ARLINGTON, Va. - Stevenson men's lacrosse
junior Richie Ford (Baltimore/Towson) tied a
career and season-high with nine points as he, junior Jimmy
Dailey (Westminster/Winters Mill) and senior Steve
Kazimer (Syracuse, N.Y./Henninger) combined for 18 points
as the No. 3-ranked Mustangs downed Marymount (Va.) on the road
Wednesday night, 18-6.
With the win, Stevenson (11-1, 3-1 CAC) extended its
regular-season road winning streak to 14, including 10-straight in
the CAC.
With five goals and four assists, Ford has totaled nine points
in a game, which is three shy of the school record, three times in
his career. He now has 58 points through 12 games this season, just
28 shy of his career-high 86 set in 2007 and only 34 short of Eric
Schmith's school record of 92 set in 1998.
Ford also has 199 career points in two-plus seasons at
Stevenson, just one shy of becoming only the third player in school
history to reach 200.
The Mustangs trailed 2-0 in the first nine minutes and 3-2 after
the first quarter.
However, Stevenson scored the game's next 13 consecutive goals,
capped by the first of the season from sophomore Justin Lea
(Elkridge/Mount Saint Joseph), to take a 15-3 advantage
with 6:24 remaining in the third quarter.
Lea's high school teammate, sophomore Andrew McCrumb
(Elkridge/Mount Saint Joseph), as well as freshman
Aaron Taylor (Powell, Ohio/Dublin Scioto) also
netted their first goals of the season.
The trio of Ford, Dailey and Kazimer combined to score eight of
the Mustangs' 13 goals while playing a role in 10.
Stevenson opened the second quarter with six goals in the first
five minutes, including four over the first 1:41.
Three Mustang keepers, senior Andrew Harrington
(Cambridge/South Dorchester), freshman Pete
Wesselman (Charlotte, N.C./Providence) and sophomore
Ian Bolland (Mountain Lakes, Pa./Mt. Lakes), were
credited with 23 saves.
Jeff Cook led the Saints (3-9, 0-4 CAC) with two goals while
Chris Wascak and Drew LaFleur also had two points each. Ross
Fernandez made 14 saves, Marc Scanlon eight and Joe Gagliardi
