LEXINGTON, Va. -- The fifth-ranked Washington and Lee men's lacrosse team was whistled for 11 penalties totaling nine minutes, but escaped with its fifth-straight one goal victory in an 11-10 win over Greensboro on Wednesday afternoon at Wilson Field.

The Generals (5-0) opened the game with a 5-1 lead on the strength of two goals and an assist by senior attackman Gavin Molinelli (Northport, N.Y./Northport). The Pride (4-1) stormed back by scoring four of the next five goals, three man-up, to cut the Generals lead to 6-5 entering the half.

W&L sandwiched a pair of goals around a single Greensboro tally for an 8-6 lead with 7:36 remaining in the third period, but the Pride clawed back with three straight goals for a 9-8 lead with 8:52 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Generals tied the game just 12 seconds later on a goal by senior midfielder Adam Chesbrough (Haverford, Pa./Harriton) off an assist from freshman attackman Ned Rider (Manakin-Sabot, Va./Collegiate), and stretched to an 11-9 lead with 4:37 remaining on goals by Molinelli and sophomore midfielder Jim Ryan (Virginia Beach, Va./Norfolk Academy). The Pride provided the final margin on an unassisted tally by freshman attackman Jordan Kenney (Linthicum, Md./Mt. Saint Joseph) with two seconds remaining in the game.

W&L was led by Molinelli, who totaled four goals and three assists. Rider notched two goals and an assist, while senior attackman Jack Murray (Earlysville, Va./Albemarle) added one goal and one assist. Chesbrough won 20-of-24 faceoffs in the game, while sophomore Chris Lalli (Cranbury, N.J./Princeton) posted seven saves in goal.

Greensboro, who was 7-of-11 on man-up situations, was led by Kenney's three goals and two assists. Freshman attackman Dustin Harlowe (Charlotte Hall, Md./St Mary's Ryken) chipped in with two goals and an assist. Junior Corey Reina (Baltimore, Md./Mt. Saint Joseph) registered 10 saves in goal.
