Lacrosse Hosts Hampton Tuesday Afternoon

LEXINGTON, Va. – The VMI lacrosse team will face Hampton Tuesday afternoon at 4 p.m. at Drill Field #2 on North Post.
 
The Keydets (2-1) are coming off a 17-11 loss at the hands of High Point this past Friday night at home. After a high-scoring first quarter in which the Keydets trailed 8-5, VMI matched point-for-point in the second and third quarters but ran out of gas in the final period as the Panthers logged three more goals while holding VMI scoreless.
 
Luke Rusterucci, Luke Mryncza and Hartley Jordan led the Keydets with two goals apiece on the night while five others earned solo goals in the hard-fought loss.
