ASTON, Pa. – Ending the afternoon with another three goals, senior Owen Zimmerman (Stevens, Pa./Cocalico) passed the 30-goal mark for the second time in his career and became one of the Lycoming College men's lacrosse program's top-five goal scorers as Lycoming finished off Neumann University, 9-7, on Saturday, March 25, at Neumann's Turf Field.
 
Zimmerman now sits tied for fifth with Ethan Payne '12, with 126 career goals, and he went past Payne for ninth on the career points list with 168. Sophomore Shayne Wilson (Smyrna, Del./Smyrna) scored his first two career goals with the Warriors (3-6 overall). Junior Andrew Ednie (Farmingville, N.Y./Sachem East), sophomore Joey Hoover (Selinsgrove, Pa./Selinsgrove Area), sophomore Sean Farrell (Allentown, Pa./Allentown Central Catholic), and senior Joe Corozzo (Glen Head, N.Y./North Shore) all found the back of the net for a goal apiece.
 
Farrell lead the team with two assists, while four players picked up three ground balls - sophomore Colin Manankil (White Hall, Md./Hereford), sophomore goalkeeper Ben Franco (Macungie, Pa./Emmaus), senior Josh Hall (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic), and sophomore Jakob Switzer (West Pittston, Pa./Wyoming Area). Senior Brody Balasa (Dresher, Pa./Upper Dublin) finished with three caused turnovers.
 
Defying a defensive battle through the first eight minutes of play, Farrell found Wilson on the backside of the cage for a shot by Wilson as he came around the right post for the goal. Corozzo didn't let up for the Warriors, netting a shot 19 seconds later as he brought the ball in from a faceoff win by Manankil.
 
At 11:42 in the second, Hoover ran the ball in from the restraining line and was able to get a shot off before he was hit at the goal mouth, scoring in the process. Zimmerman got his first scoring taste of the afternoon with a hard shot over the shoulder of the Knights' goalkeeper at 4:03. Another wrapround goal for the Warriors was scored by Farrell at 1:45, gaining the possession from behind the goal. A turnover by the Knights' allowed Corozzo to clear the field as Zimmerman struck again with four seconds remaining in the half.
 
Ednie opened the scoring in the second half when his shot rolled into the net. Another good clear by the Warriors thanks to Franco and Hall gave Zimmerman another opportunity with a low shot on the Knights to complete his hat trick.
 
Wilson finished the Warriors' scoring, just as he started it at 12:19 in the final 15 minutes, with Ednie finding him outside the goal crease for a final shot at the left goal post.
 
Max Nice led the Knights (4-6 overall) with three goals, three ground balls and a caused turnover, as the Knights cut a 9-4 margin down to the final two-goal lead in the final quarter.
 
Franco earned the win, making 14 saves on 40 shots. Jake Marchiafava made 16 saves on 39 shots for the Knights.
 
The Warriors return to the field on Wednesday, March 29, when they host DeSales University to open MAC Freedom play at 7 p.m. at UPMC Field.
