KINGS POINT, N.Y. (March 23, 2022) – The USMMA men's lacrosse team saw its fourth-quarter lead evaporate in a 10-9 overtime loss to visiting Vassar College on Wednesday night at Brooks Stadium. The defeat drops the Mariners' record to 3-3, while the Brewers improve to 5-3 in victory.
Game File
Merchant Marine held the visitors without a goal from midway through the second quarter all the way through until the beginning of the fourth. The Mariners built up a six-goal advantage during that time, leading 9-3 after three quarters.
The Brewers scored six-unanswered in the fourth quarter, however, including the game-tying goal with just one second remaining to force overtime. Vassar sophomore Dan Negron ended the game with 1:51 to play in the first extra session.
Junior
Carter Hall (Annapolis, Md.) and freshman
Michael Emerick (Damascus, Md.) both recorded three points on the night – Emerick on a hat-trick and Hall on two goals and an assist. Senior
Zach Hasbrouck (Greenvale, N.Y.) also found the back of the net twice over the 62-plus minutes, tying the game-high with three caused turnovers, and sophomore
Dom Mirack (Stevensville, Md.) led the squad with five groundballs. Junior goalie
Samuel Stephenson (Boca Raton, Fla.) made 10 saves in over 62 minutes of action.

Negron led all players in the game with six points (four goals and two assists), while sophomore Thomas Cameron won 12-of-16 faceoffs and tied for the game-high with junior James Nicholas with six groundballs.
