Gettysburg 13, Washington College 11
Freshman Robby Maddux continued his scoring surge with three goals and sophomore Derek Ruebling also netted a hat trick as No. 17 Gettysburg took over sole possession of first place in the Centennial Conference with a 13-11 at No. 15 Washington College on Saturday. Gettysburg (9-3, 5-0 CC) defeated rival Washington (8-3, 5-1 CC) for the 16th consecutive time and extended its season winning streak to seven games. The Bullets lead the Shoremen and 10th-ranked Dickinson College (10-2, 4-1 CC) for the top spot in the CC with only three games left on the regular-season schedule. After netting six goals on Wednesday against Eastern University, Maddux put up three more tallies on six shots at Washington. He also scooped up five ground balls. Ruebling came off the bench for his scoring output, while senior Caldwell Rohrbach turned in one goal and three assists. Junior J.T. McCook made nine saves in the cage. Grant Hughes led the Shoremen with a game-high four goals, while Michael Trapp corralled 10 ground balls. Goalie Peter Stewart made 10 saves.

Dickinson 14, Swarthmore 5
The #10-ranked Dickinson College men's lacrosse team had 12 players mark the scoring column on Saturday as they posted a 14-5, Centennial Conference win at Swarthmore College. Sam Abramson and Richard Craft each tallied two goals and an assist to lead the attack as 12 different players tallied a goal or an assist on the afternoon. Junior Greg Hanley (Laurel Hollow, N.Y./Cold Spring Harbor) made seven saves, including four in the fourth quarter. Jonathan Molloy led Swarthmore (4-8, 1-4) with a pair of goals.

Haverford 9, Franklin & Marshall 8
A late goal from Henry Lanier broke a tie and pushed Haverford College's men's lacrosse team to a 9-8 Centennial Conference victory over visiting Franklin & Marshall College on Saturday afternoon at Swan Field. Circling from behind the net around F&M goalkeeper Cameron Setian's left side, Lanier fought off a defensive jam and launched a shot over Setian's shoulder with 3:22 to play to break an 8-8 tie and eventually give the Fords (4-7, 2-3 CC) their second conference victory of the year. F&M slips to 8-4 overall and 3-3 within the league after Saturday's loss. Senior goalie Joe Banno was another star for the Fords as he accounted for 13 saves in the game including four in the final period.

McDaniel 6, Ursinus 5
McDaniel scored the final five goals of the game to defeat Ursinus 6-5 in Centennial Conference (CC) men's lacrosse action on Saturday. JS Duke (Fort Washington, Pa./Upper Dublin) led the Green Terror (7-6, 3-3 CC) with a goal and three assists. Mark Stratton paced the Bears (5-7, 1-4 CC) with two goals. With 5:40 to play, Duke, on a restart from behind the cage, found DJ Rickels (Forest Hill, Md./Boys Latin School of Maryland) on the left wing for the go-ahead goal and the defense withstood of flurry in the waning minutes for the team's third straight win.
