When the first four-year graduating class of the Boston University Men’s Lacrosse team departed this past May, it would have been understandable for the Terriers to take some time to adjust to a revamped roster.<\/p>\n
Instead, BU looks to be a major threat in the Patriot League. The Terriers (2-1) ousted Dartmouth College (1-1) 10-4 on Tuesday night at Nickerson Field.<\/p>\n
“I was really happy with coming out, we were almost perfect in the first half,” said Boston University Men’s Lacrosse Head Coach Ryan Polley.<\/p>\n
Sophomore netminder Joe McSorley looked like a seasoned veteran in the third game of the 2018 slate. After struggling at times against Providence and Ohio State, the first-year starter amassed 11 saves in a career-best performance.<\/p>\n
McSorley has stepped in to fill the void left by 2017 Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Year Christian Carson-Banister who was one of 17 graduating seniors last May. The Forest Hill, Maryland native appears more comfortable with every save he makes.<\/p>\n
“Certainly Joe was excellent,” Polley said. “He made all the saves that we needed him to make and then he made a couple spectacular ones.”<\/p>\n
Freshman Chris Gray has impressed, earning three goals and a pair of assists in Tuesday’s win and he leads the Terriers in points (12), assists (6) and is second on the team in goals (6).<\/p>\n
Junior James Burr and senior Jack Wilson corralled two goals apiece on Tuesday night and seniors Hayden Ruiz, Ryan Hilburn and junior Brendan Homire each added a goal.<\/p>\n
After Wilson’s pair, Dartmouth freshman Matt Paul scored with 4:19 left in the first quarter. From there, BU blitzed a 7-0 run extending to 8:07 left in regulation to put the game out of reach.<\/p>\n
“We kinda kept at it and got the goals that we needed to in the fourth quarter,” Polley said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
