Box Score WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Senior Matt McCaffer (Marcellus, N.Y./Marcellus) scored three goals and junior Sean Reilly (Corning, N.Y./Corning-Painted Post West) notched two goals and an assist to lead the Lycoming College men's lacrosse team on Wednesday, April 9, but a seven-goal fourth quarter from Elizabethtown College helped it pull away for a 13-6 Commonwealth Conference win at the Shangraw Athletic Complex.
 
The Warriors (6-5 overall, 4-1 Commonwealth), who had won six straight games, scooped up 28 ground balls in the game, which was designated as a fund raiser for the Community Alliance for Progressive Positive Action (CAPPA), with more than $57 pledged for each ground ball the team scooped up. In all, the team's efforts will bring in more than $1700 for the Williamsport-based organization.
 
McCaffer helped the Warriors rally from a six-goal deficit midway through the fourth quarter. Down 9-3, Lycoming scored three goals in a  2:30 span to get back into the game, with sophomore Mike Cooper (Riva, Md./Archbishop Spalding) finding Reilly for a man-up goal with 6:20 left to start the rally.

However, Elizabethtown (5-6 overall, 1-3 Commonwealth) responded with the last four goals of the game, three from Joe Clark, to earn its first Commonwealth Conference win.
 
The Blue Jays scored the first two goals of the game after a silent first 10 minutes. Reilly closed the Warriors within a goal, but Elizabethtown scored the next three to take a 5-1 lead into the break.
 
The Warriors cut the lead to three goals in the third quarter when junior Christian Jacobs (Gwynn Oak, Md./Baltimore Lutheran) scored on a drive just 58 seconds into the half, but Elizabethtown again responded with four of the next five goals, taking a 9-3 lead with 7:41 left in the fourth quarter.
