Lacrosse Faces Hampton for Senior Day SoCon Tilt

Live Stats
 
The matchup is designated as Senior Day presented by First Command as seniors Josh Bass, Jack Burke, Trejan Cannon, David Foster, Aidan Riley, Alex Rodriguez, Michael Santos and Mike Tulskie will play for the final time of the VMI careers on North Post.
 
The game is a rematch as the two teams squared off earlier this season when VMI (3-9, 1-2) took a 15-6 win over the Pirates in Hampton back on February 21.  This weekend's matchup will count as a Southern Conference contest whereas the previous battle was designated as a non-conference affair.
 
Scout Ripley holds a slim lead as the team's points leader with 32 on the season (22 goals, 10 assists) and Hartley Jordan is close behind with 30 on 20 goals and 10 helpers. Freshman Luke Rusterucci stands in third place with 25 points on 11 goals and team-high 14 assists on the year.
 
Cannon continues to lead the squad in caused turnovers in 2022 with 17 on the season. Freshmen Alex Baber and James Boynewicz are close behind with 14 and 13, respectively, for the year.
 
Goalie Jack Liselli has played over 600 minutes this season with 132 saves and a .480 save percentage having faced 448 shot attempts.
 
About the Pirates (0-9, 0-4)
 
Hampton closes its 2022 campaign Saturday when the Pirates face the Keydets after enduring a difficult 0-9 season and 0-4 mark in the Southern Conference. The Pirates faced No. 8 Jacksonville at home this past Sunday and fell by a 26-3 score at Anderson Stadium.
 
Derian Williams-Sturdivant leads the team with 10 points on the season on six goals and four assists while Miles Fawcett ranks second with nine points on eight goals and one assist. Andre Myers has earned five points thus far on four goals and one assist. Other offensive leaders include Steele Downing, Lonnie Jones, Jayden Price, Jonathan Angel and Ethan Mitchell.
