Lacrosse Falls to Fairfield in Overtime, 10-9
3/15/2019 8:02 PM | Lacrosse
FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The Utah lacrosse team played its first overtime game of the season on Friday evening, falling 10-9 to Fairfield in its second game of the week.
The Utes (4-5) led by as many as three goals in the game. Tied 7-7 after Fairfield scored an early fourth-quarter goal, the teams traded goals over the fourth quarter. With 45 seconds remaining, the Utes survived an extra man opportunity after a penalty was called on a late shot by the Stags that caromed off the pipe. Liam Donnelly made a save with 11 seconds left to help push the game to overtime.
The Utes had the ball to begin overtime but couldn't get a shot off, committing a shot clock violation before Fairfield scored on its end of the field for the overtime win.
Jimmy Perkins and Jake Cantlon each had two goals and an assist while Aaron Fjeldsted also had three points, his coming on a goal and two assists. James Sexton scored two goals while Josh Stout and Sam Cambere both added goals for the Utes. Branden Wilson also had an assist. Donnelly had 16 saves in goal, one off his career high. Seth Neeleman led Utah with four ground balls while Perkins, Nick Hapney and Reuben Santana each caused two turnovers.
"I'm proud of our effort as always, they made one or two more plays than we did and that's what the difference was," head coach Brian Holman said. "Credit to Fairfield. There were moments I thought we had them and we just missed little opportunities at the end that may have made the difference but sometimes that's the way the ball bounces. We have to be more consistent in learning how to make those plays. We have to put this one in the rearview mirror, we'll head to UMass and be ready for them on Sunday. We look forward to the challenge."
Fairfield scored the first goal of the game before Fjeldsted, Sexton and Perkins scored the next three goals to give Utah a 3-1 lead after the first period. The Utes outscored Fairfield 2-1 in the second period with goals from Perkins and Cambere to lead 5-2 at halftime.
It took over six minutes after the break before Fairfield scored two quick goals to cut Utah's lead to one, 5-4. The Utes scored the next two, goals from Sexton and Cantlon, to push the lead back up to three, 7-4, with 2:47 left in the third quarter before Fairfield tallied three straight goals to tie the game at 7-7 and eventually lead to overtime.
Utah continues its spring break trip on Sunday against UMass at Noon ET/10 a.m. MT.
