Farmingdale State 14, FDU-Florham 7
MADISON, N.J. | Trailing 4-3 just one minute into second period on Wednesday night, the Farmingdale State College men's lacrosse team responded with 11-consecutive goals on its way to a decisive 14-7 victory at Fairleigh Dickinson University-Florham.
The Rams (7-2) remain undefeated against Division III competition so far this spring, and kept the Devils (6-2) off the scoresheet for a span of 38:15 during the game-changing run.Â
The teams were tied 3-3 after one period of play, with seniors
Thomas Stock (Selden, N.Y.) and
Tyler Kollar (Bellport, N.Y.) and sophomore
Adam Giovinco (Syosset, N.Y.) picking up goals for FSC over the first 15 minutes of action. After FDU went ahead 53 seconds into the second quarter, Farmingdale State received scores from junior
Kamryn Gill (Riverhead, N.Y.) and Stock at the 12:30 and 6:32 marks, respectively, to start the decisive run and give the visitors a 5-4 halftime edge.
FSC scored all five goals of the third period, as Stock completed his hat trick at 9:19, before Kollar finished off his three-goal output with a man-down score at 9:31 of the fourth quarter. The Rams extended their lead to a 14-4 margin with 5:52 on the clock, when freshman defender
Logan Reese (West Islip, N.Y.) registered his first-collegiate goal in transition off a pass from Giovinco.
Stock passed out three assists to finish with a game-high six points, while Giovinco (g, 2a) and Gill (2g, a) tallied three points apiece. Adam's brother, senior
Andrew Giovinco (Syosset, N.Y.), as well as senior
Thomas Mai (Islip, N.Y.), both bagged two goals in the victory. Senior
Antonio Kaminskey (Lindenhurst, N.Y.) was instrumental in the possession game for the Rams, as he went 15-of-21 (.714) on faceoffs to go with a game-high ground balls, with senior goalkeeper
Dan Erler (Smithtown, N.Y.) making eight of his 12 saves in the opening half of play to record the victory in the FSC cage.
