Notre Dame holds on to beat Dryden

The Daily Review

Notre Dame jumped out early and held on late to beat Dryden 13-12 in Section IV lacrosse action Saturday.
The Crusaders (2-3) jumped out early, taking a 6-1 first quarter lead.
"It felt really good to jump out to a 6-1 lead," Notre Dame coach Chrus Ruooco said.
However, late in the first quarter Notre Dame lost a player.
"We were down 11 guys because of a band trip leaving us with 14 players," explained Ruocco. "Then we lost a guy late in the first quarter due to a game misconduct which gave us only 13 boys."
Dryden (0-4) rallied in the second, out scoring the Crusaders 5-2 to cut the lead to 8-6.
From there they would cut it to 12-11 but a goal by Brandon Mahajan with 2:11 remaining in the game gave Notre Dame a two goal cushion. They would need it as Dryden cut it to one but couldn't knot it up.
"I'm pleased with how our defense held up all game and the way the team kept fighting," said Ruocco. "It was true ironman lacrosse and the boys earned this win in every aspect."
Jonas McCaig continued his strong play with four goals and six assists, giving him 37 points in five games. Chapman and Mahajan had four goals each with Mahajan adding an assist. They are both averaging three goals per game.
Jason Jin also scored his first career goal.
Ross Cole and Gavin Marsh had four goals each to lead Dryden.  (Edit - Ross 5 - Gavin 3)
The Crusaders had the edge in ground balls (33-16), shots (37-16) and face-offs (17-11).
Both teams went 5-for-10 on man-ups. Will Brennan made four saves for Notre Dame while Trip Calele had four stops for Dryden.
"We took control on shots and ground balls and they're both crucial stats to help win a ball game," remarked Ruocco. "I'm very proud of all 14 boys that were there today and who gave it their all."
