Box Score LYNCHBURG, Va. – One day after defeating Lynchburg at home, the Washington and Lee men's lacrosse team suffered a 13-6 road loss to the third-ranked Hornets on Saturday evening.
 
Lynchburg (7-2) started the game hot, scoring three times in the opening 5:06, including a pair of goals by graduate attackman Trammel Robinson.
 
W&L (4-3) scored two of the next three goals to pull with 4-2 at the 5:06 mark of the first period.  Senior attackman Austin Hudson (Baltimore, Md. / Gilman) got the Generals on the board with a goal off an assist from senior attackman Taylor Witherell (Wilmington, Del. / Salesianum) to make it 3-1 at 8:24, but Robinson scored his third goal of the game at 6:42 to make it a 4-1 game.  Witherell responded with a goal of his own to make it 4-2.
 
The Hornets regained control with a 7-1 run over the next two periods to take a commanding 11-3 lead with 6:03 left in the third period.  Junior attackman Brett Rogers notched two tallies to key the Lynchburg run.
 
The Generals attempted to get back in the game with a three-goal spurt across the end of the third period and beginning of the fourth.  Hudson scored his second goal of the game off a feed from junior midfielder Garrett Mize (Dallas, Texas / St. Mark's) at the 2:16 mark of the third, while sophomore midfielder Henry Holliday (Washington, D.C. / St. Albans) scored his second goal of the contest, man-up from senior attackman Stuart Greenspon (Aldie, Va. / Episcopal) just 37 seconds into the fourth period.  Junior midfielder Tommy MacCowatt (New Vernon, N.J. / Delbarton) added a goal off an assist from senior midfielder Ben Mulholland (Sewickley, Pa. / Sewickley Academy) with 8:01 remaining to pull W&L within 11-6.
 
That was as close as the Generals would get, however, as the Hornets tacked on two more scores, including another for Robinson, in posting the seven-goal victory that ended a three-game losing streak to W&L.
