WASHINGTON – Georgetown University's men's lacrosse team won its fourth-straight game with a 17-15 victory over visiting Lehigh on Saturday afternoon. The No. 17/16 Hoyas improve to 4-3 on the year while the Mountain Hawks fall to 5-3.
 
Hoya Highlights

• Nine different Hoyas found the back of the cage, led by Tucker Dordevic with six goals. Patrick Crogan added three for his first career hat trick and James Reilly chipped in a pair.
• Aidan Carroll and Declan McDermott both posted a goal and an assist.
• Graham Bundy Jr., Brian Minicus, Wallace Halpert and Dylan Hess each scored lone goals. TJ Haley paced the Hoyas with three assists while Will Bowen added another.
• Reilly won 15 of 32 faceoffs and collected 15 ground balls in a battle with fellow All-American Mike Sisselberger.
• Defensively, the Hoyas were credited with 14 caused turnovers. Hess had three while Halpert, James Donaldson, Will Tominovich and Jacob Kelly each had two. Kelly and Tominovich's second caused turnovers sealed the win for the Hoyas in the final minutes of the game.
• In goal, Michael Scharfenberger earned the win to improve to 4-0 on the season and 7-0 in his career on the Hilltop. He collected 11 saves to go with six ground balls and a caused turnover.

How it Happened

• Georgetown struck first on the opening possession with the first of Dordevic's six goals. The Mountain Hawks would respond with three-straight before another Dordevic goal at the 3:53 mark made it a 3-2 Lehigh lead after the first.
• The Hoyas tied things up early in the second to spark a high-scoring, back-and-forth second quarter. Both teams combined for 15 goals in the frame with the Blue & Gray scoring the final pair in the last two minutes to force a 10-10 tie going into halftime.
• Coming out of the break, the Hoyas took advantage of a non-releasable penalty for two quick scores from Minicus and Halpert in the opening minute of the second half. Dordevic would post a hat trick in the third quarter alone to push the Hoya lead to 15-12 going into the final stanza.
• Goals from Bundy and Crogan gave the Hoyas their largest lead of the game at 17-12 with just over 10 minutes to play. Lehigh would score three goals in a 1:55 span to pull within a pair at 17-15 with 4:50 remaining but couldn't get any closer thanks to Georgetown's strong defensive stand down the stretch.
