[9/9] Denver Falls to [8/8] Georgetown in BIG EAST Final

NCAA Selection Show set for Sunday at 7:30 p.m. MT on ESPNU

MILWAUKEE, Wis. – The [9/9] University of Denver men's lacrosse team dropped the BIG EAST Championship game 14-5 to [8/8] Georgetown on Saturday afternoon at Valley Fields.
 
First Quarter:
Georgetown got on the board on its second possession of the afternoon to take the early lead. Nicky Solomon completed a first-quarter hat trick to give the Hoyas a 3-0 lead in the first 15 minutes in the Valley. Denver outshot Georgetown 6-5 in the quarter, but the Hoyas put all five of their shots on goal and cashed in on three of them.
 
It was the first quarter Denver had been shutout in since its trip to the nation's capitol on April 1.
 
Second Quarter:
Georgetown got the first three of the second quarter as well to force a Denver timeout with 8:37 to play in the second frame. The Hoyas added a seventh goal in a row to start the game before Joshua Carlson found the back of the net with 3:38 to go to finally end the drought.
 
The Hoyas got the final two goals of the first half in response to take a 9-1 lead into the locker room.  
 
Third Quarter:
JJ Sillstrop got Denver on the board on the man-up that carried over from the second-quarter, his 30th of the season.
 
Back-to-back-to-back quick Georgetown goals in response got the Hoyas lead to 10 at 12-2 with less than 11 minutes to play in the quarter.
 
Mic Kelly found the back of the net with 5:39 to go in the frame to make it a 12-3 game. The Hoyas took a nine-goal margin into the final frame.
 
Fourth Quarter:
The Hoyas got the first two in the final quarter to stretch its lead to 11 before goals from Noah Manning and a second from Sillstrop made it a 14-5 game, the final score on Saturday afternoon.
