BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- The Moravian University men's lacrosse squad nearly rallied from a three-goal deficit in the fourth quarter before falling to visiting Drew University, 10-9, in Landmark Conference action on John Makuvek Field Wednesday evening as the Greyhounds played their final home match of the year.

How It Happened

• The Hounds needed just over a minute to open the scoring as freshman attack Nick Coffaro found the net. However, the Rangers scored the next four goals to lead 4-1 after 15 minutes of action
• Sophomore attack Ryan Kokoszka began the second quarter with a goal while Drew scored twice for a 6-2 advantage. The Blue & Grey scored in the final minute of the half on a man-up goal from junior midfielder Aaron Judge to cut the score to 6-3 at the intermission
• The Rangers netted the first goal of the second half to stretch the advantage to four goals at 7-3. The Hounds would run off three straight goals to end the period. Senior attack Trevor Dzama started the run, and he would set up goals by Kokoszka and junior midfielder Dan Kelly to get Moravian within one at 7-6 after 45 minutes of play
• Drew restored its three-goal lead with two markers to start the fourth quarter. Kelly found the net with just over 10 minutes to play, but the Rangers responded again. Kelly cut the deficit to 10-8 with 5:12 to go, and the Greyhounds were within one with 1:57 remaining when Kokoszka hit the net off a feed from Dzama, which was his school record 125th career assist. Moravian was unable to get the equalizer in the remaining time despite getting another shot on goal
