Blue Mountain Lacrosse

Gwynedd-Mercy College grinded out a 7-5 win over visiting Hood College Wednesday afternoon.

Freshman Mason Risner (Lancaster, Pa./Hempfield) paced the offense with three goals including a man-down goal late in the first half. Freshman Roy Bakeoven (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) added two scores and two assists and freshman goalie Richard Zagari (Hillsborough, N.J./Immaculata) posted 15 saves as the Griffins are off to a 2-0 start.

Risner put Gwynedd on the board midway in the first quarter before the Blazers’ Corey Roberts netted two in a row to end the stanza. GM answered early in the second with back-to-back scores from Bakeoven and Emmett Devlin (West Chester, Pa./West Chester Henderson) to take a 3-2 lead.

Tied at 3-3, Risner’s man-down tally came with 1:45 left in the second, starting a string of three-straight over a quarter and a half.

Hood pulled within 6-5 with 3:12 left before Coan hooked up with sophomore Craig Trueblood (Smithsburg, Md./Smithsburg) for an important insurance goal.

Shots were in favor of the Blazers, 38-37, but the Griffins held a 32-31 groundball edge.

Email from Brian Mauer (Dakota Mauer's Father):

I was checking out your new Blue Mountain Web page and thought I would pass along some additional information.

Dakota was recruited and playing goalie for Chestnut Hill. He is currently competing for the starting role end ended the fall season number one of the depth chart. He received both academic and athletic scholarships. He seems to have really found his home at CHC. He loves the school, the area, coaches, LAX team, etc. He seems to be doing very well both on the field and in the classroom.

I wanted you to know that Blue Mountain was the reason he found this school and we just wanted to thank you. I have also suggested that Dakota contacts you to see if he can help with the younger kids. Please let us know if we can ever help with the program.
