Orangeburg, NY (4/10/12)  The Dominican College men's lacrosse team captured their first win of the 2012 season after defeating the visiting Raiders of Roberts Wesleyan College, 11-9, this afternoon in a non-conference game played at the DC Lacrosse Field.  With the win, Dominican improves 1-7 overall, while Roberts Wesleyan falls to 2-7 on the season.

Senior attacker Korin Pierce (Middleburg, VA) and sophomore midfielder Thomas Dertinger (Nanuet, NY) each scored three goals and three assists in the victory to finish with a season high six points on the afternoon.

Pierce started off the scoring with his ninth goal of the season off the pass from Dertinger with 10:35 left in the first quarter.  Attacker Connor Lawlor (Neptune City, NJ) put DC up 2-0 with 8:16 to go on an unassisted goal.  Dertinger followed less than a minute later with his first goal of the game to take a 3-0 lead.  A Raider goal broke up the run to make the score 3-1 with 6:35 to go, but Pierce and Chris Delaney (Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada) netted goals off assists from Dertinger and Lawlor to put the Chargers ahead 5-1.  Two RWC goals before the end of the quarter made the score 5-3.

The Chargers outscored the Raiders 2-1 in the second quarter as midfielder Sean McGregor (Bloomingburg, NY) scored his first goal of the season off the assist from Dertinger at the 14 minute mark and Delaney converted a man-up opportunity off the pass from Daniel Steigert (Copiague, NY) to give DC a four goal lead (7-3) with 12:22 before the break.  The Raiders closed out first half play with a goal to make the score 7-4 at halftime.

The third quarter opened with RWC going on a 3-0 run to tie the game at 7-7, but Dominican answered back with four unanswered goals to close out the third quarter with an 11-7 lead.  Pierce regained an 8-7 lead with his 11th goal of the season off Lawlor's assist with just under 11 minutes to play.  McGregor scored his second goal of the season a little over four minutes later with an unassisted goal.  Dertinger completed the hat trick with two consecutive goals off two passes from Pierce.
