Spot in the Patriot League Tournament?<\/p>\n

Secured.<\/p>\n

Controlling its own destiny, the Boston University Men’s Lacrosse team clinched a berth to the 2018 conference tournament by downing Patriot League foe Holy Cross 9-4 on Friday night in Worcester.<\/p>\n

The Terriers (7-7, 3-5 Patriot League) scored the game’s first seven goals, shutting out the Crusaders for just over one and a half quarters.<\/p>\n

Standout freshman Chris Gray<\/a>\u00a0continued his torrid rookie campaign, collecting a trifecta of goals to go with two assists to pace the Terriers. Gray set the Terriers single-season scoring record in the process. He now has 59 points on 24 goals and 35 assists, passing then-senior Cal Dearth’s record of 59 points set in 2017.<\/p>\n

Juniors Thomas Schmidt and James Burr added a pair of goals apiece. Senior Greg Farris scored a single tally and freshman Michael Doxie rounded out the scoring with his first collegiate goal.<\/p>\n

Sophomore goalkeeper Joe McSorley corralled 10 saves on 14 shots faced. The four goals against were a season low. In his first season as a starter, the Oak Grove, Maryland native has collected at least 10 saves in 11 of the Terriers 14 contests.<\/p>\n

The Crusaders (4-9, 2-6 Patriot League) will not appear in the six-team Patriot League Tournament field. Joining the Terriers in the tournament are Navy, Bucknell, Loyola and Lehigh and Colgate.<\/p>\n

BU will play as the sixth and final seed as Colgate holds the tiebreak thanks to a 16-9 win at Nickerson Field on March 10. They will face Bucknell in the opening round. The Terriers fell 16-9 on the road in the teams meeting this year.<\/p>\n
