PC Men’s Lacrosse Strong During Spring Break
Presbyterian College’s men’s lacrosse
team had one of the better weeks of its two years as a
varsity sport at PC during spring break last week. The Blue
Hose were 2-2 on the week, obtaining victories over Pfeiffer
and Seton Hill, while succumbing to No. 8 Molloy and St.
Michael’s.
PC is now 2-6 on the season entering its 3:30 p.m. game on
Wednesday, March 21 against Lees-McRae in Banner Elk, N.C.
The Blue Hose ended the week with an 11-9 win over Seton
Hill at St. Paul’s School in Baltimore, Md. on Sunday, March
18.
PC was led in the victory by George McManus (Ponte Vedra,
Fla.) and Jake White (Overlea, Md.), who both finished their
efforts in the win over the Griffins with a team-leading
three goals.
Both players also dished out an assist.
Ben Ewing (Atlanta, Ga.) finished the contest 10-for-15 on
his face-offs, while McManus scooped a team-high four ground
balls.
Ewing and Brian Foley (Charlotte, N.C.) both netted a
team-best three goals in PC’s 19-9 loss to St. Michael’s at
St. Paul’s School in Baltimore.
Foley led the team altogether on the day with five points
after also recording two assists in the loss.
Ewing was once again strong on his face-offs in the contest,

PC fell 20-11 to No. 8 Molloy College on Monday, March 12 at

Presbyterian played the Lions a great deal closer than the
score as the Blue Hose tied the Lions in the third quarter
with both teams scoring three. PC then allowed just one more
(5-4) goal to Molloy than they scored in the fourth quarter,
deeming the real story in the game to prove to be the second
quarter when the Blue Hose were outscored 7-1 by the Lions.

netting a game-high four goals and a game-high tying three
assists. He was one of five Molloy players with two or more
goals and one of three with two or more assists.

three goals and a game-high tying three assists. Jeremy

game.
