Hiram falls 25 - 7 to the College of Wooster

Hiram falls 25 - 7 to the College of Wooster

Hiram, Ohio - The Men's Lacrosse team could not stop the high powered offense of the College of Wooster. The game started off strong in the first quarter, battling back and forth, until the flood gates opened midway through the quarter. The Fighting Scots scored three unanswered goals before Hiram could respond with one. From there on, the trend continued as Wooster would score multiple goals before Hiram could answer back. The leading scorers for the Terriers included Nick Rollason with four goals, Greg Summers with two goals and Jonah Austin with one goal.

Shots on goal seemed to be a problem for the Terriers as Wooster doubled Hiram's shots on goal. In fact, for most of the game, Wooster even scored more goals than Hiram had total shots on goals. Turnovers also seemed to be an issue for Hiram, who had a total of 30, which was two times as much as Wooster's.

Despite the scoreboard, Head Coach Brian Jenkins was able to pull a large number of positives out of this game.

Jenkins said, "Nick had another monster game today. He's had 10 goals in the last two games... and even though it doesn't show up on the stats, Charley Haley probably won about 85 percent of his draws. [Wooster] is a pretty good team. They're in the top 40 and for Charley to be able to man handle that guy like he did at the faceoff was a tribute to him and his hard work".

Looking forward, Jenkins also said, "We have a tough stretch coming up in the next week and we will see how that works out".

Hiram is now 1-5 overall (1-3 at home and 0-3 on the road) and Wooster advances to 7-2 overall (2-1 at home and 4-1 on the road). Hiram with play another conference game against #11 ranked Ohio Wesleyen at Charles Henry Field at 2 on Saturday. Wooster will play another conference game versus Otterbein on Wednesday.
