bison responded with a three-goal run to build themselves a bigger cushion; they ultimately entered the intermission with a 10-7 advantage.
Robert Morris came out of the break by netting four of the third quarter's first five goals, which evened the score at 11-11. Davis and Furlong each found the back of the net in the final two minutes of the frame to give Bucknell back its lead, at 13-11.
For the Bison, Travis Talarico led the way in ground balls (5) and caused turnovers (2). Nick Crovatto and Conor McCusker again split time in the faceoff x, combining for 12 wins. Crovatto also netted his first career goal off of a faceoff win at the first quarter's 4:47 mark.
For the Colonials, Jake Boudreau (1g-5a) and Taggart Clark (5g) led the way offensively. James Leary tied Talarico for the game high with five ground balls and finished second to teammate Evan Hellmich (4) with three caused turnovers. Bo Columbus took all 30 faceoffs, winning 16.
In net, Robert Morris's Nate Randall made 12 saves while Bucknell's Max Nolan stopped eight shots and collected three ground balls.
The Colonials held advantages in shots (43-39), ground balls (25-22) and faceoffs (16-14) while the Bison led in shots on goal (26-20) and caused turnovers (9-8).
Bucknell next hosts St. John's for its home opener on Saturday, Feb. 19 at 12:30 p.m.
