PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College men's lacrosse team fell to Boston University, 8-7, on Sunday, Feb. 3 on Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium.
1st Quarter: Chris Gray picked up where he left off last season for the Terriers, scoring the first two goals of the game. Freshman Matt Grillo (Setauket, N.Y.) responded with his first-career goal to make it 2-1. BU went back up by two goals before freshman Jake Antonucci (Westwood, Mass.) notched his first-career tally. Jack Collins scored his second goal of the quarter for the Terriers to make it 4-2 with 2:35 remaining on the clock. Providence answered the Terriers once again, as Tim Hinrichs fired a shot top-shelf. Kevin McCordic (Medfield, Mass.) picked up the assist on the play.
2nd Quarter: Providence opened the second quarter with goals from Nick Shaw (Canton, Mass.) and Ryan Nawrocki (Smithtown, N.Y.) to take a 5-4 lead. At the 5:56 mark, James Burr tied the game for BU. The Friars had a two-man advantage for 30 seconds and then a one-man advantage for 30 more seconds late in the quarter but were unable to convert. By halftime, BU's goalie Joe McSorley already had 14 saves. The Friars held a 17-7 advantage in shots in the second frame.
3rd Quarter: The third quarter featured another offensive advantage for the Friars, as Providence outshot BU, 11-3. Sean Leahey (Cranford, N.J.) scored the lone goal of the stanza to give the Friars a 6-5 lead at the 4:16 mark. His first goal of the season was assisted by Brendan Kearns (Wantagh, N.Y.).
