LYNCHBURG, Va. – Senior Paul Venturella scored 24 seconds into the fourth overtime period Sunday to lift the Lynchburg College men’s lacrosse team to a 10-9 quadruple overtime victory over visiting Stevens Institute of Technology.
Stevens held the lead after the first, second and third quarters. A man-up goal by junior attack Brian Lalli (Cranbury, N.J./Princeton) with 14:35 left in the fourth quarter gave the Ducks a 9-7 lead. Lynchburg knotted the score as Brandon Childs (7:42) and Andy Sinclair (3:24) scored goals in the latter part of the half. The game remained tied through the first three four-minute overtime periods, until Venturella’s game-winner following the fourth-overtime face-off.
Childs had four goals with one assist, while Kevin Reinecke tallied three goals and three assists. The 17th-ranked Hornets outshot the Ducks 50-26 and held a 16-8 edge in face-offs.
Junior Matt Kuppe (Pennington, N.J./Hopewell Valley) had two goals and an assist for Stevens (2-1). Lalli and junior Erik Reckdenwald (Glen Aubrey, N.Y./Whitney Point) each added two scores. Junior goalie Matt Cannon (Bridgewater, N.J./Bridgewater-Raritan) made 23 saves.
Stevens returns to action on Wednesday, March 12, when it faces Ohio Wesleyan in an 11 a.m. game at Loyola College in Baltimore.
