Box Score A goal by Joey Ely of Mount St. Joseph with 3:00 left on the clock in regulation put the Lions ahead 14-11 over the Augustana men's lacrosse team on Sunday, March 23^rd in Cincinnati, Ohio. With 1:13 on the clock goalkeeper Cody Burgdorff (Peak-to-Peak HS, Lafayette, Colo.) picked up a ground ball and three seconds later the Vikings were down by two after an unassisted goal by Alexander Crescenti (Jacobs HS, Algonquin, Ill.). As time was winding down Tim Fennelly (Littleton HS, Centennial, Colo.) found the back of the net with just 25 seconds left to put Kyle Hart's squad within one. Burgdorff picked up a loose ball with only :08 remaining and with just one tick left on the clock Kevin Gleason (Loyola Academy, Chicago, Ill.) put away his sixth goal of the afternoon to send the game into overtime.
 
A Burgdorff save with 3:04 remaining in the third overtime was the start to a successful clear attempt and the eventual game-winning goal by Scott Davis (St. Thomas Aquinas HS, Overland Park, Kan.) that was assisted by Jesse Nagelberg (St. Charles East HS, St. Charles, Ill.).

In the final quarter the teams traded goals early but eventually the Vikings outscored Mount St. Joseph 6-2 to even things out at 14.
