'Le Moyne Men's Lacrosse Rolls in Season Opener' by Dave Rahme, The Post Standard

Syracuse, N.Y. – The No. 2 Le Moyne College men’s lacrosse team opened the 2009 campaign with a 15-4 win over No. 6 Dowling College in non-conference action at West Genesee High School. Sophomores Matt Chadderdon (Auburn, N.Y./Auburn) and Jack Harmatuk (Syracuse, N.Y./Christian Brothers Academy/Syracuse) each scored four goals in the win.

The Dolphins exploded for eight goals in the third quarter, including four over the first four minutes, to break open the game. Chadderdon scored a pair of unassisted goals to ignite Le Moyne’s six-goal scoring streak. Senior Jack Mooney (Webster, N.Y./Webster Thomas) rocketed in his second goal of the game before Harmatuk wrapped a pair of goals around a man-up goal by sophomore Jack Venditti (Baldwinsville, N.Y./Badwinsville). After Dowling cut the lead to seven, at 10-3, sophomore Nick DiSarro (Niskayuna, N.Y./Niskayuna) netted back-to-back goals to round out third-quarter scoring. Senior Brooks Robinson (Preble, N.Y./Tully) handed out a pair of assists and classmate Brian Welch (Ithaca, N.Y./Ithaca) added another in the decisive third quarter.

Chadderdon registered his fourth goal a minute into the final quarter. After John McClure put in his third goal of the game for the Golden Lions, sophomore Corey Bulken (Baldwinsville, N.Y./Baldwinsville) fed Harmatuk for his fourth tally of the game. Junior Mike Rabbitt (Simsbury, Conn./Simsbury) sent home the game’s final score, his second goal on the afternoon, at the 6:24 mark to deliver the 15-4 result.

Four different Dolphins (Harmatuk, Rabbitt, Mooney and Chadderdon) accounted for the team’s four first-half goals. Le Moyne jumped out to a 4-0 lead before Dowling closed the gap on McClure’s first two scores. The Dolphins managed 28 shots in the first half and held an 18-2 first-quarter shots advantage. Dowling goalkeeper Ryan Dougherty turned away seven shots in the first quarter and finished with 12 saves for the game.

Le Moyne senior netminder Doug McIver (Altamont, N.Y./Albany Academy) accumulated four saves on the afternoon, including a pair of crucial stops with less than three minutes to play in the first half. Le Moyne’s starting defensive unit of seniors Tim MacLean (Troy, Mich./Detroit Jesuit) and Marc Cizenski (Syracuse, N.Y./West Genesee) and juniors Drew Bezek (Lowville, N.Y./Lowville) and Paul Sullivan (Buffalo, N.Y./St. Francis) caused six Golden Lion turnovers and picked up eight ground balls.

The game was a rematch of the 2006 NCAA Division II National Championship, which Le Moyne won to claim the second of its three titles. The win also marked the Dolphins’ fourth in a row against the Golden Lions.

No. 2 Le Moyne (1-0) returns to action March 7 in Baltimore, Md. to face No. 10 Limestone at Johns Hopkins University.
