DUBUQUE, Iowa – The Kalamazoo College men's lacrosse team picked up its second win of the season Saturday afternoon on the University of Dubuque's campus as the Hornets defeated the Spartans, 5-4.
After Dubuque took an early 1-0 lead, Kalamazoo countered with a pair of goals before halftime. Zach Morales found the back of the net on the Hornets' first goal with 3:31 remaining in the first quarter. The assist was credited to Clapton Marquis.
With just 1:08 remaining in the first half Marquis got himself on the scoring sheet off an assist from Alex McDonell.
The third quarter provided back-and-forth action but a goal apiece from Marquis, McDonell and Kellen Radulski gave K a 5-3 lead heading into the fourth and that's all they need to come out on top.
The Hornets outplayed Dubuque in multiple aspects of the game outshooting the Spartans 33-20 and picking up 32 ground balls compared to the Spartans 30.
