Utah Lacrosse Wins ASUN Championship With 11-9 Victory Over Air Force
5/7/2023 2:09 PM | Lacrosse
TOWNSHIP, Pa. – The No. 18 University of Utah Lacrosse team claimed its first ASUN Championship today with an 11-9 victory over Air Force, earning its first-ever automatic bid to the 2023 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championships.
Senior Cole Brams earned Tournament MVP for his outstanding performances this weekend with Carson Moyer, Samuel Cambere, Koa Todd and Tyler Bradbury joining Brams on the All-Tournament team.
In what was a gritty performance against the best defense in the league, Utah walked away with its school record 12th win of the season. Utah finished the game with 42 shots, including 22 on goal, also winning the ground ball game with 33 to 23.
The name of the game was possession with Utah winning 91-percent of the faceoffs today, holding Air Force to just two faceoff wins.
GAME LEADERS
It was Brams leading the way on faceoffs for the Utes, winning 21-of-23 (.913) to set a new single-game record for the Utes in faceoff win percentage with his 21 victories also setting an ASUN Tournament record. He also recorded a team-high 18 ground balls, his fifth game this season with double-digit ground balls.
Moyer was Utah's driving force on offense today, scoring a career-high tying four goals on just five shots on goal. Hyde and Todd scored two goals each with Ryan Stines and Bradbury contributing two points each on a goal and an assist.
Cambere racked up a season-high tying three caused turnovers and a ground ball with Joey Boylston also recording two caused turnovers. Nikko DiPonio added four ground balls and a caused turnover with freshman goalkeeper Colin Lenskold finishing the game with nine saves.
FIRST QUARTER BREAKDOWN
The first quarter would be a defensive battle, with just three goals being score through the 15:00 period. Utah struck first in the game with Moyer scoring his first goal while diving across the crease to give Utah a 1-0 lead with 13:30 on the clock, but Air Force would tie things up 1-1 with 8:59 to go.
Both teams would go scoreless for the next seven minutes with Utah taking a 2-1 lead into the second quarter on a goal from Todd with 1:00 remaining in the first.
SECOND QUARTER BREAKDOWN
