WESTERVILLE, Ohio – It was a tough afternoon for the Otterbein men's lacrosse team at Memorial Stadium, as Wooster pulled away in the second half to notch a 13-3 decision.

HOW IT WENT DOWN:

• The Fighting Scots won the opening faceoff and scored almost immediately to capture momentum. Otterbein settled in, though, with a man-up goal from Carson Rainone and later tied the game again (2-2) midway through the second quarter on a shot from Marcus Wright.
   
• Wooster took a 3-2 lead into the break after Will Fink found teammate Luke Budd for a timely score.
   
• The Cards didn't score in the third but still only trailed 5-2 entering the final quarter. However, Wooster found a groove with a quick 6-0 run to begin the frame and never looked back.

 
STATS THAT MATTERED:

• Wooster captured all 20 faceoffs on the day, including an 11 of 11 effort from Rory Zahren.
   
• Fink and Lane Kellogg each netted a hat trick for the visitors, who stay perfect after topping Westminster in their recent season opener.
   
• Luke Farthing, reigning OAC Defensive Player of the Week, did what he could with 14 saves. Wooster fired 53 shots and held a 27-9 margin on goal.
   
• Shep Marty and Lincoln Troxell both caused three turnovers on the Otterbein defensive end.

 
UP NEXT:

The Cardinals (0-2) will remain at home to begin next week as part of a three-game opening homestand, welcoming Kenyon College under the lights come Wednesday at 7 p.m.
