Babson Park, FL – The Webber International Men’s Lacrosse team hosted the #7 Concordia Cardinals on Wednesday afternoon. The Warriors led wire-to-wire in a top 10 matchup, defeating the Cardinals 20-13. 

Ryan Prylinski’s day in the net started early as he had two quick saves to start the day. Dillon Ziemba got the scoring started with a bang as he scored with an assist from Chase Jackson. Christian Tapia scored next for the Warriors to make it 2-0. Daniel McClure found pay dirt off the pass from Connor Herring, before Jackson found the net as well to make it 4-0 Webber. After winning the ensuing faceoff, the Warriors wasted no time scoring again, as Nick Sheaffer assisted Blake Nelson for a goal. Another faceoff win for Joshua Cargile set up herring for a goal of his own. Jackson found the net once more in the first and Prylinski saved another shot as Webber headed to the second quarter up 7-0.  

Dane Fasano caused a turnover to set up Tapia for his second goal of the afternoon, before the Cardinals were finally able to get on the board to make it 8-1. The Cardinals got a man-up goal to make it 9-2, but Sheaffer would take the goal right back off the pass from Tapia. Two more goals would go through for the Cardinals, but goals from McClure and Houston Finlayson would immediately negate them. Jeremiah Loo would get a man-up goal, but Concordia would answer right back as the game went to halftime 12-5 Warriors.
