Loyola Advances In NCAA Tourney

 Loyola University Maryland men’s lacrosse had to sit through a two-hour, 14-minute storm delay before opening faceoff on Saturday night, but the Greyhounds built a 4-2 lead after the first quarter that they extended to a 10-5 halftime head before downing the University of Virginia, 14-12, in the NCAA Championships First Round at Ridley Athletic Complex.
With the win, Loyola advances to the NCAA Quarterfinals for the second time in three years. The Greyhounds will face Yale University on Saturday, May 12, at Hofstra University’s James M. Shuart Stadium. The game time will be announced Sunday.
Pat Spencer (Davidsonville) finished the contest with two goals and three assists for a game-high five points. In the process, he broke two Loyola single-season records.
He became the first player in school history to score 90 or more points in a season, eclipsing the record of 89 set in 1981 by Gary Hanley that he tied in 2016. Spencer also broke his own single-season assist record of 55 set last season. He now has 33 goals and 58 assists for 91 points in 2018.
