United States Merchant Marine Academy

KINGS POINT, N.Y. (April 25, 2026) – The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy men's lacrosse team closed out the 2026 regular season with a 18-2 win up at Mount St. Mary on Saturday. The Mariners improve to 10-5 (6-1 Skyline) with the triumph, while the Knights close out the season with a 4-11 record (2-5 Skyline).
 
The victory also clinches the #1 seed in the upcoming Skyline Tournament for the Mariners, who finished with the same conference record as Farmingdale State and Maritime, but own the goal differential tiebreaker over those two teams. It's the first time since 2018 that USMMA is the top seed in the conference tourney.

Senior Owen Barcus (Annapolis, Md.) came into Saturday's contest needing just one point to reach the 200-career point plateau and wasted little time getting it, as he scored the very first goal of the game just 50 seconds into action.

Three other Mariners produced multi-point efforts, as freshman Dylan Sullivan (Warwick, N.Y.) had a goal and two helpers, senior Jack DeTommaso (Massapequa, N.Y.) tickled the twine twice and sophomore Brendan Ring (Philadelphia, Pa.) chipped in with a goal and an assist.
 
The Mariners won 14-of-23 face-offs, as sophomore Tucker Kuhn (Towson, Md.) led the way going 8-of-11 while also picking up a team-best five ground balls.
