Men's lacrosse clinches Liberty League playoff spot with 6-4 win over Clarkson

Box Score

POTSDAM, NY - Union men's lacrosse clinched a spot in the Liberty League playoffs for the fourth straight season with a 6-4 win at Clarkson this afternoon at Hantz Turf Field.
 
Union, which can claim the Liberty League regular-season title, owns a 9-3 overall record and a 3-1 conference mark. The Dutchmen, who have won two straight, close out the regular season playing at Vassar on Wednesday and hosting Rensselaer next Saturday.
 
Union never trailed against the Knights and jumped out to a 3-1 lead after the first quarter. Freshman attack Rob Santangelo, senior midfielder Derek Mayer, and junior attack Ted McKenna scored to give Union the early lead. Clarkson was able to tie it up 3-3 at the half with a pair of second-quarter goals from junior Bryan Huff.
 
The Dutchmen regained the advantage in the third quarter as freshman attack Nate Greenberg and junior midfielder Ethan Meyer sandwiched goals around a score by Clarkson sophomore Jeff Sciera to give the visitors a 5-4 edge.
 
Union's leading scorer, Rob Santangelo, who opened the contest with the game's first goal, sealed the Dutchmen victory with his 18th goal of the season, scoring early in the final stanza to make it 6-4.
 
Huff and Santangelo shared the game-lead in goals with two apiece. Junior Eric Gollands also scored for Clarkson.
 
The Dutchmen outshot the Green and Gold 41-31 and held a slight edge in groundballs, 26-24.
 
Sophomore Ryan Cole posted nine saves for the Knights, while Sean Aaron made 15 stops for the Dutchmen. Senior Derek Witheford played a strong game on the Union defense with a team-high five groundballs and two caused turnovers.
