LYNCHBURG, Va. - The No. 2-ranked Stevenson men's lacrosse team rallied from a 5-0 deficit and kept its 24-game regular-season unbeaten streak alive with five consecutive goals to start the fourth quarter en route to a 12-9 road victory over No. 18 Lynchburg Saturday night at Shellenberger Field.

The win was the second-straight for the Mustangs (7-0) against the Hornets and their first in three meetings in Lynchburg.

The difference for Stevenson came in the second and fourth quarters where they outscored the Hornets 12-6, including 7-4 in the fourth.

Trailing 7-5 after three, senior Steve Kazimer (Syracuse, N.Y./Henninger), the 2009 Attackman of the Year and 2010 Tewaarton Trophy candidate, totaled two goals and three assists as the team scored five-straight goals to take its first lead, 10-7 with 5:04 remaining.

Kazimer had a hand in seven of Stevenson's 12 goals, totaling four goals and three assists.

After scoring unassisted at 10:35 to start the fourth quarter, Kazimer assisted junior Jimmy Dailey (Westminster/Winters Mill) to tie the game with 8:59 left which started a stretch in which the Mustangs scored three goals in a span of just 54 seconds.

Kazimer netted his fourth off a feed from Dailey to give Stevenson the lead for good at 8:17 before he found junior Richie Ford (Baltimore/Towson) just 12 seconds later to push the lead to three.

Kazimer then assisted on the game-winner by junior Kyle Moffitt (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin East) with 5:04 remaining.

Lynchburg (4-3) took a five-goal lead after holding the Mustangs scoreless for the game's first 24 minutes. The last time Stevenson was held scoreless in a quarter was 12 games ago on Apr. 19, 2009 when it lost to Salisbury in the CAC championship game.

However, Moffitt scored at the 6:20 mark of the second quarter that also started a stretch of five answered goals, the last of which came with just six seconds remaining when junior Neal Bartheleme (Towson/Dulaney) scored on a feed from Ford to tie the game at 5-5 at halftime.

Ford finished with three goals and one assist and now has 120 career goals in three seasons at Stevenson, two shy of Eric Schmith's school record.

Senior Geoff Hebert (Lutherville/Dulaney) made 14 saves, one shy of his career-high, while picking up a career-high 10 ground balls.

Junior Ray Witte (Annapolis/St. Peter and Paul) won 16-of-25 face-offs and has won 37-of-55 for a .673 winning percentage the last two games after he totaled the second-most wins in school history with 21 versus No. 15 Stevens on Wednesday.

Pat Ohrem and Dylan Hoff each had two goals and one assist for the Hornets while Franc Cook had 11 saves.
