In one of the best games played on the WNEC campus in recent memory, the Endicott mens lacrosse team defeated the WNEC lacrosse team in a 13-12 overtime victory, giving the Gulls their second consecutive TCCC lacrosse championship.
In the first quarter, Endicott jumped out to a commanding 5-1 lead on a 4-0 scoring run after WNEC attackman Patrick White tied the score at 1. The G-Bears would charge back into it in the second, with 5 goals in the quarter, including two by Corrigan Harreys, who netted two of his four goals to tie the score at 7 going into the half.
After going back and forth in the third quarter, it seemed as if WNEC was beginning to pull away in the fourth, taking a 12-10 lead when a Justin McKinney feed to Harreys set up his fourth goal of the game. Endicott would come right back though, with the Gulls tying the score with 1:21 remaining in regulation, taking full advantage of a cross-check that sent Jim Murphy to the box with 2:16 remaining. The Gulls would go on to take the game in overtime, when Kyle Jordan scored with 1:04 remaining to end it.
With the victory, the No. 17 ranked Gulls recieve and automatic bid into the NCAA tournament. The G-Bears could possibly join them in the tournament as well, as they are ranked 19th in the nation.
