College Men’s Lacrosse Final – Guilford 22, Alfred State 5

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Guilford College’s Adam Fiore had a goal and season-high six assists in the Quakers’ convincing 22-5 win over visiting Alfred State College Wednesday.

Including Fiore, 14 different Quakers (4-1) dent the twine in the team’s second 20-goal outing of the season. Guilford last had multiple 20-goal games in 1992.

Guilford scored the game’s first three goals as Connor Manning dominated the face-off circle to help the Quakers retain possession. Teddy Alvardao got the Pioneers (0-4) on the scoreboard midway through the first quarter before Guilford answered with nine straight scores, three by Alex Brownlee. Alfred State’s Aaron Buck scored 1:26 before halftime, which made the Quakers’ edge at intermission, 12-2.

The second half featured more of the same as the Guilford substituted liberally. Fiore set up goals by Daniel Hughey and Jace Sowden before netting one himself for a 15-2 third-quarter advantage. Alvarado scored a man-up goal for the Pioneers before Guilford ripped off seven straight scores and took a 33-2 lead with three minutes left in regulation.

Brownlee’s three goals paced the Quakers. Hughey, Sowden, Will Forrestal, Ian Wiesenberg, Andrew McDonagh and Daniel Haupt each tallied twice. Wiesenberg and Chandler Zirkle both contributed two assists. Manning won 15-of-18 face-offs and picked up 10 ground balls. Thomas Deane played the first half in goal and made two of the team’s four saves split among three netminders. Guilford outshot its guests, 70-12, and picked up 40 ground balls to the Pioneers’ 21.

Alvarado shared game-high honors with three goals and Buck added two goals and an assist for the Pioneers. Joe Wittmeyer picked up a team-high four ground balls and goalie Ryan Amidon made nine of the team’s 19 saves in his 30 minutes of first-half action.

Coach Tom Carmean’s Quakers visit Shenandoah University Saturday (3/21) in an Old Dominion Athletic Conference game at 1:00 p.m.
