PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Led by goals from six different players, the Stevenson men’s lacrosse team outscored RIT 6-1 in the fourth quarter to overcome a three-goal deficit en route to winning the title game of the 2013 NCAA Division III Men’s Lacrosse Championship with a 16-14 victory Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Mustangs (22-2) finish the season with a school record 22 wins and on a 10-game winning streak. Stevenson is the eighth different school to win the NCAA Division III championship and the third from Maryland, joining Salisbury and Washington College.

“I want to thank everybody from Stevenson University that helped us get here,” said head coach Paul Cantabene. “President Manning, Tim Campbell, Brett Adams and everybody who put everything on for this weekend.”

“It’s an unbelievable community of people and what they do to help us get here and the logistics, it’s just a real special place. I feel
like I’m one of the luckiest guys in the world to have the best job in the world so I just can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done.”

Sophomore Mark Pannenton (Niskayuna, N.Y./Niskayuna) was named Most Outstanding Player after scoring five goals against the Tigers, his third, five-goal game of the season. He became just the third player in program history to score 60 goals in a season, joining Jimmy Dailey (2011) and Neal Barthelme (2011).

With 62 goals, Pannenton is second on the Mustangs’ all-time single season list. He scored 13 goals in Stevenson’s five NCAA tournament games and scored at least one goal in each of the team’s 24 games this season.

The Mustangs jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the game’s first 5:37 and led 6-1 after the first quarter. In 24 games this season, Stevenson
outscored its opponents, 131-34.

However, RIT (19-3) responded by outscoring the Mustangs 12-4 over the second and third quarter and took its first lead of the game at 10-9 on a man-up goal by Eddie Kiesa with 9:54 remaining in the third.

The goal, which was during a one-minute, unreleaseable, 6-on-4 man-advantage for the Tigers, was the last of four man-up goals for RIT who were 4-10 on extra-man opportunities in the game. The Tigers entered the game with the best man-up offense in Division III this season.

Stevenson was whistled for 11 pentalties totaling 8:30 and committed six face-off violations which led to three man-up opportunities for
the Tigers.

After Kyle Aquin gave RIT a 13-10 lead at the end of the third quarter, the Mustangs outscored the Tigers 6-1 just like they did in
the first, netting the first four of the fourth quarter just 57 seconds apart before sophomore Pat Candon (Long Beach, N.Y./Holy Trinity) scored the game-winner with 11:31 left.

“I think that’s one of the things that this team does, they concede the loss,” said Cantabene. “They could have gave up at 13-10. They
never concede anything. Alright, you got us, but I’m going to make the next play. We’re going to make the next thing. That’s kind of how we go about it.”

Aquin tied the NCAA Division III championship game record by scoring seven goals on Sunday, equaling the mark set by Salisbury’s Sam Bradman in 2011. In two games against Stevenson this year, he scored 11 of the Tigers’ 25 goals.

Senior Tyler Reid (Clinton, Conn./Xavier) finished with a goal and three assists for the Mustangs and finished his three-year career
ranked fifth in school history with 162 points and third with 123 goals. He scored a school record 29 goals in 11 NCAA tournament games.

The Mustangs were outshot for the first time this season, 43-42, and for just the 25th time in nine seasons under Cantabene.

Both teams and lacrosse fans will not have to wait long for the rematch between RIT and Stevenson.

“It’s not going to take us long to see them again because we open the season with them next year,” said Cantabene. “That’ll be pretty
interesting.”

Stevenson and RIT are scheduled to write the fourth chapter in what is an increasingly exciting rivalry on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2014.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. – The No. 12 Salisbury University men’s lacrosse team’s title defense came to an end on Sunday night at Mustang Stadium, as the Sea Gulls fell to No. 4 Stevenson University, 12-6, in an NCAA Division III semifinal game; this marked the fourth-straight semifinal appearance for the Gulls, but the first loss in the round since 1998 and the first time failing to make the national championship since 2009.

Stevenson jumped out to an early lead on the Sea Gulls, starting the game with a three-goal run. Less than two minutes into the game, at the 13:27 mark, Mark Pannenton scored for the Mustangs to begin the run. Pannenton blocked a pass by junior goalkeeper Alex Taylor and retrieved the ground ball for a one-on-one chance.

Freshman attackman Brady Dashiell, Salisbury’s leader with three goals, stopped the run with the Sea Gulls’ first goal to cut the lead; junior attackman Rhett DePol passed across the crease to an open Dashiell, who put the ball home in the right side of the cage. Dashiell and DePol both tallied four points to lead the Gulls, as DePol registered a team-high three assists.

The quarter ended with two goals from the Mustangs, as Salisbury entered the second quarter trailing, 5-1.

The Gulls took little time getting onto the scoreboard in the second, scoring two goals in the first two minutes of the period.

