Box Score
WESTERVILLE, Ohio – The Otterbein University men's lacrosse team stayed perfect in Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) play Wednesday evening, posting a 15-4 victory over Wilmington College at Memorial Stadium.

The win sets up a showdown between the Cardinals and the University of Mount Union (12-3), which will travel to Westerville this coming Saturday standing 4-0 in league play as well. The winner earns the league's regular-season title and the No. 1 seed in the upcoming OAC Tournament.

Junior Mike Sullivan helped give Otterbein an early lead over the Quakers, scoring four of the teams' first-five goals in the opening period.

Wilmington got on the scoreboard when Jalen Jackson beat the first-quarter horn, but Otterbein once again outscored the visitors 5-1 in the second period en route to a 10-2 halftime lead.

The Quakers tallied an initial goal to begin the second half, but the Cards settled back in with five unanswered to put the game away.

Sullivan matched a season-high four goals in the game while senior Mikey O'Neal dished out four assists in addition to scoring once. O'Neal entered the week ranked eighth in the country for most assists per game.

Senior Mike Dattolo and sophomore Marcus Willis each netted two scores and classmate Carlos Salazar, the reigning OAC Defensive Player of the Week, went 12 for 16 at the faceoff-X.

Jackson posted a team-high four points (two goals, two assists) for Wilmington, which only got off eight shots compared to Otterbein's 51. Wilmington goalie Paul Koerbel made 14 stops in goal but the Quakers struggled to get the ball up-field at times, going just 8 of 28 on clear attempts.

Sullivan and Hayden Novicki helped Otterbein retake possession on a chunk of those failed clear attempts, each coming up with four caused turnovers.
