OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Senior

Â
The 24 stops, two shy of the school record of 26 set by Jared Jankowski against Widener on April 27, 1999 and Kyle Gilfoy against Widener on April 18, 2009, helped Wylly finish the game tied with Gilfoy (2006-09) for second in school history with 572 career saves.
Â
In addition to Wylly, junior
Mike Cooper (Riva, Md./Archbishop Spalding) became the 16
th player in program history to reach 100 career points, as he notched two goals and an assist to lead the Warriors (2-12 overall, 2-5 Commonwealth).
Â

Michael Wagner (Pasadena, Md./St. Mary's) scooped up five. Williams forced two turnovers and McLaughlin also picked up four ground balls.
Â
Freshman
Garrett Huff (Corning, N.Y./Corning East) and sophomore
Marcus Winn (Selinsgrove, Pa./Selinsgrove Area) each added one assist.
Â
After an early man-up goal by Stevenson, Williams scored unassisted to tie the game at one with 11:43 left in the opening quarter. The Mustangs scored the next 12 goals, though, to take control of the game.
Â
Matt Tompkins led the Mustangs (12-4 overall, 7-0 Commonwealth) with five goals and an assist and Stephen Banick added two goals and four assists. Callum Robinson led the defense with five ground balls and four caused turnovers.
