Chester County, PA - The men's lacrosse team was back on the road on Saturday afternoon after a tough home battle against Cobleskill. The Dolphins were looking for their first win of 2022 when they traveled out to Pennsylvania to take on Immaculata College. Despite a strong effort, CMSV couldn't keep up with the Mighty Macs, losing by the score of 15-8. The Dolphins are now 0-3 to open their season. 

Over the first half hour of play, the Dolphins kept pace with Immaculata. After a quick opening goal by the Mighty Macs in the first 70 seconds of the contest, sophomore defenseman Adrian Guillermo opened things up for his team, scoring his first collegiate goal while tying things up at one. After Immaculata scored three straight, head coach James Fitzerald's offense once again cut into the deficit. First it was senior Matthew Pincus, who scored with 4:25 left in the first off a pass from Albert Dore. Then it was freshman Ryan Jean-Pharuns, who put one past the goaltender for the first time in his young career to make it a 4-3 game. Sophomore Jacob Cochran scored to make it a 6-4 contest, and Dolphins went into halftime down five. 

Things quieted down for the Dolphins offense in the second half. While top offensive players in Pincus, Giovanni Jean-Pharuns and Patrick Nagy combined for four goals, the Mighty Macs offense was too much to overcome for the Dolphins' defense. 

Both Pincus and Giovanni Jean-Pharuns scored two goals while adding a helper to their stat lines while Joseph Santana joined Dore, Pincus, Giovanni Jean-Pharuns and Ryan Jean-Pharuns in the assist category. Guillermo also paced the Dolphins with seven ground balls and three caused turnovers while freshman Aaron Smith added five ground balls of his own. Goaltender Sawyer Davis impressed with 26 saves in 60 minutes of action. 

The Dolphins will return to the road this coming Tuesday to take on Mitchell College.
