UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.<\/strong> \u2013 Paced by a 6-1 third quarter, eight Lyle Thompson<\/a><\/strong> points and 19 Blaze Riorden<\/a><\/strong> saves, the #18\/19 UAlbany men\u2019s lacrosse team took down #12\/14 Penn State 17-10 on the road on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

UAlbany (3-3) earned its second victory over a ranked team on the road this season with the win over Penn State (4-4), defeating UMass two weeks ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought Blaze [Riorden] and our defense set the tone for us today,\u201d said UAlbany coach Scott Marr<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cWe played defense most of the first period, and from there our offense took advantage of its opportunities.\u00a0 I am very pleased with our total team effort.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Riorden\u2019s 19 saves is a season-high for UAlbany for a 65.5% save percentage in the game.\u00a0 James Burdette<\/a><\/strong> helped on defense with four caused turnovers of the team\u2019s 12.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the offensive end, Lyle Thompson led the Great Danes with eight points off three goals and five assists.\u00a0 Miles Thompson<\/a><\/strong> had four goals and two assists, adding a pair of caused turnovers, with Ty Thompson<\/a><\/strong> earning two goals and two assists.\u00a0 Off the bench, Eli Lasda<\/a><\/strong> scored two goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Penn State, Dan Craig had a hat trick of goals with two ground balls, while Pat Manley scored three goals off the bench.<\/span><\/p>\n

The defense was tested early as Penn State had possession the majority of the first seven minutes.\u00a0 Including two Riorden saves and a Burdette turnover, the Great Danes held Penn State scoreless in that time.\u00a0 Then at the 7:12 mark, third shot was a charm as Miles Thompson got set up for the score from Lyle Thompson for the first goal of the game.\u00a0 Penn State countered the other way and scored a minute-and-a-half later.<\/span><\/p>\n

After protecting against another series of Penn State shots, UAlbany cleared and saw Lyle Thompson score a pair of goals in a row to finish the period, sending the Great Danes ahead 3-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following an exchange of possessions, Lasda got set up for the fast break and scored from Eric Cantor<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 About a minute later, Ryan Feuerstein<\/a><\/strong> scored unassisted for a 5-1 UAlbany lead, causing Penn State to call timeout with 11:40 in the period.\u00a0 Following a Pat Manley goal for PSU, Lyle Thompson earned another score on a goal with under nine minutes left in the second to make it 6-2 UAlbany.<\/span><\/p>\n

Penn State followed with a 3-0 run, with five different point-scorers, to pull within one.\u00a0 With six seconds left in the half, Lasda was fed the ball from Lyle Thompson for a goal to put UAlbany up 7-5 going into the locker room.<\/span><\/p>\n

With possessions going back-and-forth to begin the third quarter, Will Stenberg<\/a><\/strong> and Miles Thompson each connected on goals.\u00a0 Penn State\u2019s Craig scored at the 6:34 mark of the third to make it 9-6 UAlbany.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final five minutes of the quarter, the UAlbany offense was on fire.\u00a0 John Maloney<\/a><\/strong>, Miles Thompson, Ty Thompson and Feuerstein all scored in succession to finish up the period, giving UAlbany a 13-6 lead.\u00a0 Into next quarter, Matt Garziano<\/a><\/strong> and Matthew Bertrams<\/a><\/strong> added early goals to complete a 6-0 run, leading UAlbany to take a 15-6 advantage with 13:24 left.<\/span><\/p>\n

The home team made a late charge with two Craig goals and a Manley score to pull within six, but a Ty Thompson goal with 7:03 left ended the PSU run.\u00a0 Each side scored one more as UAlbany completed the game up 17-10 for the win.<\/span><\/p>\n

UAlbany plays one more non-conference game before the start of America East play, hosting Canisius on Tuesday, March 25 at 3 p.m. at John Fallon Field.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
