Rutgers Men’s Lacrosse Victorious in First Road Game of the Season

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Sophomore Kory Kelly (Princeton, N.J.) tallied a team-high three goals and freshman Mike Diehl (Flemington, N.J.) scored twice and added an assist as the Rutgers men’s lacrosse team picked up its first win of the 2009 season with an 11-7 victory over Manhattan at Gaelic Park Wednesday afternoon.

Rutgers (1-1) used a six-goal effort in the third quarter to improve to 9-0 all-time against Manhattan (0-1). Junior midfielder Justin Pennington (Flemington, N.J.) scored his third goal of the season and dished out two assists, all in the decisive third quarter.

“I thought that we did a good job of persevering and playing through tough weather conditions and we’re happy to come away with a road win,” said head coach Jim Stagnitta. “We regrouped and came together to play a strong second half. Offensively we executed despite the conditions and we were able to accomplish what we set out to do.”
