Two players mark hat tricks, Sparks earns first collegiate point
HANOVER, N.H. – After a battle with six lead changes, the University of Utah lacrosse program ultimately fell to Dartmouth College, 11-9, at Scully-Fahey Field in Hanover, N.H. on Saturday afternoon.
Utah started the game with the first score on the board, effectively ending the five-minute drought and putting the Utes ahead for, what would become, the first of many. The lead went back-and-forth, changing six times throughout the four quarters. In the fourth quarter, the Big Green would score to tie up the match with 3:30 left, and then proceeded to score back-to-back shots to take the game.
GAME LEADERS
Three Utes top the chart for points, Ryan Stines, Zachary White and Luke McNamara, each accumulating four marks with different statistics. Stines tallied one goal and three assists, while White earned his first collegiate hat trick and added a helper and McNamara found his third game with multiple scores, this time achieving four. Four players hit the net, with McNamara leading the roster with his four. The freshman also led the team with seven shots, six on goal, with Cody Hart tallying six attempts.
Defensively, sixteen different Utes grabbed a groundball with Tyler Kloeckl leading the way. Kloeckl scooped six, with McNamara and Nikko DiPonio not far behind with four. As a team, the Utes found 37 groundballs and six caused turnovers. Kloeckl and Bryce Madden attempted 24 faceoffs, winning 12 and keeping Dartmouth to the same, each team earning a 50% faceoff percentage. In the cage, Colin Lenskold saved 14 of Dartmouth's attempts, facing a season-high of 47 shots.
