Devils Drop Road Contest to Monarchs

Box Score WILKES BARRE- Pa. – The FDU-Florham men's lacrosse team took a 12-3 loss to the King's College Monarchs on Thursday afternoon.

Trailing 2-0, freshman Mike Duesler (Clifton, N.J./Clifton) netted the Devils (6-7, 1-3 Freedom) first goal off of an assist from Daniel Minnich (Laurys Station, Pa./Parkland). The Monarchs (7-6, 3-2 Freedom) responded by tallying the next three goals and led 5-1 through one period of play.

With 6:45 to play in the second quarter, Minnich found the back of the net but the Devils were outscored 2-1 in the period and entered intermission trailing 7-2.

King's came out and scored the first two goals of the second half to stake a 9-2 lead and FDU-Florham was unable to mount a comeback. With 4:36 to go in the third, freshman Connor May (Rochester, N.Y./Greece Arcadia) scored the Devils final goal of the contest.
