Mount St. Mary's scored twice in the final 41 seconds to force
overtime, but it was not enough as Marist pulled out a 6-5 victory
in double overtime. Freshman Dan Mohr scored three times in the
loss for the Mount (1-10, 1-5 MAAC).
Mohr put the Mount on the scoreboard
first, scoring an extra-man goal on a feed from Joe Derwent 4:49
into the game. Marist (2-12, 2-3 MAAC) responded with a pair of
goals to take a 2-1 lead after one quarter. Corey Zindel evened
the score and Matt Teichmann's tally with 1:12 left in the quarter
gave Marist the lead.
Mohr converted a Jon Rodrick pass early
in the second quarter to even the score at 2-2, but Corey Zindel's
score with 4:36 left in the half restored the Marist lead. Mohr,
however, answered with an unassisted goal with 2:05 left in the
half to knot the game at 3-3. Marist held a 20-17 shot advantage
in the half and a 16-8 edge in ground balls.
Zindel scored the only goal of the third
quarter and Ryan McNierney's tally with 9:19 left in the game gave
the Red Foxes a 5-3 advantage. That lead held until the Mount
posted a furious rally to even the score. Geery Grant scored on a
pass from Joe Derwent with 41 seconds left to cut the Marist lead
to 5-4. Derwent then scored an unassisted goal with six second
left to force the extra periods.
The Mount did not have a shot on goal in
either overtime period as Marist was able to earn the victory on
Paul Santavicca's extra-man goal just 14 seconds into the second
overtime.
Mohr led the Mount with three goals,
giving him a team-high 19 on the year. Derwent added a goal and
two assists for the Mount in the loss. Freshman T.C. DiBartolo
made a season-high 19 saves in the loss for the Mount.
Zindel paced Marist with three goals
while Teichmann added a goal and an assist in the victory. Ryan
Penner made 15 saves to earn the win in the cage.
Marist outshot the Mount 41-33 in the
game and held a 25-22 edge in ground balls.
The Mount returns to action on Wednesday,
April 23rd, when VMI visits Waldron Family Stadium for a 4:00 p.m.
game.
