WINTER PARK, Fla. – The Embry-Riddle men's lacrosse team was unable to pick up a win in its final road game of the season on Saturday as the Eagles fell to Rollins (6-6, 3-3 SSC) 18-3 at the Tars' Cahall-Sandspur Field in Sunshine State Conference action. Kyle Dalrymple earned his second hat trick of the year as the Eagles moved to 1-11 overall and 0-6 in the league.
The Eagles recorded two of the first three shots, but it was Tars who grabbed the early advantage. Rollins got four goals from Joey Cinque and a pair from Greg Taicher, and converted on nearly 60 percent of its first 12 attempts to lead 7-0 at the end of the first quarter.
A low-scoring second frame saw Dalrymple net an extra-man goal on a feed from Kinder, but the Tars managed to tack on another score and at the half, the Rollins lead was 8-1.
Dalrymple's second goal of the afternoon at the 11:29 mark halted a 3-0 run for Rollins, however, that was the Eagles' only score for 23 minutes. Meanwhile, the Tars added six goals to their tally before Dalrymple ended the scoring drought with a man-up goal with four minutes left in the contest.
Cinque, who did all of his scoring in the first quarter, finished with a game-high four goals for Rollins, while Taicher (2g, 2a) and Jeremy Slocumb (1g, 3a) contributed four points each.
Mario Cartisano matched his season best with 13 saves for ERAU.
Embry-Riddle will wrap up its inaugural season of competition on Saturday by hosting Florida Southern at the Embry-Riddle Lacrosse Field. Game time is slated for 5 p.m.