At the 14:05 mark, Dashiell had the ball near the right sideline, before dodging his defender, running to the crease and beating the Mustang’s keeper for his second goal. He then assisted DePol just 64 seconds later, passing the ball to DePol, who faked the goalie on the crease and scored low to cut the lead to 5-3.

After getting within two, the Sea Gulls gave up a four-goal run to the Mustangs to end the half. Chris Dashiell scored three during the run for Stevenson, and Salisbury entered halftime trailing, 9-3.

At the half, Salisbury was trailing in shots, 22-16, and faceoffs won, 2-of-6, but the Sea Gulls were successful on 5-of-7 clears.

Both teams scored only one goal in the third quarter, with Tyler Smith ripping a shot from 15 yards for the Sea Gulls, and the score entering the fourth quarter was 10-4.

While holding the Mustangs to the single score, the Gulls were unable to jump at the chance to gain some ground. “We did create some opportunities during that run,” Head Coach Jim Berkman said. “We just weren’t able to capitalize.”

To start the final quarter, Stevenson’s Tyler Reid scored at the 13:05 mark to increase the Mustang’s lead to 11-4, but two goals from the Sea Gulls cut the lead to five with just over six minutes remaining.

Brady Dashiell completed his hat trick by taking a pass from DePol and netting a shot from the right wing.

Smith tallied his second on a man-up chance; he took a pass from junior midfielder Greg Korvin and whizzed a low shot from 20 yards past the keeper.

The Mustangs scored again late to cap the game.

Taylor played all 60 minutes for the Gulls in the cage and made nine saves in the effort.

Despite the 2013 season coming to an end, the Sea Gulls were a young team this season that now has good experience moving forward. “There are some young guys that definitely got their feet wet and hopefully got some great experience,” Berkman said. “It will really pay dividends in the future.”

SALISBURY, Md. – No. 1-ranked Salisbury scored four third-quarter goals while Alex Taylor totaled 19 saves as the Sea Gulls advanced to their 14th national championship game with a 7-2 victory over fifth-ranked Stevenson Sunday in the semifinals of the 2012 NCAA Division III Men’s Lacrosse Championship at Sea Gull Stadium.

Sunday marked the 14th all-time meeting between the two schools and the third in the NCAA Division III Men’s Lacrosse Championship.

Neither team was able to find the back of the net in the first quarter despite Salisbury holding a 12-3 advantage in shots. Senior Ian
Bolland (Mountain Lakes, N.J./Mountain Lakes) made four first-quarter saves.

The game remained scoreless until the Sea Gulls’ Lantz Carter scored unassisted with 3:46 remaining in the second quarter. The goal was the first allowed by either team in the series in a span of 36:20 since Salisbury’s Sam Bradman scored with 10:06 left in the fourth quarter of the CAC championship game on April 28.

That would be the only goal of the half despite the two teams combining for 35 shots. Bolland had seven first-half saves while Taylor finished with nine.

Cory Nowak scored the first of his two goals with 8:09 to play in the third quarter which sparked a three-goal run by the Sea Gulls who led 4-0 with 5:40 remaining in the quarter when Nowak netted his second off an assist from Bradman.

Nowak and Bradman accounted for all three goals in a span of 2:29 as Bradman scored the first of his two goals at 6:59.

Freshman Michael Crowe (Arlington, Va./Yorktown) got Stevenson on the board with 4:34 left in the third quarter before Bradman answered less than a minute later give Salisbury a 5-1 lead going into the fourth quarter.

Taylor stopped seven of 12 Mustang shots in the third quarter.

After being outshot by nine in the opening quarter, Stevenson held a 38-23 advantage over the final three quarters, but could muster just
two goals  as Taylor totaled 17 of his 19 saves.

The Mustangs also held a 39-31 edge in ground balls while the two teams were statistically even in face-offs won, turnovers and clears.

In addition to Taylor, the biggest difference came on the extra-man where Stevenson was 0-for-6.

Junior Peter Green (Hereford, Md./Hereford) had five ground balls and two caused turnovers while junior Parker Bratton (Baltimore,
Md./McDonogh) had two caused turnovers.

Bradman totaled two goals and one assist to lead the Sea Gulls while Nowak and Matt Cannone each had two points.

The loss concludes the careers of 10 seniors on the Mustang roster. Over the last four years, the senior class was responsible for a
record 72 wins, posting a 72-12 record for an .857 winning percentage. The team also made four NCAA Tournament appearances during that time and advanced to three national semifinals.

Denison (15-2), who suffered both of its losses this season at Mustang Stadium, pulled within four on Alex Hardt’s 37th goal of the season with 10:56 remaining in the fourth quarter. Both teams would exchange goals over the next two minutes before the Mustangs finished the game by netting the final three to send the team to its third semifinals.

Freshman Stephen Banick (Charlotte, N.C./Charlotte) finished with four goals while senior Nick Rossi (Lutherville, Md./Towson) had two goals and one assist and sophomore Chris Dashiell (Salisbury, Md./Parkside) had one goal and two assists.
