Geoff Akie and Will Lowe paced the Lords (0-1) with two goals each. Akie added an assist.

Stevenson 11, Haverford 5
Haverford College's men's lacrosse team traveled to Stevenson University on Saturday night looking to make an early-season national statement by taking down the seventh-ranked Mustangs. Despite two-goal games from both Christian Clay and Zack Cohen, the No. 17 Fords opened the season with an 11-5 non-conference loss. Senior goalie Joe Banno finished with 17 saves for the Fords on 48 Stevenson shots while the Mustangs' Ian Bolland  made nine saves on 30 shots by the Haverford attack.
