Devils Survive Against Lebanon Valley, 5-4

MADISON, NJ - Senior attack Drew Canfield scored four goals to lead the College at Florham Devils to a 5-4 win over Lebanon Valley in Middle Atlantic Conference action on Saturday afternoon.

With the win, the Devils snapped a three-game losing streak and improved to 5-5 (3-3 MAC) while the Dutchmen dropped to 4-7 (2-4 MAC).

The Devils got exactly the start they were looking for, as they scored two goals in the first 2:03 of the game thanks to Canfield and freshman midfielder Jake Higgins.  The Dutchmen came right back though, with a goal in the first quarter and two in the second quarter to grab a 3-2 halftime advantage.

FDU tied it at 3-3 with 7:41 left in the third quarter when Canfield converted a pass from junior midfielder Paul Colflesh.  LVC responded quickly however, scoring just 0:28 later to grab a 4-3 lead.  It remained 4-3 heading into the fourth quarter when Canfield tied it at 4-4 with 11:16 left.  Canfield then notched the game-winner, off a pass from Colflesh, with 5:52 to go.  The Dutchmen had the ball with a minute left in regulation but the FDU defense stood tall to earn the victory.

Freshman goalkeeper Dino Vitale picked up the win, making nine saves.  Freshman midfielder Billy Deignan controlled the face-offs, winning 8-of-13.

The Devils return to action on Wednesday, April 13, 2011, at home against Manhattanville beginning at 7 pm.
