Lakewood, N.J.- On a cold, blustery Wednesday afternoon on the campus of Georgian Court University, the host-Lions dropped a 16-5 decision to #14 Molloy College in NCAA Division II men's lacrosse action.

GCU, still seeking the first win in its young history, slips to 0-3 overall while Molloy goes to 3-0 on the year.

The Lions struck first in the contest as tallies from Michael Negrete and Cory Boyle put the home team ahead, 2-0, with 5:07 remaining in the first period. Molloy closed out the stanza by rattling off three goals and added another at 13:28 in the second to take a 4-2 advantage.

Georgian Court's Joseph Ramirez sliced the deficit to 4-3 with 11:19 to go before intermission, courtesy of Connor Houghton's second assist of the game. Molloy went on to flex its muscle by outscoring the Lions, 6-1, over the remaining minutes of the second to head into halftime ahead, 10-4.

With the victory in hand, Molloy cruised through the final 30:00 with three goals in the third and another trifecta in the final session. Negrete netted his second goal of the game for GCU at the 4:59 mark of the third.

Seven Molloy players enjoyed multi-point outings, led by Kevin Teresky (Sr.-South Huntington, N.Y.) with his two goals and three assists.

Ryan Toomey (So.-Hicksville, N.Y.) secured the victory in the Molloy net, collecting seven saves in the process. Logan Eisenhart went the distance for GCU, stopping nine shots in goal for the Lions.

GCU next hosts Pace University this Saturday afternoon at noon.
