PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College men's lacrosse team fell to No. 5 Denver, 13-9, on Saturday, April 18 in Denver, Colo. The Friars moved to an overall record of 4-9 (0-4 BIG EAST), while the Pioneers advanced to 10-2 (4-0 BIG EAST) on the season.
For the game, junior Michael Perettine (Farmingdale, N.Y.) and graduate student Sean McGuire (Wycoff, N.J.) registered three points each. Perettine scored two goals and contributed one assist, while Sean McGuire scored one goal and added two assists. In addition, junior Will Mazzone (Stony Brook, N.Y.) scored two goals.
The Friars held Denver scoreless in the first quarter. Providence got on the board with a goal from Perettine at the 3:03 mark. Senior Buck McClure (Dallas, Texas) was credited with the assist. With 49 seconds left in the first quarter, freshman Conner Byrne (Hicksville, N.Y.) scored the Friars' second goal, with an assist from senior Greg FitzMaurice (Huntington, N.Y.). The Friars ended the first quarter with a 2-0 lead.
Denver opened up the second quarter with three-consecutive goals to take the lead, 3-2. However, the Friars responded with three-straight goals of their own. Mazzone scored two back-to-back goals at the 4:31 mark and the 2:59 mark. McGuire and Perettine were credited with the assists, respectively. Perettine scored his second goal of the game, unassisted, with seven seconds left in the first half to take a 5-3 lead.
The Pioneers scored five goals in the first 5:02 minutes of the third quarter to take the lead, 8-5. Providence freshman Joshua Keller (Grand Rapids, Mich) scored an unassisted goal with 8:56 remaining in the third to cut Denver's lead to two, 8-6. Denver's Erik Adamson scored with 4:48 left to end the third quarter scoring, and the Pioneers headed to the fourth quarter with a 9-6 lead.
Sophomore Keenan Assaraf (Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.) opened up the fourth quarter with an unassisted goal for the Friars (14:23) to get back within two of the Pioneers, 9-7. Denver notched four-straight goals starting at the 11:20 mark and ending at the 5:56 mark to take a 13-7 lead. McGuire halted Denver's run with an unassisted goal for the Friars at the 4:49 mark to make the game, 13-8. McClure also added a tally with just 14 seconds left in the game to make the final score 13-9. McGuire was credited with the assist.
Senior Peter Badgley (Summit, N.J.) spent all 60 minutes in net for Providence and collected 15 saves.
"I am extremely proud of our teams performance today at Denver," said head coach Chris Gabrielli. "We countered their face-off dominance in the first half with team defensive stops, great goal-tending, and efficient clearing. I am proud of the way we responded to their third quarter run to get back to 6-8 and then 7-9. Denver made an incredible save against one of our transition opportunities that could have made it a one goal game early in the 4th quarter. Our boys continue to fight and we continue to improve."
The Friars will conclude their regular-season schedule versus BIG EAST foe Villanova at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 25 at the Ray Treacy Track and Field in Providence, R.I. Prior to the game, Providence will honor its senior class and graduate students who will be competing in their final regular-season game with the Friars.
