ROCHESTER, NY -- Senior attack Pete Gross (Larchmont/Salisbury) scored at 3:23 of overtime to lift Union College to a 12-11 victory over the Rochester Institute of Technology in men's lacrosse action Saturday at Turf Field.

The Dutchmen improved to 2-2 on the season while the Tigers fell to 0-2. Both of RIT's losses have come in overtime.

Dan Myerow (Sudbury, MA/Lincoln Sudbury) scored five goals and added an assist for the Dutchmen, while Gross had two tallies and four assists for Union. Bill Condon (West Hartford, CT/Conard) also scored two goals for the guests, while the Dutchmen had single tallies from Bryan Bendjy (Ronkonkoma/Salisbury), Greg Scott (Niskayuna/Niskayuna) and Ben Birnbaum (Brookline, MA/Hyde).

Condon gave the Dutchmen an 11-9 lead at 9:16 of the fourth, but RIT scored twice in the final 4:24, as David Thering tied it up with 1:26 left in regulation for RIT.

RIT killed off a one-minute penalty in overtime and cleared the ball. Thering had a shot blocked in the overtime, leading to a clearing situation for Union. The Dutchmen cleared successfully and got it to Gross, who drove to the cage and beat RIT goalie John Foley for the game-winning tally.
