CHESTERTOWN, Md. -- The 10th-ranked Washington College men's lacrosse team used a pair of three-goal spurts over the third and fourth periods to pull away for a 10-8 win over Washington and Lee on Saturday evening at Roy Kirby, Jr. Stadium.

The Generals (1-3) led 5-4 with 7:53 remaining in the third quarter on the second of two goals by senior midfielder Lee McLaughlin (Rockbridge Baths, Va./Episcopal). The Shoremen responded with their first three-goal run to take a 7-5 lead with 2:51 left in the period. W&L freshman attackman Will Keigler (Timonium, Md./Gilman) stopped the surge when he found the net off an assist from junior attackman Ned Rider (Manakin-Sabot, Va./Collegiate) with seven seconds left in the third quarter, but the Shoremen scored the next three goals, including a pair by Andrew Generazio, for a 10-6 lead with 5:08 remaining in the contest.

W&L fought back with a pair of goals in the final 4:25, including a man-down goal by Rider, but could get no closer than the 10-8 final score.

McLaughlin led the Generals with his two goals, while Rider notched one goal and two assists. Keigler, sophomore attackman Tim Skeen (Baltimore, Md./Towson) and sophomore midfielder Harry St. John (Essex Fells, N.J./West Essex) each added one goal and one assist. Senior goalkeeper Chris Lalli (Cranbury, N.J./Princeton) held the Shoremen at bay for much of the game, recording a season-high 17 saves.

Washington (3-1) was paced by Generazio and Chris Read, who posted two goals and one assist each. Gordon Cohen notched 14 saves in goal.

Washington and Lee returns to action on Monday afternoon as it hosts Hood College for a 3:30 pm contest.
