LEXINGTON, Va. - Returning home to face MAAC foe Mount St. Mary's for a midweek matchup, the VMI lacrosse team fell by a 20-5 score to The Mount Wednesday afternoon at Drill Field #2.
 
The game was a historic one for the program as it marked the first ever live broadcast event at Drill Field #2.
 
The Keydets (4-6, 1-3) got behind early and could not overcome the deficit as The Mount (4-6, 3-1) jumped out to a 6-2 lead after the opening period and 10-3 advantage at the half en route to victory.
 
Key Stats
*Hartley Jordan put the Keydets on the board first with a quick strike at the 13:36 mark of the opening period for an early VMI lead. He would score again at the 1:54 mark of the opening quarter to end a four-goal run by The Mount
*Luke Rusterucci added a goal in the second period, AJ Stamos logged one in the third, and freshman Austin English tallied one final VMI goal with 21 seconds remaining in the contest
*Cormac Giblin led The Mount with three goals on the day while Kelly Gouin, Kyle Cullen and William Vandegrift each added a pair

*VMI goalie Adam Norris tallied 12 saves in the loss before he was replaced by Damian Levin, who logged seven saves over 17 minutes in the cage
 
 
VMI head coach James Purpura
"Today was a tough result. Credit to our opponent, they dominated time of possession today. We got out ground balled and went 6-for-27 at the face off X. Neither of those stats are conducive to success. We have to find a way to generate possessions. Our young team continues to learn valuable lessons. I'm proud of their hunger to get better and we know we can play at a higher level. It's just about finding consistency. I look forward to getting back to the practice field tomorrow to keep getting better and start preparing for another conference game this weekend."
